Is bottled mineral water spoiled?
Mineral water is defined as water to which no component has been added in the "production" processes, i.e. in the collection and packaging stages, nor have they undergone any chemical cleaning process.
The mineral water usually contains minerals like calcium, chlorides, nitrates, magnesium, sodium, sulfur, potassium and more.
"Like food, even in mineral water bottles, the main thing, more than the expiration date, is storage," says Dr. Hagit Olnovsky, an expert in health and environmental risk management, SP Interface. Dry - pasta for example - they can hold long after the date.
In case the mineral water is exposed to the sun, then they may be unfit for drinking.
That is why they do not keep water in the car or as it is stored at gas stations - outside. "
Did you even notice the date?

According to Dr. Olnowski, the expiration date is usually earlier than necessary, as it is more economical. “Many times it has nothing to do with the actual expiration date.
The date is less influential but more through storage - the cooler and shadier the source of the water, the longer it can be consumed after the date.
" Water with micro plastic.
Although there is currently no evidence that one-time exposure to microplastics can harm our health, there is no doubt that continuous exposure does. "
What about the tap water that fills the water bottle?
The case of tap water is different and also similar to mineral water.
They also require proper storage, but unlike mineral water they are constantly in the tap.
"Tap water is healthier in Israel - the water is excellent for drinking both in terms of pollutants that are not in it and in terms of values. There is supervision and control of water corporations in accordance with the law, so there is no justification to buy mineral water.
Why does water that stays in the glass for a while have a strange taste?
In the case of tap water, they usually contain enough disinfectants that can neutralize bacteria, even those that have accumulated in the water if you forgot to open a bottle or water in a glass for several hours.
If you drink the water nothing is likely to happen.
Sometimes after several hours in which the water is exposed, they absorb carbon dioxide from the air - which makes them a little more acidic and may also change their taste.
Even in this case it is usually not a dangerous thing.
On the other hand it is important to pay attention to a significant change in the taste of the water, color, or odor.
Although not every change in these parameters is necessarily a health problem, but if it appears it is advisable not to continue drinking from the water and replace them with new ones.
