Bottled water costs 2,000 times more than tap water, but is it worth the extra price tag? The answer may surprise you. The Environmental Working Group recently released a report that found "38 different contaminants in 10 brands of bottled drinking water, including bacteria, acetaminophen, fertilizers, solvents, plastic-making chemicals, and the radioactive element strontium."
Skip the bottled water and get a filter for your tap. Besides, 40% of all bottled water is actually tap water! A water filter is key for tap water, as recent studies have found pharmaceuticals (antibiotics, sex hormones and antidepressants) in the water of 24 major US cities. To remove heavy metals, drugs, and other chemicals from your water, look into getting a reverse-osmosis or nanofiltration system.
