| Levissima
This low mineral content water originates at more than 6,000 feet in the Italian Alps close to the ski resort of Bormio. The bottling plant is in the valley below and the water is transported in glass lined pipes down the hill. Levissima is very popular in Italy and widely distributed in northern Italy. |

| Health Aspects of Calcium and Magnesium in Water
Beginning about 50 years ago, numerous epidemiology studies in many countries concluded that populations consuming 'hard water' containing calcium and/or magnesium have a lower risk of certain types of cardiovascular disease. These studies have not always observed the 'hard water' benefit effect, but in 2004 a committee report to WHO concluded that, on balance, the benefits hypothesis was probably valid, especially for magnesium in drinking water. A more detailed scientific assessment of the benefits hypothesis is necessary before WHO can make a decision with respect to guidance on magnesium and calcium in drinking water. |

| Shelf Live of Bottled Water
The FDA has not established a shelf life for bottled water. In the United States bottled water's shelf life is date stamped for two years. This acts as a SKU number and is mainly for stock rotation purposes. It does not imply that the product is compromised after that date. As long as bottled water is packaged in accordance with FDA processing and good manufacturing practices, and is meeting the FDA quality standard provisions, the product's shelf life should remain intact for an indefinite period of time. |
