55 Rampant Health Myths That Need to Die

Myth: Bottled water is better than tap water

‘Global bottled water sales have skyrocketed over the past several decades thanks to the misguided belief that ‘spring water’ is healthier or cleaner than the water that comes out of your tap.

Bottled water is generally not worse or better than tap water because over 50 percent of it is just tap water. Plus the EPA publishes detailed data about water quality, while most bottled water companies won’t tell you anything.’ – Morton Tavel, MD, clinical professor emeritus of medicine, Indiana University School of Medicine
