Ask Plenty: Is bottled water healthier or safer than tap?
q. i know bottled water is an environmental no-no because it generates plastic and because energy is required to set sail it around, but is it any healthier? i feel systemize of penitent about it, but i do want to make sure i’m not drinking a cluster of chemicals. –wallace, north dakota
A. There’s really no reason to think bottled water is healthier or more pure than tap. In fact, recent testing suggests that bottled water is, in the case of some brands, just tap water poured into plastic. Beverage companies aren’t required to disclose the origins of their water, or the results of any in-house testing they do for contaminants (except in California). That means that they can pretty much fill those resource-and-energy-hogging plastic bottles with any old H20, slap a picture of a mountain on it, and charge you an arm and a leg viagra ohne rezept for it. The Environmental Working Group just tested ten brands of bottled water and found everything from arsenic to chlorine to fertilizer residue in them. Some brands were completely indistinguishable from municipal supplies, and contained byproducts of the disinfectants used in tap water. Funny thing, that.
The bottled water industry, not surprisingly, contends that a study of ten brands is not big enough to represent the market as a whole, but the fact is that there’s no law preventing companies from bottling ordinary tap water and selling it as something more special. Your tap water may be just as good as bottled water—and it’s literally 1,900 times cheaper on average. If you want to make sure you’re drinking the purest water possible, you’re better off investing in one of the dozens of kinds of filters on the market. And yeah, we know, sometimes you’re away from home, you’re thirsty, you forgot your trusty reusable bottle, and you find public drinking fountains more reprehensible than the thought of increasing your carbon footprint a smidgen. Sometimes it does make sense to go for that bottle of water. We won’t tell. No need for massive guilt trips. Just keep in mind that you’re only paying for convenience, not for exceptional purity of the water.

[...] darren aronofsky talks “robocop” again. not saying anything really new, he says it’ll be a “real reinvention.” “me and david self are working on the screenplay. he’s a heinous, great writer and we’re trying to do something further and fresh. we’ll decide what happens when the screenplay comes.” would peter weller disclose a cameo? he remained unspecified. “i’m a consequential buff of the firsthand. it pacific holds up as an amazing film, and i think it’s more legitimate looking at that same type of papers in the 21st century and seeing where it leads us.” [empire]brandon routh talks the next “superman” movie, but he still doesn’t grasp much other than what we already know: warner bros. is still interested in him. he isn’t neccesarily all appropriate for the “darker” superman. “i don’t dream the character necessarily has to be darker, i think he is amiable of dark in a sense, tense dark, in ’superman returns,’ and the cinema as a whole was slightly doleful, they could clothed had more skilfulness in it i take for granted, and i judge devise that’s one thing that can be done in the sequel, so i don’t know how much darker you want to type it necessarily. there are all kind of dark places to explore. but, i don’t think superman should ever be villainous and brooding, that’s not is nature. and that’s now what people what to see.” [iesb]“fanboys” has a untrained poster. this film bequeath appeal to super-dorks and no one else. the placard could easily be dismissed as some sort of comic-convention rather than an actual movie. they might want to start d promulgate some of those judd-apatow-consanguineous stars (jay baruchel, kristen bell) on the next style since it already seems to be apeing, “the 40 year proficient virgin.”the announcement for “seven pounds” has been released. it basically screams (or says politely): “hello, i’m order smith and this time in a dour post. you might remember me from “hancock,” but you may scarceness to seriously consideration me for an oscar for my impressive portrayal of the human brainwash in this movie, thanks you.” pretty much strain that. it’s as dry as the sahara.”wendy & lucy” gets an r-rating. it’s not cast its effective to hurt the films chances or anything, but we’re hard pressed to remember any substantial reason why the blur received an r other than it might contain an f-bombshell or two. god, are we such puritans? it’s such a minimal story with zero violence and hell, arguably, zero going on.
