An extra twist has been added to your bottled water!
How about cancer-causing byproducts of chlorination, fertilizer residue, industrial solvents and caffeine.
Laboratory tests conducted for Environmental Working Group at one of the country’s leading water quality laboratories showed alarming results. 10 popular brands of bottled water were tested and the results showed:
- an average of 8 contaminants in each brand
- 38 chemical pollutants altogether
- one-third of the chemicals found are not regulated in bottled water
- some chemicals exceeded legal limits in California as well as industry-sponsored voluntary safety standards
- four brands were also contaminated with bacteria
Most people who go to the trouble of buy bottled water do this because they believe that this water will be healthier and of better quality. But once again we’ve been deceived.
Now What?
Drink Filtered Tap Water
Make sure you have a good filter in your house. Remember that to remove fluoride form the water you need a filter using reverse-osmosis.
A lot of our tap water has high levels of fluoride. High amounts of fluoride is unhealthy especially for babies and children under 7.
