Yet Another Source Concerning the Lack of Purity in Bottled Water
In "Business in a Bottle" the San Diego Union-Tribune comes to the same conclusions so many have in the past.
An examination by the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) in 1999 found that bottled water is not necessarily cleaner or safer than tap water.
Eric Olson of the NRDC complained that bottled water labels don't give consumers enough information to make informed choices. "For most water, you'd be hard pressed to tell where that water comes from because there is no labeling," he said.
As I have often said, if any of the major brands of bottle water disclosed just where the water was sourced, consumers would be shocked.
