What EXACTLY is in your water bottle? More than you bargained for
Is there anything more refreshing than a sip of cool… clean… crystal-clear water?
You know how important it is to stay hydrated. Drinking plenty of water can FLUSH out toxins… and help keep your skin youthful and glowing.
Problem is, corporate fat cats can never leave well enough alone…
And as the bottled water industry becomes BIGGER THAN EVER… and the competition for market share HEATS UP…
It’s become OBVIOUS that certain execs will stop at NOTHING to cash in.
Even if that means POISONING the well.
Do you know what’s REALLY in your favorite bottle of water? HINT: It might not just be plain ol’ H2O.
Under scrutiny
First of all, getting regular folks… especially seniors… to drink water instead of sugar-laden juices or sodas is a very good thing.
At least, in theory.
But what happens when one of the biggest players in Big Soda gets into the bottled water game?
Well, in the case of Coca-Cola’s Dasani Water brand, you get a hodge-podge of ingredients that are about as scary as Frankenstein’s monster.
Sure, the “main” ingredient is water – though it’s nothing more than tap water with the minerals, chlorine, and fluoride taken out (a.k.a. “purified”).
But they don’t stop there.
If you look at the label, you’ll see that “pure,” unflavored Dasani Water ALSO contains the chemical additives magnesium sulfate and potassium chloride.
What the label DOESN’T tell you is that BOTH of these ingredients have been associated with birth defects.
Even if your childbearing days are FAR behind you, you should know that magnesium sulfate – a.k.a. Epsom salt – is used for industrial purposes as a DRYING agent.
So much for hydration!
And potassium chloride – a.k.a. the farm fertilizer “Muriate of potash” – is a heart-stopping ingredient in lethal injections.
What’s this stuff doing in the water YOU could be drinking?
It’s SUPPOSED to give it a “pure, crisp, invigorating taste.”
But isn’t that what makes water… WATER?!
Dasani isn’t the only water brand to bottle and sell tap water… with a few extra ingredients THROWN in.
Coca-Cola’s main competitor, PepsiCo, also packages purified tap water for its Aquafina brand.
And like tap water, some of the water that comes in bottles contains ADDED FLUORIDE!
For instance, one of Nestlé’s water brands, Arrowhead Mountain Spring Water, offers a fluoridated option. You’ve got to check the label to know for sure whether you’re getting this known neurotoxin as a special added bonus.
Maybe they should stick to candy bars!
And finally, a shocking 2018 report revealed that both Dasani and Aquafina… and other bottled water brands, too… contain tiny bits of plastic (a.k.a. microplastic).
Not just a little – but TWICE as much as tap water.
Fortunately, there are ways to get the ENERGIZING and DETOXIFYING benefits of water… without RESORTING to the tap.
When choosing bottled water, look for one that comes from a pure source… like natural springs. That means it’ll provide a balanced content of minerals as they’re found in nature… with ZERO additives.
Even better, choose one that’s bottled in glass instead of plastic.
One option is Mountain Valley Spring Water, which has been bottling water from America’s heartland in hand-blown glass bottles since 1871.
To not messing with nature,
