Well there are some interesting benefits of having Yahoo as your homepage. One is that you get to see the headlines of all sorts of strange news stories. This one struck me as interesting. Nasty Bottled Water
If you don't feel like reading the entire article, it basically says this. Some of the largest brands of bottled water, including Dasani and Aquafina, are nothing more than tap water. What's worse? Bottled water doesn't have to follow the same federal, state and local guidelines for quality and cleanliness, so some of them are actually worse.
A study was done that found some fun chemicals such as metals, plastics and the like. PLUS the plastic used to make water bottles (PET) requires crude oil to be manufactured, adding to the oil problems we've already got.
Solution? Drink tap water. If you're SO paranoid about what comes out, buy a filter for your tap. You'll save money AND be healthier.
