H2O WARNING: Before Your Next Sip, Read THIS!

Hoodwinked. Duped. Conned.
No matter what you call it, the bottled water industry has pulled a fast one. They’ve convinced us their products are pure, safe, and (most of all) NECESSARY.
But the reality is NONE of those things are true.
Because despite the fresh, colorful labels on their bottles… and claims that their contents are sourced from the purest water on earth… most bottled water is FAR FROM CLEAN.
In fact, there’s a good chance that hidden toxins floating around in your water bottle!
And over time, they could DESTROY your health.
Let me explain…
Most folks have never even heard of microplastics before. And if that’s the case for you, it’s time for a quick crash course.
Just as their name suggests, microplastics are tiny plastic particles. They’re so little you can’t see them with your naked eye. But that doesn’t stop them from putting you in harm’s way.
Plastic packaging and widespread pollution have left many things we eat and drink contaminated with microplastics.
According to the World Wildlife Fund, most of us swallow about 2,000 microplastic particles weekly. For perspective, that adds up to about the size of a standard credit card.
But if you’ve been fooled into drinking “cleaner” bottled water, you could be ingesting a heck of a lot more.
Recent research found that folks who drink bottled water swallow 90,000 more microplastic particles yearly than those who choose tap water.
That’s like munching on FIVE credit cards a year!
In a 2018 study, HALF of the folks tested had microplastics in their stool. And in other research, scientists found that 93 percent of the 259 bottled waters they tried contained the tiny plastic particles.
But microplastics don’t just sound gross. They’re bad news for your health, too.
You see, they contain chemicals linked to…
- hormone issues
- obesity
- diabetes
- cancer
So, if you’re drinking bottled water, it’s time to QUIT.
Tap water has its own issues, of course. Depending on where you live, it can be contaminated with various things, including traces of drugs, chemicals, and other toxins.
That’s why I recommend investing in a high-quality water filter that can remove all kinds of contaminants, including microplastics.
P.S. Are you one of the millions of Americans who get their coffee TO GO? Researchers warn your coffee cup could be a serious health hazard. I’ve got all the disturbing details here.
