Really? My experience is that many bottled waters are counterfeit in certain 3rd world countries (filled at the tap under rather dire conditions) ... thus it is rather important to figure out which are not tampered with (usually through strong control of the distribution network, which in turn means higher price). Sparkling waters tend to be considerably safer, fwiw.
