Water Lingo…… There’s a difference between “filtered water” and “natural spring water”. Natural spring water is from an actual spring. You’ll find filtered water (which is really just filtered tap water) on the market for just as much as spring water,. Dasani and Aquafina are two “filtered water” products.

Healthy Doubts…… If you listen to ads about bottled water, you might think it’s the purest and healthiest drink on the planet! Between April 2008 and April 2009 only 6% of bottled water producers in Canada were inspected by health authorities. And what about tap water? Municipalities often test public water 24 hours a day and conduct thousands of sample tests for bacteria every day. Bottled water is less regulated and tested than your tap water. (Info provided by your Environment Club.)
