Bottled water from major brands have been found to contain tiny plastic particles - Toker's Den - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

This is why I don't drink bottled water.

- Bottled water has twice the amount of microplastic in it that tap water does, according to a new report.

- Some plastic bottles have as many as 10,000 of these microplastic parts in a single liter.

-They're often the same kind of plastic that is used to make the bottle caps.

I think it's time for me to get a water distiller and pure copper water container.

Well water and stainless steel container for me...

There were a couple of scumbags named Richard Kayne and Edward Kalp from the boston area, originally from Baltimore who ran an operation in ft Lauderdale and Boston called rare coin galleries of America which fleeced people out of their life savings while calling the coins they sold rare when in fact they were not.

The federal government banned them from ever being in the coin business again. This was circa 1984 . Either one or both of these dirtbags went into a different business........the bottled water business.

Beware

Anyone know how well refrigerator water filters work?

Then use Brita filtered... i belive those filter can stop micro plastic..

Maybe better to install an under counter RO unit.Relatively inexpensive, does not clean coliform but if you are on city water that has already been treated. (hopefully)

Lol, I was looking at one of them myself I have been saving all my whiskey bottles for moonshine.

Thankfully my water comes from a spring straight to my glass. Fuck plastic, that BPA shit is bad enough.

You can taste the plastic in the water, or I can. I use a Brita filter and pitcher, which is bpa free plastic, then pour into a steel bottle.

You should also not microwave your food in plastic containers.

I ordered my water distiller today from EBAY.

Bye bye chlorine, fluoride, plastic, etc.
