Bottled Water is Not Clever – Even When They Call it Smart Water

SEASON 3 – EPISODE 5 – Bottled Water is Not Clever – Even When They Call it Smart Water

Smart Bottled Water is taken from natural springs all over the world, then boiled to remove all of inherent goodness that is naturally present in “natural spring water”, and then because the water is now tasteless and devoid of any natural minerals, The Coca Cola company add calcium chloride, magnesium chloride and potassium bicarbonate to give it a taste.

Then they put it in a plastic bottle that leaches microplastics into the water that they have spent so long boiling/vaporising and treating with chemicals that when ingested can physically damage organs and leach hazardous chemicals—from the hormone-disrupting bisphenol A (BPA) to pesticides—that can compromise immune function and stymie growth and reproduction.

Then they sell you this needlessly over treated muck for about the same price as your petrol, diesel or gas Then of course you need to dispose of the bottle, so that it can be recycled, which is only happening at a rate of about 20 % at this time for this type of plastic.

Smart bottled water is not, smart, it is not clever, it is not natural and it certainly is not green.
