Tap water also passes the test of taste I still have not found reason to prefer the bottled water "mineral" in comparison tap water ....
Tap water passes the taste test of taking water from containers
anonymous and relying on the palate is almost impossible to distinguish the first taste of
tap water from the mineral waters. Not even 2 out of 10 Italians, in fact, the first time were able to identify who was
bottled water and what that output from domestic plumbing. E '
the result of a test conducted by Legambiente in 6 Italian cities (Milan, Rome, Naples, Palermo,
Foggia). Only 14% of respondents recognized the difference between tap water and mineral water
. In Rome, for example, only 18% to 30% of respondents Naples means the water from the tap as the
taste nicer, less than 20% in Milan recognizes
mineral water, in Palermo on 90% of respondents did not find differences between different types of water.
What did the test show? Dispelling the belief that bottled water is good
of what is consumed at home. But also highlight the environmental impact
represented by the large amount of packaging - 5 billion plastic bottles each year - and their
transport from north to south, with 300 000 Tir. Our country is in fact leading the
consumer of mineral water. 72.4% of Italians drink more than half a liter of
mineral water per day and an average household spends about € 18 per month.
