The drinking water in our country is nowhere near as clean as it should be.

Bottled water isn’t necessarily of a higher quality than tap water.

The regulatory authority on bottled water does a poor job of regulating bottled water and keeping it safe.

The best bottled water brands make their water test results available to the public.

Investing in a water filter is a safer, less expensive and more environmentally friendly option than bottled water.

In recent years, it has supplanted soda as the most popular non-alcoholic bottled beverage in the country.

Clearly, many people feel safe drinking bottled water. But do these feelings line up with the facts?

Is bottled water safe to drink?

Unfortunately, the answer is not necessarily.

There’s a lot more risk associated with drinking bottled water than you may think. In fact, bottled water can be more dangerous than tap water!

Discover how the truth about bottled water differs from public perception and what you should be aware of if you choose to buy bottled.

Why do you choose to purchase bottled water?

 If you’re like many intelligent people, you see the pristinely packaged bottles and assume the water inside them must be just as pure.Â

After all, it’s got to be safer than the contaminated tap water you keep hearing about , right?

Thank you ….Climate change is affecting everything from weather patterns to the quality of the water we drink at home.

Rising sea levels are causing saltwater to flow into the groundwater.

Groundwater, along with surface water that flows from lakes, rivers, streams, and reservoirs, are the sources for tap water, so higher salinity levels could make the water too salty to drink.

And this would be a big problem.

Regulation on the public drinking water supply and protect the health and well-being of people.

Three-step method for setting standards for drinking water.

First, the organization identifies contaminants found in water and at what levels those contaminants put public health at risk.

It notes which contaminants will require further study and which need to be regulated. Currently, there are contaminants.

Next, a maximum contamination level goal MCLG for the contaminants it will be regulating, aiming to keep contamination levels below their determined risk thresholds, which are decided within a margin of safety.

Lastly, the organization sets a maximum contaminant level MCL for known contaminants in the public water system and enforces these standards using the most effective and economical technology and treatments available.

Do you want to add a word or two?

Still hesitant to drink water straight from the tap?

Bottled water isn’t the best solution

Bottled water is typically marketed as being cleaner and safer to drink than tap water.

However, just because it comes tightly enclosed in a bottle instead of flowing out of a decades-old faucet doesn’t make any better for you.

Numerous studies have found that some of the fancy bottled stuff (which often boasts that it comes from far away glaciers and streams) may actually contain harmful substances that have the potential to make you sick.

This is in part because of the different regulatory systems that are in place.

While municipal water systems must notify their customers of test results showing contamination that could pose an immediate health risk.

Your Comments……

Bottled waters from around the world and found that a whopping 93 percent of them contained “micro plastic” synthetic polymer particles.

Some of the plastic particles weren’t all that small, with some “definitely” visible without a magnifying glass or microscope.

Tap water is used for a variety of reasons and bottled water just basically used for drinking. We see bottled water as cleaner than tap water because it is considered to be well “purified.” But the truth is that both tap water and bottled water can both be dirty.

Tap water comes from the sink and may contain added fluoride. This can prevent tooth decay but can also have negative toxicological side-effects.

Though mold in bottled water isn’t as easy to spot as moldy bread or cheese , it can occur.

After receiving numerous complaints from customers and found that it contained Talaromyces penicillium, a mold that can cause allergic reactions and feverish symptoms if inhaled or touched.

Bottled water is a controversial topic. Some people refuse to touch the stuff, while others drink nothing else.

Many have wondered whether bottled water is worth the often significant extra expense or if it’s just another food scam.

To be sure, there’s no definitive answer, with both supporters and detractors making relevant points.

Those opposed argue that bottled water has its roots in an earlier era when municipal or public water sources weren’t always sanitary or readily available.

Today, bottled water could potentially be less safe than tap, as the latter is legally required to undergo extensive regular testing, while the former is not.

In some cases, those who’ve investigated where bottled water comes from have found that municipal water is sometimes the source of “purified water” that’s then put through extra filtration and adjusted for taste.
