#6 Emoto took a sample of Zamzam water, and said: "I couldn't crystallize it, even by diluting the water by 1,000

and what, pray tell, did you dilute it with?

#8 What's really pathetic is that this isn't all that different from some of the New Age 'vibrational healing' idiocy peddled in the west.

#13 I'm starting to feel bad for Allan. Imagine being an onmipotent deity and having this bunch of nincompoops for followers. Man, if I was Allan, I'd be inflicting earthquakes and tidal waves and plagues of locusts on my sorry-assed people until they woke up and got it together. Losers. Why would I give you three pounds of brains if I didn't expect you to use them?

#14 Arabs tell that when Abraham expelled the female slave who had brought her Ismael (the ancestor of all Arabs) they were on the verge of dying of thirst when they heard the zam zam noise of a source. For that reason that source is deemd sacred by Arabs. Since it is conveniently close to Mecca most pilgrims bring home large quantities of it. Call me cynical but I suspect that the Saudis don't sell it cheap.

#17 "I still don't know how it works exactly, but it works."
You hear this kind of line from almost anyone who has ever been duped. It transcends cultures. Doesn't matter if it's healing water, perpetual motion, or magic beans. If you ever hear yourself say such a thing, remove yourself from the gene pool.

#21 The Food Standards Agency is advising consumers not to drink bottled water on sale that is labelled as Zam Zam water, as it may contain high levels of arsenic.

Tests carried out last year found that bottled water labelled as Zam Zam water contained arsenic at almost three times the permitted level, which could contribute to increasing people's risk of cancer.

In addition, nitrate was found at twice the permitted level. While this is not a problem for most people, it could be for infants because they are more sensitive to nitrate's effect on the blood's ability to carry oxygen.

Recent tests by Leicester City Council (reported to the Agency on 15 September) have confirmed that elevated levels of arsenic continue to be found in bottled water labelled as Zam Zam water.

Genuine Zam Zam water, which is sacred to Muslims, comes from a specific source in Saudi Arabia and cannot legally be exported from that country for commercial sale. Therefore, any product found in the shops would have an uncertain origin and could pose a safety risk.

#22 In recent meetings with the Agency's Muslim Organisations Working Group, the FSA was informed of the continued sale of bottled waters labelled as Zam Zam water.

In view of this, the FSA's advice remains that people should not buy or drink commercially available brands of Zam Zam water and should inform their local authority environmental health or trading standards department if they come across Zam Zam water on sale. Enforcement officers are empowered to carry out appropriate tests on these waters and also remove them from sale if necessary.

This advice does not relate to the genuine Zam Zam water being brought into UK by returning pilgrims as an accompanied 'personal import'.

Given that the demand for Zam Zam water is likely to increase during the month of Ramadan, the FSA has written to all heads of environmental departments and directors of trading standards asking local authorities to take appropriate enforcement action.
