The first thing I learned when researching what is the healthiest bottled water was: drink tap water.
According to the Environmental Working Group's 2011 Bottled Water Scorecard, nine out of the ten best-selling brands of bottled water could not answer at least one of the following key questions:
Key Health Questions Regarding Bottled Water:
1. Where does the water come from?
2. Is it purified; and if so, how?
3. Have tests found any contaminants?
How is it possible that mega-popular brands like Aquafina and Dasani can't answer a simple question like where their water comes from? How can we be sold a product so essential for life -- and so intimately connected to our health -- like water and not be informed about these basic things? And why don't we care more?
