Water makes up more than two thirds  of human body weight; therefore drinking water should always be clean  and free of contaminants to ensure proper health. There are more than 3,000 brands of mineral water commercially  available worldwide. Most of the mineral water bottle manufacturers are  not processing and bottling water according to the standards set up by  the World Health Organization and the International Bottling Water  Association. The bottled water sales have increased over the past several years.  Bottled water must not contain any chemical additives and must be  calorie-free and sugar free. According to the study bottle water is just  as polluted as a tap water. <a href="http://www.coolhealthtips.com/bottled-water-toxic-for-you-and-the-planet.html/bottled-water" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.coolhealthtips.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Bottled-Water.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Image by : Theen ...Source : <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/theenmoy/6173488985/sizes/m/in/photostream/" target="_blank">flickr</a> There are some surprising secrets about your favorite bottled water. So think before you buy them. <ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol"> It tastes like a tap water In many taste tests tape water often comes close to or surpasses  bottled water in taste. According to researchers’ people prefer water  with medium mineralization, whether it came from a bottle or the  tape. In a recent research study people were asked to rate several types  of bottled and tape water. The findings indicate that people cannot  correctly identify bottled water on the basis of its taste.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol"> Bottled water is not always pure Bottled water isn’t necessarily pure. The environmental advocacy  group Natural Resources Defense council tested 103 brands of bottled  water and found that one third of the tested brands contained bacteria  or other chemicals. In 2011, California State university researchers found during a test that bottled water of some brands contain high levels of <a href="http://www.who.int/water_sanitation_health/dwq/hpc/en/index.html" target="_blank">heterotrophic-plate-count bacteria</a>, Coliform and Arsenic. These chemicals can harm your body.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol"> It may be a tape water About 25 percent of all bottled water comes from municipal water  sources. Some famous brands, for example, Coca-Cola’s Dasani and Pepsi’s  Aquafina are nothing but purified tap water with added minerals. Make  sure that the water you drink contain more than 250 ppm (parts per  million) of TDS (total dissolved solids).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol"> Plastic is a huge problem for the environment University of Louisville researchers estimate that 17 billion barrels  of oil is wasted to produce PET (polyethylene Terephthalate) water  bottles. 1.5 million tons of plastic are used to bottle water every  year. These plastic bottles are becoming a major environmental hazard. A  lot of energy is required to make plastic and the bottles also have to  be transported which produce more harmful emissions. To keep the environments clean always use a reusable and washable bottle.</li> </ol></blockquote>
