I just bought a small case of Aberfoyle from Home Depot at a very good price ($2.98) but I find them unbelievably hard to open. Maybe that's why they are so cheap. :-) >heavy on the cal and deficient in the mag. As I recall, it's not heavy in >sodium, but I'll re-check. My bottle says "sodium-free" but goes on to state; Sodium 2.8 mg/250 mL Potassium o.3 mg/250 mL It says it is Natural Spring Water with a natural mineral content of 280 ppm/ flouride ions 0.2 ppm It's greatest concentration is HCO3 at 210 ppm. Other info on Aberfoyle; Approved in West Virginia; http://www.wvdhhr.org/phs/bottledwater/records3.asp Perrier is (or will be) buying the company and Aberfoyle is apparently the fifth largest portable bottled water manufacturer in North America. (I have never heard of it until a week ago). Marilyn ---------------------------- [log in to unmask] ----------------------------
