Bottled Water...not as safe as you may think



Many leading researchers have discovered that bottled water may not be as pure as you may think. They have tested 10 brands and have found such things as caffeine, and even the radioactive element strontium. Even though this may not be from the actual water, the chemicals are still the same as they would be. At 1900 times the cost, wouldn't you want to have something with a little more quality?
     The companies with the highest concentration of chlorine byproducts, known to cause cancer, were the Sam's choice bottled water from Wal-Mart and the Acadia brand from Giant's Food supermarkets. Many of the executives at Walmart were puzzled because they said that they had their water tested by another company and they issued that there was not anything wrong with the water that they wanted to sell; they are looking into it to try and fix the problem.
     Many people are worried about this, but the best way to prevent from getting contaminated water is to use a carbon filter.
