Bottled or Tap?

The bottled water industry has exploded in recent years, and enjoys annual sales of \
more than $35 billion worldwide.  Americans paid $7.7 billion for bottled water in \
2002, according to the consulting and research firm Beverage Marketing  Corporation.
<br>
<br>According to Co-op America, "as much as 40 percent of bottled water is actually \
bottled tap water, sometimes with  additional treatment, sometimes not." The number \
one (Aquafina) and two (Dasani) top-selling brands of bottled water in the  U.S. both \
fall in the category of purified water. Dasani is sold by Coca-Cola, while Aquafina \
is a Pepsi product. As U.S.  News & World Report explains, "Aquafina is municipal \
water from spots like Wichita, Kansas." <br>
<br>Well, there is a trade off with everything we choose in life and with bottled \
water there are several. There is an  environmental issue to consider and often \
surprisingly a quality issue. A considerable number of used water bottles end up  as \
litter, where they can take several hundred years or more to biodegrade. 90% of water \
bottles end up as either garbage or  litter -- at a rate of 30 million bottles per \
day. When some plastic bottles are incinerated along with other trash, as is  the \
practice in many municipalities, toxic chlorine is released into the air while heavy \
metals deposit in the ash. If  plastics are buried in landfills, not only do they \
take up valuable space but potentially toxic additives such as phthalates  may leak \
into the groundwater. This problem could be avoided simply by recycling used bottles \
regularly. <br>
<br>As mentioned above, some studies indicate that bottled water may be no safer, or \
healthier than tap water in many  countries while selling for up to 1000 times the \
price. Yet, it is the fastest growing drink industry in the world and is  estimated \
to be worth $22 billion annually. <br>
<br>The bottled water market is partly fueled by concerns over the safety of \
municipal water and by the marketing of many  brands that portray them as being drawn \
from pure sources and as being healthier than tap water. However this is often not  \
the case. In fact much like vitamin and herbal supplements there are more standards \
regulating tap water in Europe and the  US than those applied to the bottled water \
industry. <br>
<br>There have been studies that have shown higher risk of certain diseases when \
regularly consuming city tap water and this  is not likely to change in the near \
future subsequently I would recommend the best solution to be the use of a home \
charcoal  & reverse osmosis water filtration which will leave your water pure and \
tasting great. And when on the road use bottled  water that you have verified to \
truly be pure. <br>
<br>This is one of the most important health habits you could possibly maintain. \
Water is essential and if you don't get  enough clean water you will suffer health \
problems. Let me remind you of the water basics. Your exclusive beverage should be  \
water. Try to have at least eight glasses of water a day. It would be best to have \
the water at room temperature. <br>
<br>The simple way to calculate the amount of water most of us need is to drink one \
half your body weight in ounces of  water. The average adult is 150 pounds which \
would be two and one half quarts of water. <br>
<br>The bottom line is that you are better off not drinking unfiltered tap water. \
Chlorine used in most municipal  purification processes is a toxic chemical and \
should not be consumed in large quantities. If you can't get the reverse  osmosis \
then at least get a Brita. Brita filtered water costs approximately 24 cents per \
gallon. However, standard filters  are a more effective solution that will bring the \
cost down to 1-2 cents per gallon. Avoid distilled water as it has the  wrong \
ionization, pH, polarization and oxidation potentials. It will also drain your body \
of minerals. <br>
<br>When using bottled water, avoid purchasing the one-gallon cloudy plastic (PVC) \
containers from your grocery store as  they transfer far too many chemicals into the \
water. The five-gallon containers and the ones in the clear bottles  (polyethylene) \
are a much better plastic and will not give the water a plastic taste. If you have a \
question about the  purity of the water call the company selling it and get an \
"independent lab assessment" of water quality and stick with the  companies that can \
provide this information. You can add lemon juice or coral calcium occasionally to \
your water to help  flavor it and normalize your body's pH if it is too acidic.
