Long-Lasting Chemicals Threaten the Environment and Human Health
ScienceDaily (Dec. 22, 2010) - Every hour, an enormous quantity and variety
of human-made chemicals, having reached the end of their useful lifespan,
flood into wastewater treatment plants. These large-scale processing
facilities, however, are designed only to remove nutrients, turbidity and
oxygen-depleting human waste, and not the multitude of chemicals put to
residential, institutional, commercial and industrial use.

So you don't see any difference between eating from a buffet and dying
within hours because it was purposely poisoned, vs experiencing various
health issues over years due to chemicals in tap water (which could be
avoided by drinking bottled water)?

Could you please tell me who tests the bottled water for purity and safety?

Likely whatever the free market can get away with. Plus how
much plastic gets into the water?

wrong
the bottled water contains Bi-Phenol-A which, amongst other things, causes
T2

Not all bottled water comes in plastic bottles, and not all plastics are
toxic.

Standards are by a few states, but they're generally unregulated.
