Bottled Water Bad?

Remember when you were a kid and whenever
you needed a drink of water you turned on the
faucet.

Well, it may be time to revisit those days - or
something similar.

Why? Because most of the bottled water being
sold to us at steep prices is unsafe.

For years we've been told that water from the tap
is bad - and water that you pay for from the bottle
is good.

Well, surprise surprise.

A recent study at the University of Iowa, looked into
the contents of ten top brands of drinking water.

And guess what they found?

Here's a direct quote:

"Researchers found 38 impurities in the 10 brands of
bottled water they analysed. This included disinfection
byproducts, fertilizer residue, traces of pain medication,
solvents, chemicals used in the plastics industry, bacteria,
and radioactive strontium. Across the 10 brands, the
researchers found an average of 8 pollutants in each."
