Bottled water is indeed a big issue. "Vichy", which is often sold here,
contains around 6 ppm fluoride. Because of this high fluoride content it
must bear a label saying "fluoridhaltig" ("contains fluoride"). Most
people certainly buy this water because they think this labeling is some
kind of recommendation.

Many bottled waters sold here contain more than 1 ppm fluoride. And they
may contain other contaminants as well, which mostly are not mentioned
on the label. Not to speak of bacterial growth.
