Disadvantages of Bottled Water

By -


In today’s scenario, every human strives to get best for himself. Same as in the case of health. They are even concerned about the water they drink. This is the reason that there is no dearth of bottled water on earth today. They are acquainted only with the positives of the bottled water which they take as mineral water. At prima facie, it seems alright. But on the flip virtue, this so-called mineral water has many adverse effects. In present times multifarious disadvantages are faced by the masses consuming this.
BOTTLED WATER

The first and the foremost point for this assertion is that this bottled water houses chemicals in the vast amount which is hazardous to human health such as Bisphenol A (BPA). These chemicals dilute with the water and form various compounds which are harmful to human body. Moreover, when this water is placed in the hot areas or under direct sunlight then it poses more danger.

Further, these water bottles are very much expensive as compared to tap water which is available at “zero cost”. Indeed it provides no difference with tap water in numerous cases. The main reason behind this is that the industries which are manufacturing this bottled water are just filtering the tap water and supplying it to the market and people, being unaware of this fact, rush to buy them for the sake of their health. 

DISADVANTAGES OF BOTTLED WATER

Not only humans, but our environment is also becoming the victim of the dangers which are caused by the plastic bottles. Manufacturing of the bottled water augments the use of fossil fuels. This has also led to a remarkable decline in fossil fuels. Manufacturing of these plastic bottles accounts more of water for its production rather than the amount which can be filled in it. What is more, these plastic bottles are non-bio degradable which are ending up in landfills and trash which cannot be dumped due to which our environment becomes prone to degradation.

These plastic bottles seep ample amount of toxins into the water which makes it inappropriate for drinking. When consumed, these toxins also lead to various diseases like cancer. However, there is another major darker side of it which is that whenever these bottles come across or under direct heat or sunlight, the oil used in the production of these plastic bottles starts releasing its particles in water. This again is pernicious for humans.

By the dint of above-mentioned facts, it is crystal clear that the bottled water that we intake in the name of mineral water costs our health and environment as well.

Many scientist and doctors agree on this one point that this condition is caused by many neurological disorders. Our digestive system required pure water to digest our food as well as get the optimal nutrient absorption. Pure water can also either positively or negatively affect our energy levels depending on whether or not we are properly hydrated, in fact, it has been proven in clinical studies that even a 5% reduction in body fluids can cause as much as a 30% loss of energy and a 15% drop in body fluids leads to death.
