I think the reason that you shouldn't drink the water when abroad in certain places is that it has bacteria in it that your immune system can't recognize, hence getting sick. People who live in these countries are immune since their body has had time to build up their immune system, so they don't get sick.
Fun fact: 90% of the cells in your body aren't yours... they are foreign invaders such as bacteria, fungi, or archaea. For example, the bacteria in an average adult's intestine have a total mass of about 1.5 kg.

I was going to reply to this, but now I'm too busy throwing up.
I'm guessing you've never seen an Activia commercial then. Gassier than Jupiter? Jamie Lee Curtis' army of trained bacteria will get you farting in no time!
The operative word in that sentence is "may". The mugs don't necessarily have lead or cadmium on them, but if they're made in a factory where there are other products that are glazed with them they still have to carry the label.
This makes as much sense as anything. At one point I was randomly reading my peanut butter jar:
And I was like "wtf?? Anchovies in my peanut butter?"
I'll bet real money that Wal-Mart doesn't manufacture their own products (not most of them, anyway) but rather makes deals with other name-brand manufacturers to make stuff that is then distributed under the Wal-Mart/Sam's Choice/Great Value/Equate brand. The name-brand products make up for the price difference though by getting better placement on shelves.
I remember hearing somewhere that Sam's Choice Cola is just a rebranding of New Coke (aka. Coke II).
In Switzerland we are, until now, relatively free from these rather funny pointless warnings(*). But when I travel to North America or GB, I love to read the fine print on packages, because you often find silly warnings. I have already seen this prop. 65 warning in a restaurant in San Diego: Ingredients used in this restaurant may contain blab la bla, which I found very appetizing.
“Warning content under pressure” on coke pet bottles is also quite interesting (seen in Canada), as was also “Caution, meat not included” on a single-use portable BBQ grill. Gold medal goes to “Do not use this product while driving”, seen on………a distributor of whisky-flavored condoms in a Scottish bar.
This being said, I will drink without fear from my MI drinking vessel, once I get it (I ordered it with the TOMI DVD which has not yet shipped.)
(*)Well, I must admit that I have seen a warning for allergic people on milk bottles that says: “Contains Milk”.
you first take a information about that,most of those warnings originate from force-feeding rats enormous amounts of those chemicals to see if they're dangerous. So unless you actually eat the cup.
Today at breakfast we looked at the orange juice bottle. It proudly proclaims 'real orange juice!' but according to the label it's part juice, part concentrate and part long list of chemicals.

They make all their products with the same machinery, probably without cleaning it. I refuse to shop at Wal-mart, much less buy their brand of food.

Sam's Choice is made by Cott Beverages, not Coca-Cola.
shocker: Sainsbury's Mixed nuts conatin Nuts.
It works the other way round too! Neal's Yard dried cranberries are mostly... not cranberries.
Also, Kellogg's "All-Bran" is only 87% bran.
meaninglessly revived!!!
