Where does the water come from?
Is it purified? How?
Have tests found any contaminants?
According to an extensive study conducted by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) , 9/10 of the best-selling water brands including Pepsi’s Aquafina, Coca-Cola’s Dasani, Crystal Geyser, and 6 of 7 Nestle brands, don’t answer any those questions.
Many bottled water companies simply refuse to disclose information regarding their “pure” product. Another study performed by the EWG showed that of the 173 brands tested:
- 18% fail to disclose the location of their water source
- 32% say nothing about the treatment or purity of the water
- Over 50% flunked EWG’s transparency test
