Well we knew this was coming sooner or later - the safety of bottled water not only questioned, but proven risky.
Since the past decade, millions of people, especially in the Western world have and do consume bottled water on a regular basis. Most of us do not know how life existed before this convenience was available to us.
Many people have switched over to bottled water for themselves and their families for none other than the belief that it is safer and hence better for us than tap water. Naturally convenience has also driven this trend, but safety has been number one.
Most of us have heard the odd water contamination scare or heard too many negative stories about how our cities and towns clean our tap water. The source of tap water is usually of course some polluted lake and one cannot forget that tap water was technically once toilet water.
Hence bottled water seemed like the safe and smart thing to invest in. After today however, you may want to rethink that.
For the past few years now there have been speculating reports as to the true source and quality of the so called “natural spring water.” In a recent report from the Environmental Working Group, those speculations have turned to facts - facts that bottled water is not at all what most people perceive it to be.
Okay so a while back when Clorox introduced its Green Works line, initially I was very excited that finally a popular chemical company has come forth with something better where our health is concerned.
However, after doing some research and writing two articles on the topic, which you can read about here and here, I came to the conclusion that Clorox Green Works is nothing more than a typical greenwashing initiative.
As I said in the past, I applaud them for trying to improve but you cannot mislead people and give them a false sense of security while doing so.
Well, not to let you think that I am picking on Clorox again, but I just came across one of their online ads that would make me lose sleep if I did not write about it here. Okay, just kidding, but seriously I have seen ads like this from the SC Johnson & Company, Mr. Clean, Febreeze, Glade and now Clorox, just to name a few and I find them utterly disgusting. There is one in particular that I will be writing about soon.
But for now here is the Clorox commercial, check it out (only 30 seconds) and read on.
In response to yesterday’s article entitled “Fast Food = Fast Liver Damage“, I was inspired to write a follow up thanks to the comment of one of my readers.
Thanks to David who asked me a great set of questions, I will answer those questions in this article to offer you some more credible information and practical understanding of how your system works versus how you were brought up to believe it works and how society would have you believe it works.
There are many, many areas for us to still talk about when it comes to proper health and nutrition that is based on unbiased, credible and reliable advice, and through your feedback I am delighted to expand upon these topics. Hence I call this article “Health and Nutrition Myths - Part 1″. And who knows, this might even turn into a regular series on Evolving Wellness. I am hoping you will have many more comments and questions where the topic of your health and nutrition is concerned and so this is part 1 of many!
