What's In Those Water Bottles

They have finally come out and admitted that in those pristine sounding and looking Aquafina, Dasani and Pure Life water bottles is nothing more than purified tap water. Pepsico, Coca-Cola and Nestle are not the only culprits. The fact is that 25% of bottled water sold comes from public sources. In a country that has the safest tap water; it makes no sense to spend money on what one can get for free from the kitchen faucet. Further more, the costs to the environment for producing the bottles, the purifying process and the transportation, in addition to the billions of plastic bottles polluting our planet, should give one pause before their next purchase.
