High Levels
of Bacteria Found in Bottled Water
(NY, Reuters Health, 11/1/04)
Dr. Rocus R. Klont of the University Medical Center
Nijmegen, the Netherlands, and team, tested 68 commercially
bottled waters, as well as tap and natural well water. The
investigators found pathogens in more than 40% of the water
samples. These findings suggest that bottled water is not
necessarily pure and safe and that patients with compromised
immune system could actually be put at risk by drinking it. |
