Important Bottled Water Facts

If you buy bottled water and knew the more salient facts about bottled water, you might feel a little bit foolish.

I know I’m being a harsh but if you did a comparison of bottled water vs. tap water vs. filtered water, you’re likely to feel like the mark who was sold the foot-long hot dog, topped with sauerkraut but missing 8 inches of meat in the middle.

So, just ask yourself this question, “Why are you getting bottled H2O?”

1) It’s safer and healthier than tap water from the faucet.

When comparing bottled water vs. tap water, that’s just one of the misconceptions taken as a fact about bottled water. Here’s what the U.S. FDA stated concerning its supposed safety:

“Companies that market bottled water as being safer than faucet water are defrauding the American public.”

In fact, there are no federal regulations for water that is sold. Governmental rules for tap water are in place and ordinarily assure some degree of quality and safety. So, when considering drinking bottled water vs. tap water, choosing the more regulated tap may be a wiser choice.

2) I drink bottled water that’s been purified.

Most bottled water is not filtered. In contrast, city tap water is purified and disinfected. However, if you happen to be chugging bottled water that is filtered, good for you. If it’s the product I sometimes go for, I am pretty sure the cost is even higher than the less expensive bottled water.

However, there’s still a problem. Filtration is not all the same. High end filters get rid of the live, life-threatening contaminants, the inert, super toxic metals, very minute pollutants and the sediments that affect the taste and quality of the water.

There are cheaper purifiers that essentially get rid of larger sedimentary particles which slightly discolor water but really do little else. Most commercially filtered water tends to improve water rather cheaply.
