Those 2 products have nothing more then water in them (and minerals added for Dasani). NY tap water and any other tap water has a myriad of other things in it. You cant tell me that NY tap water is as pure as water having gone through reverse osmosis...That would truly be a miracle... Dont get me wrong I'm not for bottled water, I have been campaigning against it for over a year now but at the same time truth in articles is important. I'm sure NY tap water tastes as good or better then bottled water but to say its as clean (as Aquafine or Dasani) would be a stretch....
