So you thought that bottled water or a home filtration system would ensure that your family gets only the purest?
Consumers of Aquafina, Dasani, and other brands, please take note.These companies are not required and do not routinely test for the presence of pharmaceuticals in their product! The reality is that many bottlers of "naturally pure" water simply repackage tap water from public sources while marketing the "clear mountain stream" gimmick. Meanwhile, bottled water has become a multibillion dollar per year industry and sales are second only to carbonated beverages.

It is so crazy that a company can fasely advertise "fresh stream purified water" or whatever gimmick to get people to buy their water. Naturally, I would assume that these water bottles are safer than plain water from the tap. I was a little in shock when I read this post! I am definitely interested in reading the other posts now. I want to know if this water is dangerous and what I can do about it. ALSO, I'd like to see what the government or big companies are doing about it...or if they're even implementing change at all.
I had learned through the news previously on how bottled water tends to be tap water, just bottled. I remember reading the label on a bottle of Ozarka water. Being Ozarka water, I expected it to be from the Ozarks, I was wrong!It was actually bottled somewhere locally! It is crazy how advertisements can be so misleading.
Yeah, the amazing powers of marketing are definitely hard at work. I guess it's been a brilliant and lucrative advertising campaign for the bottlers who amass quite a profit annually.
That is very interesting and deceptive.
