Video Exposes the REAL Truth about Bottled Water

BROOKLYN, N.Y. - March 20, 2014 - PRLog -- Those who are against buying bottled water argue that bottled water is a waste of money and negatively impacts the environment. Proponents of this viewpoint seek to ban the sale of bottled water and insist that drinking tap water is just as safe, if not better than bottled water.

Those on the opposite side of the fence say that bottled water is becoming more of a necessity with the increasing presence of pollutants in well and tap water. Proponents of this viewpoint cite the growing number of unregulated contaminants found in water supplies, such as pharmaceuticals, as more than enough cause for opting for a filtered and purified bottle of water.

So who is right? With all of the information circulating around the web, it can be hard to know who to trust.

A new video released by Culligan Bottled Water seeks to dispel the myths once and for all, and get to the facts about bottled water safety and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations. In the video, Culligan Bottled Water dispels the following 5 myths about the bottled water industry:

Myth 1:  Bottled water isn’t as regulated as tap water and manufacturers have few, if any guidelines to follow.

Myth 2:  The FDA has no authority over bottled water that doesn’t cross state lines.

Myth 3:  Purified bottled water is nothing more than tap water poured into a bottle and sold at markup.

Myth 4:  Bottled water companies can put whatever they want on a water bottle label.

Myth 5:  Plastic water bottles are a leading cause of environmental pollution.

All of the bottled water facts that appear in the video are supported by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), or the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA).
