~The sale of bottled water is only regulated across state lines, which means, that the FDA regulations don't apply to manufacturers who sell their their product in their own state. They could be putting things into the water and we will have no clue, which is dangerous. Source~https://connectusfund.org/13-impressive-pros-and-cons-of-bottled-water
~About 22,000 tons of plastic ends up in Oceans, daily.

~The plastic from the bottles, ends up in oceans, and fish are eating it, therefore, we are eating fish.
~And even the fibers from the plastic, end up in tap water all over the world, so basically you are consuming plastic from drinking tap water.

These bottles of water are a healthy alternative to the sodas and soft drinks in the market. Bottled water is good to have in stores. Also battled water doesn't have as high a chance as tap water getting contaminated with rust and lead from pipes. Also Tap water is prone to have chlorine and other chemicals such as mercury or manganese. Fluoride is also in some tap water. Fluoride is good in moderation but if a lot is consumed it may lead to brittle teeth and arthitis.

     Some new information I learned was: the chemicals that leak into plastic water bottles increase over time, and one specifically, called  antimony, can lead to dizziness, nausea, and even depression.
     Plastic water bottles are made from either petroleum, or natural gas,and the extraction of these can result in the release of air pollutants, greenhouse gases and known carcinogens.
Bottled water is also a waste of water. According to a International Bottled Water Association study done in 2013, North American water bottling firms use 1.39 liters to make 1 liter of water; but that doesn't even include all the water use across the full supply chain.]]> 2018-02-21 16:31:10 UTC https://padlet.com/virginia_renehan/3fwu3l2mrbke/wish/233833602 Bottled water V.S.

Bottled water costs from $0.89 per gallon to $8.26 per gallon, compared to fractions of a penny for water from your tap. That makes bottled water thousands of times more expensive than tap water. Bottled water garbage is a major source of pollution. If tap water has an odd taste, that doesn't mean that it is unhealthy or contaminated. The taste may result of chlorination, or the mineral content in the water.                                                 (https://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/about/live-healthy/tap-water-vs-bottled-water) 
Arsenic is a poisonous element known to be extremely carcinogenic. The Natural Resources Defense Council estimates as many as 56 million Americans drink water containing unsafe levels of arsenic. http://www.liveinthenow.com/article/the-dirty-truth-about-tap-water

BPA is an industrial chemical that has been used to make certain plastics and resins since the 1960s.

Here is a list of just a few of the chemicals routinely added to the Cincinatti water supply:
  • Liquified chlorine
  • Fluorosilicic acid
  • Aluminium sulphate
  • Calcium hydroxide
  • Sodium silicofluoride 
It is almost impossible for the water not to become contaminated by something else undesirable while traveling through the underground pipes. Copper, lead, and mercury are just a few metals found in pipes. You can assess the quality of your water by testing for Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) with a TDS meter which reads the TDS instantly and gives a read-out in parts per million (ppm) TDS.

It is linked to some types of cancer.

An experiment done in 2013 showed that 95% of girls had BPA just in the US.

  • About 1,500 water bottle are consumed every minute.
  • Plastic bottles also contain phthalates, and PVC that make the plastic more flexible.
