It’s not limited to just water, sorry folks but it’s literally in every single thing you buy whether you eat it or not.
INDEED! TOUCHE!
True‼️contaminated in one way or another💦
I believe it. Some people keep a Dirty House.
these kids probably have their faces pressed against a pillow/sheets at night that are made of some kind of plastic and or are relaxing in a chair, couch or what have you, that has a fabric made of some kind of synthetic mat...how honest was CBC with these kids
Tell 'em!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you stop buying, they will stop trying to sell it. It's always up to the people.
100%. It's consumer's choice according to demand. For instance, the less meat by products and dairy that consumers buy, determines the life of animals
Theres a lot of people out there that don't care . They need to be flogged.

People don’t understand that there is plastic in everything we consume
In the 80’s, bottled water was something new. I visited a soft drink bottling plant in PA that was converting to bottling water. They said it was going to be a big thing. I was skeptical. They told me that all the cost was in the packaging (the bottle), marketing, and shipping/handling. The product inside came from regular water from the tap. The tap water came from wells and could legally be called spring water. It was essentially free. So the profit margins were very high.
Putting Chlorine in tap should be ban. Chlorine is the big reason people don't drink tap water
Only in a couple of US states, it doesn't work like that anywhere else, so just buy proper water from Europe where they have legal standards.
And no-one has ever said there will be more plastic than fish before this guy said it right here.
Incorrect. Spring water has to actually come from a spring. BUT: any water from 'the tap', which is leqal, must be labeled PWS. That is Public Water Source. If you buy PWS bottled water, you do not pass Go and do not collect 200 dollars.
Well water qualifies as spring water. It comes from an underground aquifer and other than the cost of sinking the well and well pump, it comes right out of the tap at the water plant. Better brands further purify the well/spring water before bottling, which removes contaminants and many beneficial minerals. 45% of all bottled water is pure tap water, from the Public Water Source.
@@tomf429 So, in your opinion, which are "better" public brands?
You should also test tap water as well in those major cities.
agree, local tap water should have been the control. instead they used "ultra-pure water", which still had up to 150 particles in a bottle.
Canada has very good water treatment the problem you may encounter with tap water would be from the pipes .
Yeah
Dany Jay That's what I was thinking.
toronto water has "certified" independent companies that test the water, yet they receive government funding as their primary source of income.
so in other words, toronto water, tests Toronto water.
would you say your own product is bad lol
crown corporation lives on, and strong.
:/
Testing just for plastic? What about heavy metals, toxic chemicals, hormones, microbes or parasites?
I would assume that they did test for those things you listed. However, im sure they found none so they were not mentioned.
You think bottled water contains heavy metals, along with toxic chemicals?
Really?
Great point 👌🏽
@@danielyoung2027 u6u I have been up
Tomken8d2 🤮
They wouldn't sell bottled water with chemicals and heavy metals cause it would be deemed unsafe for consumption
I honestly was expecting more from this video. I was hoping for some chemical testing; bottled water vs tap. I feel like this video is talking more about what we are doing to the environment then our own bodies.
It's CBC dude, they have to push an agenda and they don't want to rock the boat. The same government that funds the CBC is also the leading killer of Canadian citizens so don't expect to learn too much about negative health effects.
Thx. I won’t watch the vid now. Appreciate your comment 👍
Oh dang I was hopping for health effects too
UM .... AHHH .. WELL ..YOU DO UNDERSTAND THAT THE PEOPLE THAT FUND THESE KIND OF THINGS WANT TO GET TO ZERO CARBON AND YOU DO REALIZE THAT HUMANS ARE CARBON BASED LIFE FORMS ? YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM SAYING ? THEY FEEL THAT THE ENVIROMENT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN 98 % OF THE WORLDS POPULATION . . IN OTHER WORDS WE (YOU AND I ) AND EVERYONE ELSE ARE SEEN AS VERMIN THAT NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM EXSISTENCE SO THAT THOSE POWERFUL FEW CAN ENJOY THE WORLD AND ALL OF ITS SPLENDOR WITHOUT US BREATHING THEIR AIR AND WASTING THEIR RESOURCES .
They mention micro plastics in the water we drink but they don't really dive into the risks that they pose on our bodies like affecting testosterone production
Firstly, the bottle is shaped by heating the water very hot and using high pressure to use the drinking water to form the bottle itself. This, no doubt, releases plastic residue into the drinking water.
The bottling companies should be funding the clean up effort
1st the revenue stream developed by a company serving society pays more taxes than you or I by a factor of 10,000 and that is because they solved a societal problem, 2nd don't hasteful in placing blame so that you and I can pay for it through higher pricing and taxes. This is an inconclusive assessment with no verifiable proof of damage to us and you want to react without evidence based on a theory built on fear of suspicion.
You know, anthropogenic global warming is also a theory and the evidence continues to prove the theory wrong, short term..
Just so that you know, 99.99% of all "scientifically" published theories are proven wrong over time and the scrutiny of science (science rarely proves facts and mostly disproves theories). Do you really want government to deploy policies based on a theory that has only 1 in 10,000 of a chance of being true?
All problems must 1st be identified and then defined before a solution can be considered. Plastic solved many of our problems since its development in the 1940's but there has been some collateral damage as is the case with all inventions that solve a problem. Plastic in our water and extra CO2 in our atmosphere have not caused a health or economic problem to us, yet, but some animals have died from ingesting large amounts of colored plastic and upsets the ecosystem which will eventually affect us but to what level of intensity is speculative.
Finally, if we take your mind set to fruition then all inventions are bad as they cause collateral damage and we should cease to progress. That would certainly reduce the human population and we can revert to many different problems we mitigated over the last several 1000 years. so be careful how you lend your power to your government as it may be penny wise and pound foolish in the end

