Bottled Water May Be No Better, Safer or Purer Than Tap
Dear Reader,
The safety of our food supply has been in the news a lot of late.
Recalls
of spinach, sprouts, peanut butter and cookie dough have got many people
wondering how safe the food is that we're buying.
As if that's not trouble enough, there's news about bottled water that
will give you a start.
You see unlike your local water utility, bottled water companies don't
have to have their water tested by a certified lab, and they aren't under
any obligation to notify customers if something's wrong.
In fact, the
water you pay for can actually be worse for you than what you can drink
for free at home.
Unsettling but true - two new reports find that the bottled water you're
paying for just isn't checked as thoroughly for safety as the water that's
coming out of your kitchen faucet.
Local water utilities are required to show public reports of water testing,
while bottled brands are not.
In 2008 Americans consumed double the amount
of bottled water - 8.6 billion gallons - than we did just ten years
ago.
We think of this type of water as pure, helped along by the repetition
of ads and images on the packaging, somehow this water seems safer, healthier,
and tastier and convenience is certainly a factor.
The two reports, one from the Government Accountability Office, the
second from nonprofit advocacy organization Environmental Working Group
(EQG) raise questions about the safety of bottled water.
EWG surveyed the labels and web sites of about 200 of the most popular
bottled water brands, but found less than 2% of the bottlers disclosed
three key facts that can affect safety - the water's source, the purification
methods used and the chemical pollutants in each bottle.
Some of the most popular (Whole Foods and San Pellegrino) brands were
remiss in stating where the water came from or how it was purified.
The waters you might not expect to be so forthcoming, Walgreens or Sam's
Club, were actually high scoring compared to the more well known brands.
"In so many cases we just don't have the information on what the
source actually is," said Jane Houlihan, senior vice president for
research of the Environmental Working Group. "Almost one-third of
bottled waters have no information on their label."
So if you love a cool, clear, refreshing drink of water - what should
you do?
Experts suggest that activated carbon water filters, Brita is a name
you know, are both safe and economical ways to enjoy your tap water while
also being sure it's clean.
Reverse osmosis filters are able to eliminate all impurities from water,
but can be pricey.
If you continue to enjoy your bottled water, look for details on those
labels - a source, purification methods, a phone number and remember
that this water should have no taste.

Bottled Water May Be No Better, Safer or Purer Than Tap Continued...
As for the FDA, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has been given little
authority to regulate the bottled waters according to a report to congress
that's just been released.
The agency does require water manufacturer's to test for contaminants and
other problems, but if the water fails, the public doesn't hear about it. This
could change if an amendment is made to legislation known as the Food Safety
Enhancement Act of 2009 that's making its way through Congress.
"We do monitor and inspect the bottled water, the same as we do food," points
out FDA spokeswoman Siobhan DeLancey in an interview with the New York Times. "I
don't think that they should think it's totally unregulated."
To your good health,
