(DeerPark sells 4! different kinds of water--Natural Spring, w/flouride, Drinking, and Distilled.) Only their Distilled tested w/o any Nitrates or Chloride: http://www.nestle-watersna.com/pdf/DP_BWQR.pdf (pages 15-18) Their Natural Spring Water may "taste great"... but with a TDS of up to 210, it's certainly not "less filling"!