Evian is naive spelled backwards.
Damn, you have ruined our joke against English speakers.
You are only the 2nd one I know who knows this.
Évian (/ˈeɪviɒn/ AY-vee-on; French pronunciation: [evjɑ̃]; stylized as evian), is a brand of mineral water coming from several sources near Évian-les-Bains, on the south shore of Lake Geneva.
@@philipward7846
But the sound "É" doesn't exist in English. I am French...
Actually, the right pronunciation is "É" and even the French sound "an" at the end of Évian doesn't exist in English. So I think many French people would not understand anything. But after all, you can pronounce it the way you want :)
😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲
As someone who has always drank tap or fridge-filtered water only, I’m always shocked by how plasticy bottled water tastes. I guess the bottled water regulars don’t even notice it, but I sure do!
My HEEEEROOOOOO
It comes from a plastic hose near the grease rack at Bubba’s Gas Station ⛽️
From a worker that had pretty much every bottled water u can think of. Yeah it all tastes bad. I'm all about filtered or spring water now. Better taste. I think Dasani taste the best or Poland spring. But I really only use zero water filter water now. I have a well and it makes me feel like I'm getting better water this way.
@@dmo848 Dasani dries out my mouth into what I call cotton mouth. I bought some for our dogs when we went to the park. As thirsty as they got they wouldn't touch the Dasani. I had to pour it out and get water from the fountain. They would drink that.
As a child, I preferred my water from a garden hose. CBC should do a show on the purity of rubber hose water. SMH
This is less about bottled water than it is about water itself. Microplastics are everywhere and part of the reason is all of the plastic bottles we use for water but even without bottled water we would have microplastics everywhere, including our water. There is a difference between spring water and filtered or "purified (tap)" water. When I open the kitchen tap I can smell a stronger bleach odor than the water in the swimming pool when the pool chemicals are at the right levels. I tested kitchen tap water with the swimming pool water test kit & the total chlorine content was at the perfect level for the pool. The free chlorine content was also at the perfect level for the pool. The PH and the alkalinity were both close to the right amount for swimming pool water.
I remember drinking water out of the water hose and I grew up fine.This was in the 60s.
So did we, but then there wasn't much plastics in use!
Jeff Hickey me also 😊🇦🇺
Back when we were not 7.8 billion people because you guys told the world to reproduce themselves just for the sake of it lol.
Teddy Scoop not all hoses have lead in them but most do
Good ol days drinking from the hoses and playing outside, from around 94 to 2006. I'm fine as well. N all my friends n family
My home in Kenya where i live we save rain water for drinking but before drinking we boil it......and its very refreshing esp when you are thirsty 👌🏽
But the rain you get is from clouds built from vapourised moistures obtained from plasticed lakes rivers oceans, and micro paint particles scrapped from passing aeroplanes
Thank you for sharing. US is just about at this point. Hopefully we do not put any radiation into our atmosphere where even this wouldn't be possible.

