Bottled Water: Is It Safe?

I came across an interesting article today on a topic I’ve lectured about during this past year. How safe is our drinking water? According to a study done by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), “‘straight from the mountains’ bottled water is not so pure after all.” Yesterday, EWG released an industry-rattling report that reveals the dirty truth about bottled water. They reported they found an alarming array of contaminants which included cancer-causing byproducts of chlorination, fertilizer residues, industrial solvents and caffeine.

What Can We Do?

• Drink filtered tap water instead of bottled or unfiltered tap water.

• Mix infant formula with filtered, non-fluoridated water.

• Carry water in safe, reusable containers.
