The narrative we are given about bottled water is that it is cleaner and crisper than tap water. We’re told that tap water is riddled with contaminants like hormones, pesticides, and harmful minerals. Yet some experts are saying that bottled water is no better than tap water and, in some cases, worse!

One example is Fiji Water, a popular brand of bottled water. Fiji Water was tested against the tap water provided to the citizens of Cleveland, Ohio, USA in 57 different samples.

Bottom line, monitor the water you ingest, bottled or not, and be sure it is thoroughly filtered. For a full article on this topic, click here:: Tap water is ‘better for you than bottled water’
