In a recent study by German researchers, nearly 25,000 chemicals were found lurking in a single bottle of water. Many of these chemicals mimic the effects of potent pharmaceuticals inside your body, according to the study published in the journal PLoS (http://www.disclose.tv/url/Tm9DaGFuY2VBbm9ueW1vdXNodHRwOi8vd3d3LnBsb3Mub3Jn) One.

The study was broken into two parts. For the initial portion, the researchers tested 18 samples of various commercially sold water bottles from around the globe. Through chemical analyses, they tested the water to determine if it interfered with the body's estrogen and androgen receptors. Tap water was tested as well, for comparison. The researchers were shocked to learn that most of the bottled waters revealed interference with both kinds of hormone receptors; amounts as little as 0.1 ounces inhibited estrogenic activity by 60 percent and androgenic activity by 90 percent. The tap water, on the other hand, showed no activity on either form of receptor.

During the second part of the study, the scientists sought to pinpoint which chemicals were the cause of reproductive hormonal interferences. Using other forms of detection to isolate the various chemicals, the researchers found more than 24,500 different chemicals in the bottled waters – including two classes of chemicals, maleates and fumarates, which are known potent endocrine disruptors (hormonally active chemicals). Maleates and fumarates are utilized to manufacture plastic resins, which are used to make water bottles, and they may also appear as contaminants of other plastic chemicals.

I rarely buy the stuff. I drink filtered water at work and tap water at home. When I see people filling their used plastic water bottles with filtered water I always warn them about the chemicals in the plastic. :nono:

I don't often drink water, but when I do I drink it straight from the tap.


Stay thirsty my friend.

Some places have decent tap water. Chicago for one.

We have well water. It's very hard (rocks in my shower head) and our clothes get trashed for the most part washing them at home but I'm ok with it. It's clean and bacteria free for the most part. We don't drink it from the tap though, just a general practice but we could.

When I'm in the city I can tell the difference just standing at a sink with water running. It smells like a swimming pool.

I don't go near it then.

As a rule I dont buy bottled water there have been too many cases of it being worse than my well water.

Humans should not have to pay for water anyway
