Press Release Summary:
While it may seem unusual, bottled water is actually considered to be a food; this
means that it is regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration (USDA), not the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In addition to USDA standards, some states
have their own additional criteria that must be met before bottled water can be sold
in that state.


Press Release Body: People don\'t tend to think about where bottled water comes from,
or the complications of the bottling process. The first concern is with its safety,
taste and cost. Many consumers don\'t realize that bottled water is marketed and sold
in various categories based on the source of the water and how it is treated. This
explains why your grocery store carries water with some combination of the following
labels attached: artesian, flouridated, ground, mineral, purified, sparkling,
spring, sterile and well water.
If the bottled water is sold with anything extra added, such as minerals, chemicals,
or flavoring, these ingredients must appear on the label. Whether or not these
various ingredients are added by the bottler or are present thanks to Mother Nature
(sodium, radon, sulfates), they must meet allowable levels as outlined by the FDA or
state regulations (if applicable).
Many consumers regard bottled water as less healthy than distilled water, despite
the filtration methods used in the bottling process. This mindset stems from the
simple fact that filtration cannot remove all the impurities present in water; only
distillation has the capability to produce perfectly pure water.
Filters may clog or be poorly cleaned and maintained. This means the filter can
become a breeding ground for bacteria, creating water more contaminated than the
source water. Charcoal filters improve the taste and water odor, but ultimately do
little more than disguise the fact that the drinking water is contaminated. Just
because water looks fine, smells fine and tastes fine, does not always mean that it
is fine.
Reverse osmosis systems also rely on charcoal activated filters , which don\'t remove
pollutants and contaminants that can only be removed by the distillation process.
During distillation, tap water is heated in a stainless steel vaporizing chamber
until it becomes sterilized steam. The pure steam vapor is condensed back to its
original state but without the chemicals, toxins and pollutants. No other process of
water filtration is as effective.
