If you buy bottled drinking water, thinking that it is cleaner and safer for health, US experts say that this can be a waste of money.
Specialists from the Baylor Medical Center in Garland argue that there is no guarantee that purified water in bottles is better than tap water.
Researchers state that in fact 25% of bottled water is simply re-packaged tap water.
In America, water is checked by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before it is sold, but its manufacturers are exempt from FDA control when water is packaged, bottled and delivered to stores. A review of bottled drinking water has shown that a large number of such products do not comply with epidemiological standards. In the United States, as in Russia, tap water is considered safe for consumption.
