Today there is a wide variety of bottled waters. Bottled water usually comes in three different types – spring
water, natural mineral water and purified water. There are enough bottles of water sold each year to stretch
around the earth three times. There are many reasons why bottled water is so popular. Some people
don’t access to healthy drinking water and they have to drink bottled water. But mostly people drink it
because they believe it’s healthier for them. But is bottled water safe?
Types of Bottled Water
Natural mineral water originates from underground
water deposits. It has always been valued for its health
benefits. However, since get plenty of alkaline minerals
from the meats and vegetables that we eat, the health
benefits of the minerals that this water contains are
minimal. Also, mineral water is not disinfected. Thus, it
may contain naturally occuring bacteria.
Spring water is very often sold as mineral water. But
this water doesn’t have a constant mineral content.
Spring water is cheaper than natural mineral water, but
there aren’t standards regarding pH and mineral
content when it comes to Spring water, so you really don’t know what you’re getting from brand to brand.
Purified water has been purified using reverse osmosis or water distillation. It’s pure but has had all of the
minerals and oxygen stripped from it, leaving it empty and acidic.
Is Bottled Water Safe?
There are a lot of myths about bottled water. A common belief is that bottled water is safer than tap or
home filtered water. People also believe that it’s natural and healthy. These myths are derieved
from deceptive advertising. Is bottled water safe? No, and you should avoid it.
The truth is plastic bottles may contain xylene, styrene, BPA, BPB, and toluene. These chemicals are
known to be neurotoxins and carcinogens, meaning they cause cancer. When you expose these soft
plastic bottles to acidic water, like purified water, the acidic water will break down the soft plastic and
contaminate your drinking water.

2. Morever, bottled water is often more contaminated than tap water because bottled water companies don’t
have to adhere to the same safety standards as municipal water treatment facilities.
Bottled water manufacturers spend huge sums of money to convince consumers that the water they
produce is much better than tap water. The truth is about 40% of bottled water is just filtered tap water! In
some cases, tap water may even be cleaner than bottled water.
As to the cost of bottled water, it can be more expensive than gas!
Home Water Filtration is Best
A home water filtration system, like an EOS water ionizer, is the best
way to make your drinking water really safe. The dual sixteen stage
filters remove 99.99% of the water contaminants from your tap
water, a higher purification standard than bottled water companies
have to adhere to.
What’s even more impressive is that a water ionizer uses water
electrolysis to restore antioxidants to your tap water that will detoxify
your body. Tap and bottled waters do not contain any antioxidants.
Is bottled water safe? No. You should stop drinking bottled water
because of the nasty chemicals and environmental impact. It is
much cheaper and healthier to bottle water in your own home. A
liter of alkaline ionized water from an EOS water ionizer only costs
about 3 cents!
To your health!