As a medical student, I never ever drink any drinks from plastic bottles, only water from kitchen or fountain. Just carry water bottle with me everywhere. I started doing this when I studied biochemistry in the 2nd year of medical school.
JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE A MEDICAL STUDENT SOON TO BE A TOOL FOR WHO EVER WILL PAY DOES NOT MAKE YOU IMMUNE FROM THE FLOURIDE AND OTHER ESTREGEN ENRICHED CHEMICALS THAT ARE IN ALL WATER
Plastic water mains, or PVC, is the main choice in municipal water distribution systems.
Pex pipe, ( plastic ) is the new standard for commercial and residential plumbing..
I highly recommend getting a counter top water distiller. I've been very happy with mine, and no plastic, heavy cases of water to haul around.
Sharon that is the only way. You don't need to know what to filter for because everything is Left Behind and you only have your distilled water. Your minerals you get from your fruits vegetables and other Foods you don't need Rock dissolved rock that is as minerals in your water it only deposits and calcifies in your arteries as you age.
I distill all my water for drinking and cooking in the city as well as in my Countryside property I distill all my well water
Would have been nice to have domestic tap water tested from each location as well.
Tap water only has to meet a low criteria to pass. The demand for water is so high they can’t take the time to process it correctly!! Scary!🤦🏻♂️💀
@@ludicrous7044 Then your government is to blame. They should put in the necessary effort to provide save, high-quality tap water. If they don't have the resources, the government needs to invest in that area.
These companies should be held responsible for actual recycling and ongoing pollution. This is as bad a dumping a mattress in the bush.
Look up ocean waste by country and then tell me if you think the American system of waste handling is ineffective, or even relevant to fixing the problem right now.
Also, where do you imagine waste polluting our environment is coming from? I think there are only a couple possibilities:
#1: Some people do not throw trash into any bin, and instead litter. This is not a problem fixed by recycling.
Let's look at waste that does end up in bins, then.
#2: Trash blows out from bins with the wind or while bags are handled, recycling and landfill alike. This again is not fixed by recycling.
Recycling fixes resource consumption, but in a lot of cases produces much more carbon emissions than just throwing waste in a landfill. Other than that it doesn't fix anything.
@@craigape u forgot to ad a solution since you have all the answers captian planet
@@johnkalin1656 I know this is old, but I got a notification of your reply. Since you asked:
Start with your local government. Contact your Governor or congressmen and show them the statistics, they may not be aware either. Plead with them to start international pressure on changing these numbers. They are in position to work out more specifics from there. And share that knowledge with everyone in your circle. They may do the same. Before long our international frustration at the lack of action may be lucrative enough of a platform for a politician or company to try to profit from it while championing an actual environmental cause.
That's my two cents, since you asked.
You mean blame the people buying/using the product. Back to tap water? Ya, right.
I agree with you!
I think that kid who said "we could remake [bottles] into reusable stuff" meant turning plastic waste into reusable plastic products, as opposed to just making another single use plastic product.
Kids are smarter than we give them credit for
Thank you Market Place for telling the truth. ~ from U.S.A.
"EVIAN" is simply "naive" spelled backwards.

😂
@@cynthiasatterfield8333 lol I tried it once, it tasted weird. Never tried it again and now I know why 😂
NICE!
Holy shiii...
There is one test missing! Tap water! I would love to know what's in the water I drink, cook and bath with! Probably a more important question right?
my guess is that it would contain more of these things, since the bottled water companies do filter the water from local source. so the best thing we can do at the present is to buy a water filter for drinking water. lol. also, normally the filters filter out the fluoride from tap water (which sort of disinfect the water), so don't drink a filtered water that's been seating there for 2days and exposed to air. the filter is a moist environment so there is risk of bacteria growth, therefore change it often and keep out of warm places. YES, it is complicated to get some safe drinking water! 😅
An issue they'd have with that is that the water sources and filtration is not standardized and is different in depending on the jurisdiction in Canada.
@@myboredomwidens And perhaps start boiling our water prior to drinking it.
@@SWANYAWN boiling wont get rid of microplastics or heavy metals, I reccomend a good filtration system like an ozmosis system or even at the least a brita filter I have one in my fridge with a tap on it and it is great and made my water which tasted bad actual taste good
Forsure
A whole house filter system got rid of the need for bottled water. As a bonus we also get to bathe and do our washing and cleaning with pure water.
Yes, you have to change filters and UV bulbs and it costs couple grand to setup, but we prefer it.
Everyone should watch Marketplace! It's so thorough and it's made specifically to keep us safe as consumers

