Is bottled water good for you and planet? How to keep bottled water bacteria free . Anna says; Yes to the first and no to second. Bottled water is certainly better than industrially produced, chemically fortified city tap water. Inferior grade industrial by products such as Fluorides and chlorides are lobbied to be added to our water to support industries, while the logic is twisted conveniently to make it look that consumption of such water can help us improve our health or prevent diseases. But note that industrial production of bottled water is damaging the planet. It is reported that waterbeds providing such waters are declining and irreversible environmental damage is being done by overconsumption and earth alterations to reach these sources of water. Multi billion $ companies have resorted to industrial means of production using old labels that promise natural spring water. Read labels carefully. These are mostly distilled or 'purified waters' sold to look asif they are spring water. For bacteria free consumption, we must keep spring waters refridgrated after opening. |
