Bottled Water Labels Do Not Disclose Truth About Contents

GAO Report on Bottled Water
It is finally official, according to the Government Accountability Office and the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit research and advocacy organization, bottled water labels mis-represent the truth about the water in the bottles. According to the latest GAO report, “Bottled Water: FDA Safety and Consumer Protections Are Often Less Stringent Than Comparable EPA Protections for Tap Water,” released on July 8, 2009
“…consumers had misconceptions about bottled water, many replied that consumers often believe that bottled water is safer or healthier than tap water.”
Additionally the environmental impact of the study is hard hitting. According to the report, the GAO stated the following:
“…we found that about three-quarters of the water bottles produced in the United States in 2006 were discarded and not recycled…”
Therefore not only can the water in the bottles be unsafe, but the environmental impact is devastating. This study compared the contents of the water bottles and regular tap water, finding that some of the so called “great tasting pure water” is nothing more than unsanitary water.
Why not chose G Force Stainless Steel Water Bottles and fill them with clean water rather than spend more money on an alternative that is unhealthy and damaging to the environment. Make the choice to switch. Isn’t your health and the envrionment worth it?
