In an article by PBS Frontline the topic was “What’s in Your Water Bottle?” The article includes information on safety and lots of interesting facts about just how clean some bottled waters really are.
If you want to eliminate the risk of disease or harmful chemicals than you should avoid bottled water. After testing 1,000+ bottles of water (comprised over 100 different brands) nearly a third of them were contaminated with synthetic organic chemicals and bacteria. The obvious choice over bottled water is a filtered bottle. You know it’s properly filtered because you’re filtering it as you drink!
The World Health Organization (WHO) warns that bottled water is inherently a non-sterile product that’s stored longer and at warmer temperatures than tap water. The WHO says that these conditions lead to micro-organisms growing at higher levels. These microorganisms pose a threat to infants, pregnant women, and patients living with low immune systems.
The clear alternative to eliminate the threats found in bottled water is to filter water as you drink it with a Portable Filtered Water Bottle.
