According to research bottled water is the No.1 beverage product in the US. This is because most of us think that bottled water is a safer option than tap water.
But this could not be further from the truth. A new report out of the State University of New York (SUNY) states that popular water bottle brands are contaminated with cancer causing microscopic plastic particles. It’s believed that the particles enter the bottle during the packaging process.
Researchers tested 250 bottles of water worldwide and discovered that 93 % of all the water bottles tested contained plastic particles. Long-term dangers of human exposure to these particles are linked to cancer, ADHD, autism and even lower sperm count.
Additionally, laboratory testings done by Environmental Working Group discovered popular water brands to contain 38 different pollutants, including bacteria, fertilizer, Tylenol and industrial chemicals.
HERE ARE THE BRANDS INCLUDED IN THE STUDY:
- Aqua (Danone)
- Aquafina (PepsiCo)
- Dasani (Coca-Cola)
- Epura (PepsiCo)
- Evian (Danone)
- Nestlé Pure Life (Nestlé)
- San Pellegrino (Nestlé)
STAY AWAY FROM CERTAIN WATER BOTTLE BRANDS
Unfortunately, most bottled waters can cause a lot of health problems as they contain BPA.
Bisphenol-A (BPA), a chemical component found in water bottles reduces insulin sensitivity and speeds up the formation of fat cells in animal studies by 1,300%.
A recent study from Harvard School of Public Health and published in the journal Environmental Health found that commonly-found toxins in plastics ( such as bottle water) are linked to obesity.
BOTTLED WATER CAN CAUSE HORMONAL IMBALANCE
Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC’s) cause serious health issues because they mimic estrogen among other hormones. Endocrine disruptors mimic natural hormones in the body like estrogens, androgens, and thyroid hormones, potentially creating overstimulation thus throwing off the body’s hormonal balance and causing breast cancer.
