Bottled Water VS Tap Water

If you've ever wondered whether or not bottled water really is better than tap water the verdict is out. After a two year study the Environmental Working Group found that bottled water contains many of the same impurities that regular tap water does. Not to say bottled water isn't safe to drink, but many companies lead you to believe that their product is the purest of pure when it might as well have come from your kitchen sink. On average a bottle of water contains about 8 different pollutants that range anywhere from trace amounts of medication to chemicals used in the plastics industry. So next time you grab a bottle of water at the gas station think twice and save yourself a buck and a half, it may pay off at a time when the nation's economy is in crisis.
