The thing to know about bottled water is that it may or may not be better than tap water. There is a lot of bottled water out there, all different brands. Some can be better or worse that others whether it is expensive or not. Lots of people prefer to drink bottled water rather than drink the water from their homes because they think it is safer. That may be or may not be true because they have found chemicals in bottled water before. Bottled water may be better than some tap water out of your homes, but it still can have bad things in it and it can do damages to the body.
People may not want to hear this, but it can be true. You do not have to stop drinking bottled water. Just know what you are drinking. Do some checking on it before you buy it, like where they really get it from for example. Some bottled water companies have actually lied to people about where their bottled water comes from and how pure it is, even the FDA even says it. They are trying to tell people that their bottled water is better to drink because it is healthier and purer than tap water is. Not all companies are like this, some are safer and better than others.
Did you know that our own government has no standard to show that bottled water is better or safer than tap water out of the home? The fact is that in many cases there is no proof at all that it is purer than tap water is. We all know that there is a standard for tap water because of the e-coli and all the other bacteria and chemicals that can be in it, but how can you be sure that the bottled water you are paying big bucks for is better or purer. About the only way you could know for sure is to have some tested.
If you want to make sure that you are drinking pure and safe water from home, have your house filtered so you will have clean water to drink and you will not have to buy bottled water. Another thing with bottled water is that the plastic bottles are not biodegradable, which is not good for the environment, it damages it. It is better to use one reusable container for your water so it does not clutter up our world with so much more unnecessary garbage. Recycling is an option, but how many people really go to the trouble? Did you know that companies make over 60,000,000 bottles a year? That is a lot of bottles. If you do buy them, recycle them so they can be used again and it will not damage the environment.
