Blog #10 Myth: Bottled water is safer than tap water.

“Bottled water is safer than tap water”. Nowadays, there are people that are still thinking that public or tap water is more liable to bacteria and has less quality then bottlers water. The reason of why those people think that way is because they absolutely trust in bottler’s water company by seeing the safety advertisements in the bottled water  and by thinking that those companies has the equipment needed to purify the water. But, in the reality tap or public water is safer than bottler’s water. Because, bottlers water companies are regulated by the FDA which means that they don’t require the Annual water quality report, at difference of public water that is regulated by the EPA which does require it. It’s surprising how a lot of people spend a big quantity amount of money every week by buying bottle of water, when basically what they are doing is paying for the bottle and making those companies wealthier by drinking public water packed in a clear bottle because as I said those companies aren't require to have an annual check either to label the source of the water. Per example couple months ago my bottle water finished and I was so thirsty that I have no other option of drink the sink water and afterwards I found out that they taste were similar so I researched the difference between tap water and bottle water and the difference was that bottlers water companies makes the water tasty to make it different from the public water. However, what I learned is that in reality we should stop thinking that bottle water is better or safer than public water along of trust in those companies because their purpose is to make money without care about our health. In addition, I suggested that instead of being buying manufacture water and spend that much money every week, we should start drinking public water because at the end is more safe than those companies. And if there are any issues by trusting in public water, we can buy household filters that would do a better job than bottler’s water companies plus it will be cheaper than be paying for just for a plastic bottle.