It is interesting to see how bottle watered was initially for the snobby well-to-do people when it first came out like Evian and Perrier, because no one liked bottle watered and that image of being snooty. People laughed at it because water was so abundant and plentiful in the tap.
Now it is all about convenience & so-called healthy.

bottled water companies don't make water, they make bottles

Most of it is from the tap lol
True bottle water companies don’t make the water, the point they are trying to get you to realize is what is in the water that goes into the bottles these companies are making? Plastics from the bottles that lazy people throw into the oceans, lakes and rivers is coming back into the bottled water 🇺🇸

Many countries in Europe have shops specializing in the sale of beverages who will drop off bottled water by the case (Usually 20 bottles). All bottles are made of glass and are put back into the case, which is picked up again when ordering a new case, closing the loop for recycling. Could it be that plastic industries elsewhere in the world have a problem with this???
Here in central Texas we used to have tap water tasting contests. They stopped holding it at the county civic center after they added flouride to the water 20 years ago.

In my hometown Senneterre quebec they sell the tap water on the name of Echo Glacier,we all drink it and its very good.

Tap water gets tested every single day and we get warn if there is a problem through T.V. and radio. Even our lakes gets to be tested... The very popular ones anyway.
Yeah, Christiane. - except they kept referring to tap water as the preferred alternative - so there should have been a comparison or baseline. Also, I think tap water is tested for e.coli, mercury, etc, not for plastics ...
Well I wouldn't be surprise that they also look for plastic because it's such a big problem.
Now test for pH-improvers in tap water

How could you possibly do this large of a production without also testing the plastics in public water supply from the respective cities? The question of if bottled is cleaner then tap water wasn't answered.
Shane yeah,quite pointless.
No answer, just a statement...it seems
Propaganda it's all a lie. The continent-sized piles of trash in the ocean are just an illusion.
I realized that too I guess they didn't want to damage the bottled water people if results show tap water had similar purity but without the costs.
Tap water quality is likely going to be different everywhere, so even if they compared bottled water with her tap water, the results might not even represent the majority of viewers.
c l, it's not an illusion. It really is a major problem. But at this point, it's almost too late to do anything about. Won't stop me from trying my best, though.
My local Primark turns plastics into clothing, so textiles could be a way forward, as part of the solution.

Best water is Reverse Osmosis filter. Is sold at costco for home. You may get one for your whole home. Is worth it. The only thing is that it removes all minerals. But you can add it to your water. Just add a pinch of Himalayan salt which contains 84 minerals. Is way better than any water and so much healthier you will notice the difference

This begs the question: who dumps the plastic in the oceans? I put mine in the recycling bin, so how does it get all the way to oceans?
From the title I expected not just to hear about plastics, but also metals, organics and other contaminates that can be found in water (bottle and tap). If nothing else, not only tell us about the plastics in the bottle water (which I expected to some degree because the water is in a plastic container which can degrade) but compare it to tap water.
The analysis of tap water should be the baseline to which the analyses of all bottle water is compared. Especially since the bottle water is supposed to be "cleaner and purer".
I appreciate how CBC is always exposing topics that should get more coverage but just don't.
Do you appreciate how they don't tell you that tap water has just as much microplastic in it as bottle?

Distill your water.
DISTILLED IS BEST. JUST MAKE SURE YOU GET A TRACE MINERAL W/IT!!
Langenberg and Starfire waters are filtered several times with amazing additions and infused technologies. You can combine them and just do a bottle day.
The real question is whats lurking in the water thats flowing through pipes of every city in America.The public water supply is not fit to drink,you can boil it but it still has a odor,strange color and smell.
Bottled water was essentially made for mothers on the go, who needed to make their powdered baby formulas. Someone turned on a water faucet and said, We struck a gold mine! I always wondered if it's better to boil your tap water, then refrigerate. I personally like Flow water. But, wouldn't be surprised if their Packaging has something not good, either.
I had to report a couple of grocery chains for putting recycling tax on the brand- Flow water, because most people don't look at their receipts to check, or know that Flow water isn't supposed to have taxes for plastic, or glass, because it's not packaged in plastic, or a bottle. So, if you buy Flow water, don't forget no recycling tax. As grocery stores have been getting over on customers for years!
If we insist on buying water, can't we at least use returnable glass bottles?
The plastic will leech in to the liquid in the plastic bottle from reusing it. It washes the plastic into your drink.
Plastic is recyclable here in USA. You get paid for it.
Glass is breakable
Cost way to much for shipping
Glass is too expensive to ship.
I would also love to see a test of the tap water of all the major cities across Canada !
Across the us also

