"Consumers may not realize that many regulations that apply to municipalities responsible for tap water do not apply to companies that produce bottled water," he said in statements opening the hearing.

The GAO noted the FDA has yet to set standards for DEHP, one of several chemicals known as phthalates that are found in many household products, while the EPA limits the presence of phthalates in tap water.

In a survey of officials in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, the GAO found they think consumers are misinformed about bottled water.

"Many replied that consumers often believe that bottled water is safer or healthier than tap water," according to the GAO report.

long before bottled water became widespread in the uk its use was prevalent on mainland europe and most of it sourced from natural springs.

water is obviously an essential requirement for living and thus we can ponder if this article is just another attempt at fear mongering by the msm. let's stop outraging at their negative fear tactics and instead laugh at them. :)

If your not so sure,boil all your water,then allow it to cool naturally,or make a pack up [say 24 bottles] and freeze them in the bottom of a chest freezer.

True. But some bottled water is tap water.

It's worth finding a brand you can trust.
