Saw this on TV last night--made me glad I use a wide mouth bottle and not one of those sports top ones!
One Washington-area doctor says drinking bottled water could actually be like smoking three packs of cigarettes a day.
According to D.C. dermatologist Dr. Marilyn Berzin, dozens of women have come in puzzled by lines and wrinkles around their lips. It's a condition termed "smoker's lips" because of the similar pattern of wrinkles found on the faces of long-term, heavy smokers.
But many of the women have never smoked a day in their life. Instead, they're drinking from water bottles.

Sure, except that it won't give you cancer of the mouth, throat, or lungs :laugh: The article makes some sense, but the subtitle is just about the stupidest thing I've ever read. Drinking water shouldn't be likened to smoking 3 packs a day! We make the same faces when kissing, and adolescent females on MySpace make that face every time they take a picture. The subtitle should say "Doctor likens effects of drinking water from bottles to taking too many kissy faces."0 -