and the U.S.
It crazy how more and more things and being made with plastic nowadays. So many things used to be made with metal or glass but companies realized it’s cheaper to make with plastic
considering plastic and plastic chemicals can be found in antarcticas rainwater, its no surprise you would find it in the bottled water too, doesnt matter the packaging or source. the only way around the microplastics are expensive filtering systems that i doubt too many companies are interested in.
All bottled drinks, water, cola, Ginger ale, or juices have the same issues as bottled water.
Even more so because the acid and sugar in these drinks can dissolve the plastic making it more bioavailable in your body.
The only difference is bottled water is almost completely unnecessary in Canada. Just drink out of your tap it’s clean fresh water here.

@@SouthSideLadyWright right now, I'm not working, the virus hit the jobs hard. Was to start just before this all kicked up, that went into file 13.

My point is, money is not the root of any evil at all, a person's intentions are the root of their evil or good. Money is an object, it's no more inherently good or evil than a roll of toilet paper or a hammer.
So, for platitudes, I'd go with, a person is only as good as their intentions and deeds. A person with good intention that performs a deed that causes harm swiftly rectifies that harm, due to their good intentions. A person with bad intentions cannot be counted upon to rectify harm that they caused.
But, corporations aren't individuals, they're large groups of people and large groups of people frequently will lose their moral center, due to the statutory requirement that a company makes a profit to reward its investors.
There are so many human beings out there with lots of money n are very generous. Others are just mean n cannot even share even a single penny. Money is not evil. People become evil.
@@SouthSideLadyWright Amen.
8-15-22. I live in metro Atlanta and order my bottled spring water from a company straight from the Georgia Mountains . I love it.
Thanks for that insight.
I loved paper bags and glass bottles. I remember when plastic was being pushed onto the consumer. Common sense should be telling folks that we need to get back to paper and glass.
Cashier: do you want a plastic bag?
Me: no, it’s already inside the fish I bought.
🤣
I shouldn’t be laughing so hard
10/10 joke 👌
@@nraihk It's a fact, not a joke. It's true and we shouldn't be happy about it.
Bravo ✋..u nailed it !
I recommend Fiji and Evian. There's tons of sodium bicarbonate in most bottled distilled water. You can taste it. Better yet stick to spring.
I prefer Budweiser
Thank you so much marketplace canada
In addition to plastic particles, you really should also have tested for chemicals leaching from the plastic bottles into the bottled water's contents. Bottled water often has a sweet, chemical-like smell that indicates that chemicals have leached into the water from the bottles, especially if it has been sitting for a long time.
And I heard that those chemicals are cancerous 🤔
Well, idk about that smell...or taste but I do notice a smoother taste or feeling going down. Which is why I do tolerate it better than sink water. So, why is that, I wonder?
But yea, I also owner about chemicals from the bottle
@@sandrapeek5982 Tap water often contains a compound called monochloramine, which is added as a disinfectant, and makes the water smell like chlorine.
Bottled water companies are only required to put in 10% of what the label states!
Interesting but I would have liked to have seen more conductive tests then just for plastics. Chemicals.. fluoride, etc.
Me too
Me too..
People will still take that water ether way..
@@kamauwilliamk sadly yes.. but we need to eat and drink. It becomes almost impossible to avoid at this point, they know we are dependant upon.
@@sarmstrong1679 I live in #kenya #Africa... And is all,the something..
Tonka used to make metal toys, now they are plastic (and breakable). Lots of foods are sold in plastic containers. Now many foods are full of weird chemicals. So is plastic-bottled water, soda, and juice. I think everyone ought to grow food at home with gardens like my family did. We drank tap or hose water. We grew up healthy and strong.
Today, we live in boxes without yards and buy contaminated foods that are not healthy.
Depends on where you live. Bet ya quite a few children in Flint Michigan would have been better off drinking bottled water.
I agree I live in new orleans and I dont trust trust the tap water out here
robert forsythe
, I was literally just watching a video prior to this one on Flint's water crisis. The coincidence....
@Bradford Krull Right, and i bet its the presidents fault. Did obama fix it? too many dems stealing in every state. Im in Ca, we are totally screwed because of the people that claim they were elected, i do not believe these old people in their 80s need to be in gov that long.
i live in london and our tap water tastes like soup where i live. its really weird. water soup.
What is the best bottled water?Stop discussing Evian and Naive.
I'm surprised anyone would think Coca Cola, Nestle and other products like them would produce pure water hahahah.
Mark-Anthony J 😂😂
Exactly!
Laughably, I had someone give me some bottled water that had the actual ingredients listed. Water filtered by reverse osmosis, with magnesium sulfate and potassium bicarbonate added for flavor.
I trust that more than "Pure Water", which is decidedly not distilled or reverse osmosis filtered water, as they tasted the same as the magnesium sulfate and potassium bicarb added water, which resembles well water in taste due to those chemicals being present in ground water.
Big dirty bowel movements with corn in it
lol
Best to get a quailty water filteration system for your home, add a quality mineral supplement. LifeStraw products are great as well
I'm all for what you're saying and trying to do, but, I was hoping to see how the bottled water compared to the source tap water in areas where the water was bottled. I know this was posted 4 years ago, but it would be interesting if you did an update and included a source tap water comparison.
For many bottled waters, as they mentioned, the water is taken directly from the city source water, that is, the water that comes out of your tap. Other bottlers will take out any useful minerals from the water. And effin' Nestle steals fresh water from communities all over the Canada and the US (don't know about elsewhere). Nestle is evil and I wish certain celebrities would stop advertizin for them.
Some people say they love ocean, love their kids, the generation, but they never stop using plastic products.
I don't use plastic bottles if I do I'll put them in the right place I use mine Lee aluminum cans that I'm not saying no water in aluminum cans yet
You are suppose to put yr tap water in class picture and let sit so the water goes back to natural chemical structure then drink it. Usually overnight. Forget plastic it’s killing you and the world
@@rickstuart8260 class picture?
@@wendyhankins4934 they make water in can .I have seen them in the stores .
i think our plastic is burned
Nothing is safe to consume...
It has been common knowledge in the medical community that estrogen is also released in plastic bottles . When water bottles are transported by truck they get heated there by releasing the estrogen into the water. This is something that the marketers of these plastic water bottles do not tell us.
I’m not drinking this water, I’m drinking spring water only, not recycled water. There’s only about 6 companies that provide that. You gotta read the bottle. I drink Figi water, or Evian, there’s a few more . But read label because they have to tell you by law, what the product is. Any Pepsi or nestle product is reconditioned water.
Why does no one ask the question: "why are we throwing trash in the ocean?"
@Barbara Rowley Don’t worry the planet has been through volcanos blocking the sky for hundreds of years, earthquakes, tsunamis and you think a few plastic bottles is going to be what brings the planet to its knees
I think most trash comes from poverty areas of the world, AMERICANS are more mindful but look at India, Pakistan the ganji River is sooo polluted an they still wash an swim in it cuz it holy?????🌎💦💧

