How Does Your Water Go?


Jack from Fork & Bottle sent me this impressive chart (from 1999) that details the contaminants found in every bottled water you can imagine.

Workers for the Natural Resources Defense Council bought water from various locations (mostly California) and analyzed the contents. They also noted the water source, if available.

Anyone know of more recent information? My favorite water came out just fine, but I wouldn’t want to induce panic in those of you who buy Arrowhead.

This study is not exactly up to date having being done in 1999 - but the results are really impressive - I wonder if anyone has redone or done a similar study? If you know of one - let me know!

Your comment crossed my edits to the original post. I haven’t seen anything more recent on their site. I’ll poke around and see if I can find something more current, even from someone else.
