Why You Should Avoid Bottled Water

Our super markets display hundreds of dozens of plastic bottles all filled with reverse osmosis water.Â Many scientists call this water “dead water“. All the minerals have been removed, and all of this water is acidic.

There are those who know what acidic water does, for those who do not know, here is a short explanation.

The body requires a pH balance of 7.365, acidic water varies from 4.00 to 7.00. When the body does not get what it needs, it collects the shortfall (between the 4.00 and the 7.365) from other part of your body. That could be either from your bones, your teeth, or from your cells.

In 1931 the gentleman who won the Nobel Prize, said that Cancer cannot survive in an alkaline body, but, grows easily in an acidic body. How’s that forÂ a reason to stop using bottled water?

Here’s another:

We now have one of the biggest and disastrous environmental calamities there ever has been, all because of a fad. It came about when it was decided we “needed” to carry around a bottle of water.

Check out thisÂ headline:Â 10 Million TONS Of Trash Floating In Pacific

An eye-popping 46,000 pieces of plastic float on every square mile of ocean! Humans toss another 2.5 million pieces into our oceans hourly.” Let me repeat this: the United Nations Environmental Program report estimated 46,000 pieces of plastic debris floats on or near the surface of every square mile of ocean.

Each of us on average uses 190 pounds of plastic annually: bottled water, fast food packaging, furniture, syringes, computers and computer diskettes, packing materials, garbage bags and so much more. When you consider that this plastic does not biodegrade and remains in our ecosystems permanently, we are looking at an incredibly high volume of accumulated plastic trash that has been built up since the mid-20th century. Where does it go? There are only three places it can go: our earth, our air and our oceans.

It is easy to pass the responsibility on to the manufacturers, those manufacturers who encase everything in plastic wrapping, DVD’s CD’s Toys, the list goes on. But that misses the point.

While manyÂ world governments are working on enforcingÂ recyclable wrapping, there is much you can do to help. It may not sound like much but one way to start isÂ by drinking alkaline water from reusable containers.
