Being in the bottled water industry, the misinformation spewed out by the people who made this propaganda piece is simply unbelievable and you have to suspend all logic to buy into the hysteria.
1.) bottled water IS regulated by "truth in labeling" laws; it must be what the label says it is. Spring water from a "certified spring", purified water must measure 10 parts per million or less of ANYTHING in the water, distilled, etc.
2.) they fail to mention why BPA is used in the bottles or in any plastic: to strengthen and keep the bottles from failing part. I've seen bottles over 20 years old, just as solid as the day made. So how can all this horrible chemical be "leaching" out of the container.
3.) the overwhelming majority of bottled water is consumed out of bottles that do not contain BPA, they are PETE bottles, no BPA involved.
4.) In another anti plastic movie, Plastic Paradise, the cute little Asian chick wants to demonstrate how horrible it is to drink out of plastic bottles, because of the horrific dangers of BPA. SOOOOO, she gets a blood test done to measure her currant BPA levels, THEN she handles a THERMAL STORE RECEIPT, then gets another blood test. Unh? What? Wait a minute. Why doesn't she drink out of a plastic bottle? Because the majority of BPA in people comes from other sources far more insidious than plastic water bottles. Another documentary goes further by locating people who have NEVER drank bottled water and yet they have elevated levels of BPA in their systems.
5.) The FDA (the GUVMINT) is trying to kill us by NOT banning BPA, the GUVMINT allows the chemical companies to kill us with pollution from oil and bottle making processes, but we are to trust the GUVMINT when they send tap water to your house? I mean they put CHLORINE in the stuff to KILL THINGS!! But THAT'S OK to drink because the GUVMINT says so? No thanks. I'll stick to drinking bottled water from reliable sources.
Ask yourself, where does Coke (Dasani) and Pepsi Aquafina) get the water for their soda? And how come it tastes consistently the same from coast to coast, given that over 700 different containment are found in tap water across the country? Do you really believe they would allow the nasty water say in LA spoil the taste of their magic formulas for their products? Reverse Osmosis is what they use amongst other processes, to make sure the water is a neutral as possible.
Just do you homework. In many areas there are water stores, that process city water through Reverse Osmosis filtration systems that remove virtually all contaminants from the water.
The GUVMINT and a lot of these "enviro-nazis" are in bed together more than you realize and do not want you to drink bottled water. Period.
