It is a good thing that there’s now a convenient way to drink and bring water just about anywhere we go. However, a lot of issues arise on whether or not bottled water is safe and healthy to drink. I’ve just read a recent article about this issue and I’d like to share this information to you. There are actually 6 concerns on bottled water that we can consider as myths: MYTH #1:
Bottled water isn't necessarily any purer than the water you get from your tap -- it's just more expensive.The Environmental Working Group tested 10 major bottled-water brands. Thirty-eight low-level contaminants turned up in the water, with each brand containing an average of eight chemicals. Disinfection products, caffeine, Tylenol, nitrate, industrial chemicals, arsenic and bacteria were all de

Bottled water is widely considered to be a purer choice than tap water, but a new investigation finds that this isn't always the case. In its test of 10 best-selling brands of bottled water, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) found mixtures of 38 different pollutants including bacteria, fertilizer, and industrial chemicals in some of the tested brands at levels that were similar to tap water.
Maybe we expect that we are already safe when we drink water in the bottle. But I read an article thats says that study's lab tests on 10 brands of bottled water detected 38 chemicals including bacteria, caffeine, the pain reliever acetaminophen, fertilizer, solvents, plastic-making chemicals and the radioactive element strontium. Though some probably came from tap water that some companies use fo

Tap Water Versus Bottled WaterSo many people these days are screaming "No bottled water...it's just glorified tap water!" I don't necessarily believe that to be true. Like anything that you purchase (especially if it's something entering your body), you need to do your own research, figure out for yourself which bottled water will best fit your family's needs. And today the needs are basic: get he
Smithee on Consumerism Commentary recently wrote about bottled water : Bottled Water? What Was I Thinking?

Why did Americans spend nearly $11 billion on bottled water in 2006, when tap water costs only one ten-thousandth the price of bottled? Elizabeth Royte examines the phenomenon in her book “Bottlemania: How Water Went on Sale and Why We Bought It.”
Part of the reason is simple marketing; in 2006, Pepsi, which owns Aquafina, spent $20 million suggesting that Americans “drink more water.”

When I think of bottled water I think of hot tennis players gulping it down between matches. There certainly is a stigma about bottled water.

There is no doubting that.

There's an old saying, "a good salesperson could sell snow to an Eskimo," which pretty much sums up my feeling about bottled water. To say we don't need bottled water would be an understatement. Most everyone in developed nations actually has water, good water, government tested, high quality, great tasting water. It comes right out of the tap. But companies are always looking for ways to make a buck.Why is bottled water such a bad idea? You could complain about the price, which is often 3 times as much as what we pay for gasoline, and even more in restaurants, or you could consider the fact that sometimes bottled water (such as Aquafina) is just bottled tap water, but really the main problems are waste and pollution. Bottling and shipping water is a waste of energy and is a source of poll

How do you feel about bottled water? It's been the center of a lot of issues lately: health-related and environmentally-related. First off, I think I'll address the environmental issues. A couple weeks ago, the Globe reported on a proposed change to the MA bottling law:The law allows consumers to redeem 5 cents for bottles and cans of soda, beer, malt beverages, and mineral water, but it doesn't allow for the return of noncarbonated bottles of water, iced tea, juices, or energy drinks, which now account for about one-third of all beverages sold in Massachusetts.My only question, does that mean my water is now going to cost 5 cents more per bottle? Right now it costs a little under $5 for a case of water at Costco (30'ish bottles?). A 5 cent deposit would mean another $1.50 tacked on.
Liberals confused as their plan to raise revenues from higher taxes on bottled water fails. From the Chicago Sun Times:
Are Chicagoans trekking to the suburbs to buy cases of bottled water -- and avoid a new nickel-a-container tax that adds $1.20 to the price of a 24-pack? Or are they making the switch to tap water to save money? One or the other is happening. Maybe both.

To cut down on trash and help the environment, the city of Seattle
will stop buying bottled water. The city could also save as much as
$58,000 a year with this measure.
The executive order states that producing bottles for U.S. consumers
required more than 17 million barrels of oil, not including the fuel
required to transport the bottles. Only one of 10 bottles is recycled.
Bottled water costs about $8 per gallon, while a gallon of tap water
costs a fraction of a penny.
City workers still will be allowed to bring bottled water to work,
and vendors who operate on city property will still be allowed to sell
bottled water.

Source: www.sierraclub.org/cac/water/bottled_water | ’s an amazing fad, one of the most successful advertising hypes in recent history. Advertising for bottled water suggests that drinking water in plastic can make you thin, sexy, healthy, affluent, and environmentally responsible. Water bottles have become a fashion accessory. These ideas have a source, and it’s not a mountain spring. Giant multinational companies like Nestle, Coke, and Pepsi are making a fortune on bottled water. In the U.S. a sip of bottled water costs on average 1,000 times a sip of water from the tap. But it’s not just about the money.

Many believe that water is life, while others believe that water is their livelihood. I'm talking about the latest bottlled "holy drinking water". In fact most religions have associations with water. For instance, water is used to ordain priests, Muslims wash hands and feet before they pray, orthodox Jewish women take ritual baths once a month and every Christian denomination still uses water as part of its sacred rites.With that god-send idea, a few savvy marketers have taken advantage on this universal symbol of purity for financial gain. These feel-good entrepreneurs even claim that drinking these "holy drinking water" is not only good for your health, it actualy makes you good. Like a crucifix or a rosary, a bottle of "holy drinking water" is a daily reminder to be kind to others and it also makes you stay focused, believe in yourself and believe in God. Interestingly, all these companies give a portion of their profits to charity. See, people will do anything in the name of God.
