      Appreciate Video! Apologies for butting in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you tried - Proutklarton Protecting Aqua Plan (google it)? It is a great one of a kind guide for getting prepared for a mega drought minus the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my work colleague finally got amazing results with it.

      L3G. 100°C sounds like a hot temperature.
      Hot = Burn
      Water goes in through the throat hole.
      Therefore, Hot + Water = Burn throat.

      +Warndog which means it went bad. for a food to go bad people assumes it just means "it decayed", but water is pretty simple, cannot go bad on its own, like you said it accumulates contaminates which is pretty much the same thing at the end of the day.

    • @Warndog9
      @Warndog9 8 лет назад

      Yea that's true to a point. But then again, the water itself is fine and the contaminates can be extracted. In the end the actual water stays unchanged.

      @waswestkan 8 лет назад

      +Peter Caulton Why recommend what is very difficult or impossible for people to do, when the risk being avoided is very negligible? I have never seen water in glass containers in the at stores where I live. While I haven't went shopping for any, I assume glass containers are expressive to buy and expensive to ship. More likely that not a plastic product is use to seal the jug or jar. Stored water for emergencies is hopefully for a short time use, and is essential, I feel it unreasonable to focus any hazards from plastic.

    • @dangoddess
      @dangoddess 8 лет назад +1

      +waswestkan Really? I collect my drinking water from a natural spring and store it in empty wine bottles that have screw top lids. If you care about your health you can do that too. Glass is reusable and eco friendly. Tell your supermarket that you will no longer buy water in plastic bottles and call your local water authority and tell them to supply you with healthy drinkable water from your house supply or you will lower your contributions to their supply.

    @lazerlazer 8 лет назад +10

    First of all, thank you for all of your incredible videos. I really mean that. BUT............ the one thing I wanted to REALLY know you touched on at the end but never fleshed it out. What happens, say, if you open a 16 ounce bottle of water, take a swig and then close it? What would be the shelf life in that scenario? Also, I guess you would have to take in consideration if the bottle was left out afterwards or put immediately into the refrigerator? Thank you!

    • @BrainStuffShow
      @BrainStuffShow  8 лет назад +8

      Hey hey! Once you've put your mouth on a water bottle, there's going to be some saliva and bacteria in there. Even if you close it back up, the bacteria can start multiplying. Putting it in the fridge would help prevent them from growing. You probably wouldn't need to worry too much about drinking from this kind of thing either way -- it proooobably wouldn't make you sick. But it definitely wouldn't be as clean as a sealed bottle of water.

    • @KshitijPatil1
      @KshitijPatil1 8 лет назад +1

      Since water sort of absorbs chemicals from plastics, how possible is it to absorb similar chemicals from the metal pipes in our water systems? In which case, which is more harmful, water stored in plastic bottles or water stored in metal pipes?
      Sidenote: Here in India, we have a tradition of storing water in Copper utensils overnight (at least) before consuming it (They say it is good for your body). When my mom came to know about it, she god a bunch of copper cans to drink water from.

    Aseptic water kept properly will stay aseptic… Septic water might become more OR less septic in any conditions…
    Drain water is either sceptic or toxic…

      Remember, the bottle and the water are completely sterile when they place it in. If you say, drink from the bottle, lightly rinse it then refill it, there will be bacteria left and may go bad.

    Very true, though it would be great to go a bit more into detail.
    Water doesn't go bad because whenever you think of things "going bad" you generally picture an apple or some leftovers getting moldy and gross. When organic material like that "goes bad" it's because it's being consumed by bacteria, yeast, and other teeny tiny things, which are actually breaking it down bit-by-bit and changing it on a microscopic level-- like yeast chewing up all the tiny sugars that make up the structure of that organic material.
    Water on the other hand, H2O, doesn't get consumed by microbes in this way. It's not comprised of organic matter, it's just a Hydrogen and 2 Oxygen atoms. It only SEEMS to "go bad" from our macroscopic perspective because what we see is a change in the entirety of the stuff in our container; observable changes like those that are happening thanks to dust flecks and hairs getting stuck to the surface, and the algae, mosquito larvae, etc. mentioned in this video. However, the actual individual microscopic bits of H2O doesn't get consumed and changed by bacteria, yeast, etc. as we see with organic compounds like sugars, proteins, starches, etc. which is how it differs. It helps to examine and understand what's going on when something "goes bad" in accordance with common parlance. ;)
    I was kinda hoping you guys would have explained it from this perspective, but great video nonetheless! I really hope you revisit this some day and give a more granular supplemental recap. :D

    My sister got food poisoning (can you call it that when you are talking about a liquid?) when she drank some water from a previously used bottle that had been standing in her room over the Christmas holidays.
    Because it was a previously used bottle it had bacteria in it, and the bacteria had multiplied and thrived in the water inside the bottle, making her sick when she drank it.

I've never ever heard of anyone telling people how to get rid of plastic in one's body out of said body. Or if that's even possible, b/c certain toxins NEVER leave the body.

    • @silentepsilon888
      @silentepsilon888 6 лет назад

      it is not the water in itself that goes bad, but it is the container that the water comes in that can cause the problems. Most water comes in thin clear plastic bottles which when exposed to heat can leak chemicals into the water. Air inside the container is filled with bacteria and that can cause some contamination of the water as well. So like it was said in the video, the water itself will never go bad, but it can be spoiled by outside factors such as air, bacteria and chemicals if they are allowed to get into the container itself. There are water products in cans on the market now that come with 30 and 50 year shelf lives and they are designed to prevent contamination from outside.