Good thing I bought my own water machine. It's a bit pricy yes but I know it's fresh and I can test it anytime. Since I had that machine I've never been sick. Prior to getting one, if someone sneezes the following day I'm sneezing and got a cold. And oh... Having your own water machine to drink and cook and wash face is mother earth friendly too.
Which machine did you get? How much did it cost?
@@angiedee2722 I got a japan made machine.
Thanks for posting.
Glass is the cheapest to make and the easiest to recycle. You just heat it up again and it never dies. Plastic WAS cheap to make but not anymore. Companies like plastic for reduced weight in shipping cost but Im willing to pay more to end use of plastic.
this.
I feel the same way. I was and am still pissed that snapple now use plastic bottles.
They stopped using the Glass 2litres, after a few of them exploded, causing injury. Shortly after that, they all went to plastic, but they still offered a 25 cent deposit/refund for the returns. Shortly after that, they stopped the deposit.
What if they use the biodegradable plastic bottles like we do here?
Do they make biodegradable plastic?
should never have started using plastic over glass just for the sake of more profit.
should bring back glass bottles, and start making paper from hemp for paper bags.
The problem is that plastic is lighter to ship in bulk. I would suggest that it is safer too, but many other products are still delivered reasonably in glass without significant recurring injuries. Even Perrier and Gatorade are now sold in plastic at the same price as before, if not slightly higher. So the whole industry isn't likely to reverse converting almost everything to plastic in the near future. The numbers are just not there any more. Many backs have been saved by moving to plastic delivery jugs for office water coolers, so there is a legit personnel reason for the switch as well.
Glass is rapidly receding as a mass packaging material, even in the beer industry. Metal is a pretty good option though. It is a bit more expensive, but the incentive of paid recycling makes it a worthwhile alternative to plastic. La Croix water stands out by being sold in metal containers for decades, but others have recently started regularly canning water as well.
George V. Cohea what about water in cartons like the boxed water that was sort of becoming a thing a while ago. I feel like that was a good idea but I haven't seen it in a while I guess it was just a fad
AnAceism Glass can break, causing injuries. That's why it is not that common.
Boxed water would be better, glass isn't the best environmental alternative. Still better than plastic though.
Best investigation ever ! 👍👍💪 Very informative
I will continue to buy spring water,bcuz I believe it's better than tap water. Good video. I've noticed a lot of water is just filtered water.
I will no longer drink or eat anymore after this report.
Just eat raspberries, blueberries to get rid of toxins...and some plastic leaves through urine...
Got an NSA water filter then its boiled that is all I can do.the world has been contaminated our beautiful world it makes me so sad.
Great information. I only wish you would have tested for many other chemicals and showed the results with the 50 bottles listed from minimum to highest of various chemicals. Thanks.
Really...
I was hoping to know the quality of those brands, compared to tap tap waters from their surrounding locations (and/or cities) and their over all quality, what a waste of time and effort; I could of told you there were traces of plastics, that we consume from plastics containers and such...duh!?
Salih Abdur-Rasheed.......WHICH WATER HURTS YOU THE MOST SALIH?
MAYBE WE SHOULD ALSO TEST FOR THE CHEMICALS IN HUMANS BRAINS ALSO!!!!
JUST A THOUGHT!!!!
My doctor's office staff TESTED me on their bottled water/plastic/samples..The only sample that did not taste like plastic, was the one they drew from the water fountain water!
Many of us have already known this about plastics; Dr. Leigh Lipton. who was a biochemist and medical examiner for LA County, said "let the water sit overnight from your TAP, let the chemicals dissipate into the air, and USE GLASS BOTTLES ONLY. Now I want to know why not TEST that tap water TOO ?
At least the sharks and fish are learning to avoid plastic as much as they can, already !Fish might be smarter than humans by now ?
I'm praying that the mermaids survive the turmoil.

