Is Water In Water Bottles Really Safe?

             Many Americans buy water bottles thinking its safe but is it really? The water bottled Industries is one of the most lucrative Industries, last year alone Americans spent $3.5 billion dollars on bottled water. Americans buy water for many reasons, the taste of the bottle water is said to be much better than tap water. But is it? In a recent study more than one-fifth of tested brands contained levels of bacteria or cancer causing compounds that exceeded California’s limit, which is the strictest in the country.

          With more than 700 brands of different water that is available in the United States, and 75 of the brands made from imported waters. Bottled water is required to be tested less frequently than city tap water, which leaves open for bacteria and chemical contaminates. So, how do we know which ones are good and which ones are bad?  To tell if the water you drink is ok, some things you can do is check the label if it says spring water. To really make sure if the water is spring water you could possibly call up the company and ask where do they get their water from and see if it’s from a fresh spring.

         Many water have been tested and one of the worst water has to be Arrowhead and Smart water those just two waters that have been tested and found to have high levels of bacteria. The one type of water that has been shown to be very good is Kangen water. The word Kangen is Japanese for “Return to the Origin” which helps to explain the philosophy behind its promotion as health food. According to its theory, the human body needs acids and alkalis to properly process foods, make repairs and generally remain in good working order. Kangen water and other ionized or alkaline water products are also said to have smaller molecules, which means they are more easily absorbed by the body. Ordinary tap water or unprocessed bottled waters have water molecules which tend to pass through the body without reaching individual cells. Without proper rehydration, those cells can suffer from a form of cellular dehydration and either die too soon or fail to function efficiently. Kangen water is believed to have the ability to rehydrate those cells before they essentially dry out.

              Please what ever you do don’t stop drinking water.  It’s something we need to survive in life. There are many brands of water that are ok to drink like Crystal Geyser and Evian water. If you want to even more careful you can even invest your money in a water filter and a stainless steal bottle to keep safe. My purpose was to inform on the different kinds of water and not to make you stop drinking water. Before you pick up your next bottle of water does your research before you drink?
