Bottled Water - Not so pure

EWG (Environmental Working Group) posted the results of an investigation into bottled water where they found cancer-causing contaminants and fertilizer residue among other things in the bottled water. Unlike with tap water where the water company is required to release the results of testing on the water regularly, bottled water companies do not have to release any information about the testing of their water.

A safer alternative would be filtered, unfluoridated tap water. Read it for yourself and check out EWG's Guide to Safe Drinking Water! You can get reusable bottles to keep your filtered tap water in here and they are NOT plastic!! (Which is awesome...more on that later...)
