Ron Paul drinks Fiji water

[Paulitical Correctness]

I'm buying some Fiji stock.

What do you use to distill your water?

Do you find it cheaper than buying an 18L jug of distilled water?

A relatively cheapish water distiller (all steel interior).

It's about the same as buying bottled distilled water, maybe a bit less after 2 years. It costs about 1 dollar for a gallon of distilled water here. So at a about 1.5 gallons a day, I'd say it should be paying for itself in about 2 years, not including electricity costs. The benefits are that I use a glass caraffe so It doesn't sit in plastic after distilling unlike the bottled variety. In addition to that, I'm doing it so I know exactly how it was distilled, that it was actually distilled, and I know that it was bottled into glass jugs that were stored in clean conditions.

Little to no flouride, mercury, lead, micro-organisms, etc... and no parabens (plastic additive). So at least I can rest assured that my water won't contribute to holes in my brain, plaques on my brain and heart, diseases, OD of estrogen compounds. My next goal is to get a house with a decent bit of land so I can grow my own food and create my own electricity. Eventually I hope to be 100% self-sufficient.

FIJI is disgusting. In my chemistry class we extracted all the impurities of various bottled waters, pond water and river water. FIJI was by far the most contaminated, even more than the pond water. The cheapest (local) bottled water was the cleanest.

More than pond water??? I call bull-$#@!.

Every hotel that I have ever stayed in... has a bottle of Fiji sitting on top of the TV for the guest.

I travel frequently for my job, and I have never noticed such a phenomenon. I see various brands of water, if any water at all.

[Mystile]

I'm a fan of tap water myself.

[ForTheRevolution]

fiji water is actually a big waste.

theres a study about a year ago explaining how much co2 is released because of just one bottle of fiji water. Bottled water is a huge waste, drink tap. Its saves money and is much better for the enviro...

[polexi]

I drink the stuff too. Mmmm.

[ionlyknowy]

bump

[Joseph Hart]

Its proof that hes for foreign trade!

Fiji water tastes great! But it's also more expensive than many other water bottle brands... is this where our contributions are going?!

I just saw RP on Cspan taking a swig from a bottle of Fiji water. That is my favorite bottled water also. I'm beginning to think there's nothing about this man I don't agree with.

I'm sorry....I know this was pointless and silly. I'm laid up sick, and I'm a little bored right now.

Ahhh please dont start thinking like Obama supporters. Obama is pretty hes about change.

Self-bumping because I think it's hilarious that the lamest thread I've ever started has gotten more views than any other thread I've ever created.

[RonPaulVolunteer]

It's funny, in Fiji, they drink New Zealand water, in the US the drink Fiji water, in New Zealand we drink, New Zealand water. Ever BEEN to Fiji? I have, and you won't catch me drinking Fiji water.

* Added to my grocery list!!!

Anyone know if Fiji is fluoridated?

No it is not!!! It's the only water I drink to because it is about as naturally awesome as we can get this days.

It comes from ancient volcanic aquifers and is bottled at the spring. Pure, with all the minerals we need from water and also naturally has silica to make it silky smooth and easy to drink.

Google it. Fiji water rocks!!!

And yes people, stay far away from flouride and flouridated water. That stuff has a toxicity level between that of arsenic and lead. It's a toxic waste by product of mining phospherous for fertilizers. To keep from polluting our streams, lakes, rivers and oceans with it, they decided to put it in products we consume so our livers will act as the toxic waste dump for it.

Research the hazards and history of it.

For your teeth, use a calcium fortified toothpaste instead. JASON makes a good one.

... I'm thirsty

[constituent]

frankly, i need all the fluoride i can get.

i've recently switched back to tap.

Take calcium with vitamin D instead. the D helps the body assimilate the calcium better.

Flouride has been shown to rot teeth.

Please research it.

i was referring to the apathy it's alleged to cause.

my teeth are fine.

I have a feeling Fiji Water stocks will rise Monday thanks to this post :P

Haha...but yeah I love Fiji Water. Don't always get it though because it is generally more expensive.

I see. Appearantly you just saw Hillary on TV again and are trying to obliterate the image from your head?

[Joe3113]

Or cspan could have provided it.

I wouldn't be trusting any water he is given by the media. Not even C-SPAN.

[Steve4RP]

Finally a decent point I can disagree fully with RP...I'm a Brita Water man!

[leipo]

The manufacture and transport of one kilogram bottle of Fiji water consumes 26.88 kilograms of water (7.1 gallons) .849 Kilograms of fossil fuel (one litre or .26 gal) and emitted 562 grams of Greenhouse Gases (1.2 pounds).

Twenty-six times as much water used to make it than you actually drink. As much fuel to make it as there is water in the bottle.

Why anyone would want to buy this is beyond me. The profit margin is ridiculously high aswell.

Cindy is right. PLEASE watch this short (29 min) documentary about flouride:
