Bottled
water was such a great invention. It's so convenient, you can purchase it
almost anywhere and it's handy to carry around. But what is really in the
bottle you're drinking out of? Bottled water is regulated by the FDA (Food and
Drug Administration), whereas tap is regulated by the EPA (Environmental
Protection Agency). The Safe Drinking Water Act give EPA the right to test
requires testing by certified labs. If the lab finds any violations or
contaminants they find the source and fix the problem. In comparison, the FDA
regulates Bottled Water the same way they regulate food, therefore they cannot
require lab testing of the water. Bottled Water companies who claim to be
purified water could honestly be putting anything into pretty bottles. It is a
common misconception that bottled water is better than tap water. Besides tap
water contains Fluoride, which is good for our teeth! It helps to fight against
cavities, because more people are drinking Bottled Water there is an epidemic
of more cavities occurring. Drinking tap water is also better of the
environment think about all the plastic bottles you use in a week? A year? By
switching to tap water not only is it better for us it's saving the environment
and our teeth!
