Is it good for your health to drink bottled water regularly?

　　Research shows long-term drinking of bottled water is bad for our bodies healthy The impact is relatively large. So let’s talk about the safety risks of drinking bottled water.

　　1. Bottled water poses health risks

　　The National Association for the Advancement of Environmental Protection tested the top 10 best brands of bottled water in the United States and found more than 200 contaminants, including bacteria and industrial chemicals. 45% of the bottled water on the market does not come from natural spring water or pure water as advertised, but is actually purified city water or simply tap water. Dong Jinshi, executive vice president of the International Food Packaging Association, pointed out that polyester bottles used in bottled water often contain substances that may cause chronic poisoning to the human body. Especially when the bottles are exposed to high temperatures or are not drank in time after opening, harmful substances will seep into the water and endanger health.

　　A very small amount of "antimony" will not make people sick, but a large amount can induce severe vomiting and even death. Although the amount of "antimony" contained in mineral water in plastic bottles is far lower than the official safety standard, Dr. Schette sampled 48 well-known brands of mineral water on the European market for research and found that the antimony content in bottled mineral water "doubled" after three months of storage.

　　“Mineral water absorbs "antimony" just like water absorbs the tea flavor in tea bags. ”Dr. Shuttle said. In addition, Dr. Shuttle himself stated that he no longer drinks water bottled in polyester bottles.

　　2. Bottled water brings a heavy burden to the environment

　　According to a survey, 86% of plastic water bottles in the United States are disposed of as garbage. After incineration, toxic by-products such as chlorine and residues containing heavy metals are produced. If buried, it will take 1,000 years to complete biodegradation. In addition, the production, transportation, storage and other aspects of bottled water require manpower and material resources, which may lead to new pollution.

　　3. Drinking bottled water is more likely to cause wrinkles

　　USA skin Experts say that repeated opening of the mouth when drinking bottled water will form deep wrinkles around the lips. He suggests that it is best to change to a cup with a larger mouth. Dermatologist Marilyn Birdswin warned that people who often drink bottled water or drink drinks through straws will have obvious mouth wrinkles after two years. She recommends keeping your mouth as relaxed as possible when drinking water.

　　If we often drink bottled water in our diet, then we must pay attention to the above issues, so if possible, we should drink less bottled water.
