Question

Why is it that bottled water, which has run through the valleys for years, has a sell-by date on it?

Answer 1

I think every food type item has to have a sell by date.

Also consider the fact that most bottle water is not "spring" water or similar, it's just city water in a bottle.

Also plastic chemicals leak into the liquid inside, so possibly after that date the water contains an even higher amount of those chemicals?

Answer 2

1. that kind of water is constantly moving; that is the key to longevity and vitality. water in bottles is not pure and its stagnant

Answer 3

so folk in the stores know when to rotate it to the front to get it off the shelves

Answer 4

If it's in plastic bottles, the flavour becomes more plasticky over time, and of course, unhealthy.

Also, like someone said, it's stagnant.  It's not flowing with the energy of nature.  It's trapped in a bottle.

Answer 5

The filtration process and its confinement in a bottle makes lose some vital mineral constituents. As`a result, after a set period it may get infected or unwholesome for consumption.