we have a well from the Oglala aquifer only 240 feet deep, I do have it tested for chemicals every few years always comes back good. I doubt if plastics are in it since the layer of clay between the surface and the well head is almost impermeable. so it should be older water than the plastic coming into the environment
I'm in Haiti 🇭🇹 watching this video
I really enjoyed it
I don't drink tap water or bottle.
Bought a filter saves plastic and waste
Hello for those saying that I'm just filtering already filtered water i don't believe I am
Plus some places haven't upgraded there pipes so for I know there probably is a difference for when i do filter my water
Does it taste as better as bottle
KkUnicorn
Tap water is a lot cleaner than you think it is. It is actually filtered for many days before it reaches your sink. So when you filter water, you are just filtering filtered water.
Unless it’s 100% distilled it will be still full of fluoride which is scientifically proven to make lab rats docile 🤔 and even 100% distilled has nothing good in it absolutely nothing it’s just useful for a good flush as the negative ions will pull positive toxins from your body along with all the good stuff too 😬 so it’s a catch 22 really so unless you live near a volcano and can source your own geothermal/geothermic water straight from the source being Mother Earth. Then don’t be disgruntled and be grateful for what you can get and always look for the lesser evil just my humble opinion 🤓
That’s what I do just get a good filter. We have a Berkfield.
you don’t need to filter it, if you are from places mentioned in the video you already get state of the art tap water

Great report and I thank you
I understand bottled water to a point. Your out and about, your thirsty, okay buy a bottle. But if your at home, unless there is some sort of issue with your source of water that you absolutely cannot fix, there is zero need to buy cases by the case. IF you use water every day at work, buy a nice insulated tumbler, and put some ice in it with water.
Wait a minute, I thought the water came from natural waterfalls 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Humans are selfish and greedy for money!
A lot does come from natural springs but you have to actually read the package and don’t buy water from Pepsi and nestle.
