Nope. The oldest living actress from the recently posted list is 105 
years old. The current oldest living person is a nun in Brazil who is 
116 years old.  :-)

The "experts" are morons who change their minds every other week thanks 
to the idiotic way they run their useless "studies" (tiny sample size, 
ignore any other factors, etc.).

The reality is that everything can be bad for you if you use it to 
excess. You should simply eat whatever normal foods and drinks you want 
sensibly, unless your doctor tells you otherwise (e.g. you are 
diabetic, etc.).

"Fresh mountain water" is full of minerals and compounds collected on 
it's travels downstream that will be bad for you if drank to excess. 
Even if it was 100% pure water, it will still be bad for you to drink 
too much of it.
