I live in a small town and the water here tastes terrible! It tastes like metal and pool water. The water is "safe". At least thats what city hall told me when I complained. So, I buy gallon jugs of water to drink at home. I still use the tap water for cooking, but I boil it first, so that weird taste isn't in my food.

And about the Diet sodas, I won't touch artificial sweeteners with a 10 foot pole. They can cause a lot of health problems too. I watched a documentary done by a local group of doctors about this and saw all the sick people in it and how much their condition improves after quitting diet soda/drinks. I mean if one stick of gum with Xylitol can kill a dog, think about what it can do to a person. JMO.
