I read an interesting article in a magazine called “What doctors don’t tell you” all about the water industry.  I think by now most people know, and I do hope that you know, that buying water in a plastic bottle is generally a bad idea.  Almost all bottles, even if they don’t use BPA plastic, which has been linked to cancer, generally have plastics that also pose cancer threats.  You certainly are not doing yourself a favour if you drink water out of a plastic bottle and the sooner we all stop buying water in plastic bottles the sooner the manufacturers will move on to healthier options.  

What I also found interesting was how much water is wasted to produce the water that is bottled.  It takes approximately three times the amount of water as is in the bottle during the manufacturing process, to fill the bottle.  Two hundred billion plastic bottles sold around the world annually end up in landfills or the oceans and they eventually break down and pollute our water supply even more.  They say that most of the vitamin water contains sugar or artificial sugars like Aspartane, which has been linked to neurological dysfunction.  

I am one of those people that generally does not have a problem drinking tap water, but I know that a lot of people are terrified of tap water saying that ultimately lawn chemicals, industrial waste, fertility drugs, anti-depressants and antibiotics all find their way into our water supplies and some of those chemicals still remain.  I am not quite sure what the solution is, unless you live right next to a natural spring and can get all of your water there?
