Bottled water is not necessarily healthier or safer than tap water, Tampa, Florida-based sports nutritionist Cynthia Sass told the American College of Sports Medicine 11th annual Health & Fitness Summit in Dallas.

Sass points out that an estimated 60 to 70 percent of all bottled water in the U.S. is packaged and sold within the same state, which exempts it from FDA regulation. And 1 in 5 states do not regulate that bottled water. Moreover, tests on 1,000 bottles of 103 different brands of bottled water found man-made chemicals, bacteria and arsenic in 22 percent of the bottles. Read more here.
The thing is that I find myself drinking more from the bottle. It's easier at work and I don't find that I spill as much.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering just the other day...what did we do before we had bottled water? As a teen I don't think I ever even drank water because it didn't come in bottles back in the Old Days. I agree with Milly - I drink more because it's convenient.
