[QUOTE= My kat drinks fiji water, just like I do. The number one killer of kats is kidney disease (renal failure). I did a Ph test on my fiji water. it was a perfect 7. I did the same Ph test on my filtered tap water.....9.5 (alkaline)
Blech, I'm drinking chlorine.....thats why we do not drink it.[/QUOTE]

Great points, YB, and not to sound like the proverbial canary in a coal mine, but I had another telling experience when I learned what just a little bit of the water can do when I went to St. Petersburg, Russia, for a writers' conference.

St. Petersburg may well be the giardia capital of the world. I knew this going in, and was meticulous about what I drank. However, I stayed at a basic student hotel with no water filters on the shower heads or in the sinks. Needless to say, it only takes a drop of water to introduce something like giardia. And so I was out seeking a remedy after a week of rapid weight loss and digestive gymnastics.

I don't think folks should panic, but I do think a growing consciousness about water is called for.
