Healthy Habits - Fitness and Weightloss

I came across this article today in the newsletter I receive from the Worldwatch Institute.

(very interesting publication worth signing up for)

It outlines some surprising issues with bottled water that you may not have been aware of.

Personally, I filter my tap water. My biggest health concern is the leaching of plastic into the water from the bottle. It is a documented occurence.  I don’t let water sit for long periods of time in my own water bottle either.

I sometimes find it ironic how used to not having access to clean water that we have become.  I am old enough to remember the days that we used to scoff at the idea of buying water. We used to drink out of the creeks in our neighbourhood on our childhood adventures - we didn’t carry water bottles.  Wouldn’t do that today! (and no, I’m not 100 :0)
