Is Bottled Water Absolutely Clean?

The news recently announced that drinking bottled water isn't as good for you as initially thought, because there were additives to the water, and that there aren't other things, such as some of the essential vitamins and minerals that you need in the the water for it to be healthy.

Basically, what they said was that tap water is healthier for you if you want to benefit from drinking water, and by all means use a water filtration system to better clarify the water. Hope this helps.

It's not unknown for a company to come out and recall their bottled water after a trace of contamination has been found, however bottled water is a lot safer than city tap water. City tap water has to be disinfected and tested for all sorts of bacteria. After disinfection it's then filtered heavily to remove pathogens.

So in short, most bottled water is in fact pure and virtually clean to the best possible standard and in most cases you will find that bottled water is of a better quality than most tap water sources.

Saying all this, i still drink tap water over bottled water and it hasn't done me any bad, that I know of :)

In Canada, unlike foods & most drinks, bottled water is not regulated by the federal government. Tap water is controlled and monitored by the local government. Hence there is risk drinking bottled water.

Leaving plastic bottled water in the sun is a health risk. Not advised.

There is some noise about the plastic that bottles are packaged in containing something bad for you. I'm sure everything can be bad for you one way or another.
