Is bottled water safe to drink?!
the water is sold in one gallon plastic jar (i guess its same thing as one gallon milk jar)
I hear that plastic will leak out bad environment hormone things.
I wonder if the bottle waters are free of those
plastic hazards.

plastic bottles are good for 2 years
glass bottles are the best to store liquids in
bottled water lacks fluoride, which makes your teeth better.
do not consume plastic bottle water past 2 years of manufacture.
plastic water storage drums do not have this problem
nah but it is better for you if you drink tap water
that is true but after the water expires , water expiry date mean when plastic goes away takes a long time, try to get pack that has expiry of at least a year from when u get it.
plastic does have weird chemicals in it that can be bad for you.
I'm generally okay with plastic bottles, though. I try not to heat things up when they're in plastic, because that can leech the chemicals out (esp. if you microwave plastic wrap), but other than that I don't worry about it too much.
cant be any worse for you than water out of the sink.
I've never heard that. Everybody drinks bottled water, so I really don't think there's anything wrong with it. However I have heard that reusing the same water bottle too many times is bad for you because of bacteria build up.
hmmmmmmmm
NO terdbrain its more like unbottled water that is safer!
Use your brain properly before asking stupid questions. @$$hole
Buy an reverse osmosis water filter. It is cheaper
than buying bottled water. They sell them at Sears,home depot and lowes,etc.from 150- 500
dollars.
Yes.
These questions ablot plastic and food are way too common. Some people get some sort of jollies from promoting these food scares. It comes from reports that some vinyl can release dioxin ( bad stuff ) into food. Especially when heated. The plastics used for food storagee are different. Dink water out of a bottle. Even warm up food in Tupperware, just watch how hot.
Do not drink water from that blow up wading pool.
Increasing questions are being raised about a possible link between the chemicals leached out of the bottle with cancers... such as breast cancer.
To prove there are toxic things in the bottle, put it in the sun for a while, then shake it and open it... smell the sweet toxic fumes. Tap water is also not always healthy... best to get a good quality carbon filter. Bottled water is also TERRIBLE for the environment. Also, sometimes bottled water is not even pure, such as Coke having to pull their bottled water brand from the shelves because it contained a cancer causing chemical.
Yes. But dont store it in the fridge . Have read that cheicals leak out from plastic bottles if kept in the fridge.
People always have theories about health risks. I have never come to harm drinking bottled water, don't know anyone who has so will continue to do so.
I think what they are referring to is old bottles that are reused for a long time and often left in the sun. That kind of treatment can damage the bottle.
This is all a load of rubbish. Water is a serious subject on this planet - there are thousands dying every day because of poor water supply and so many of these answers are simply heresay and rhetoric. Water is amongst our our most valuable things and we should never forget how blessed we are to have a safe water supply.
Plastics can in the long term add a taint to the flavour of food - especially liquids, which is why premium beers and wines come in glass not plastic. The shelf life given to the product by the manufacturer is primarily based around how long the product can stay in the packaging before it goes off or acquires unacceptable levels of flavour from the plastic - check the life of tinned soups vs soups in puches - its much longer. Food goes "stale" or "off" long long before it become hazardous to your health in any way.
Plastic bottles take thousands of years to "dissolve" in landfill - there is no risk to your health drinking water from one thats only a couple of years old - to think so would be naiive in the extreme.
In the uk we have excellent tap water. Our tap water contains chlorine (to ensure its safe) and fluoride (to keep our teeth healthier amongst other things). there has been a marked decline in the dental health of children in this country in recent years and it is widely believed that kids drinking bottled - instead of tap - water is a large part of this.
Bottled water is essential in many 3rd world countries, but in the western world then its a complete waste of money and valuable resources - think beyond just the bottle - think about the lorries delivering great pallet loads and the factories burning electricity, and the waste they produce.
It may be completely irresponsible in environmental terms to drink bottled water but "Leaking out bad hormone environment things" is simply not the case - there are some unknown and being studied risks around plastics leeching chemicals but on the global scale they are still minimal scale stories and if you are prepared to dump the plastic bottle after drinking the water then the risk to your health from producing so much unnecessary waste is far greater.
As a planet we won't blow ourselves up - we'll pollute ourselves to death.
If you want to drink tap water without chlorine in it just put a jug of water in the fridge for 10 minutes - chlorine is a gas and it will dissolve off.
It's OK, better than dirty tap water, at least. Just don't reuse the bottle to many times.
