FYI, the trout underground has been following the Nestle thing for some time now. Check out the related articles on this page (obviously Tom has a point of view):

My own 2 cents: I think its important to remember that this is all $ driven. While I do drink bottled water sometimes (rarely). I have made it my habit not too, given here in the US is really not a necessity and we can for the most part filter our water to a point where taste is not an issue.
It seems from what I have read that Nestle would prefer less public scrutiny. Given this alone, it seems obvious there is a need for a comprehensive and independent study (with data to support it).
