Bottled Water or Tap?
The
Centers for Disease Control says if chlorinated tap water is not
available, or where hygiene and sanitation are poor, visitors should
drink only canned or bottled carbonated beverages without ice cubes,
beer and wine, or beverages such as tea and coffee made with bottled
water.
But
in 2001, the Swiss-based World Wildlife Fund Int., issued a report on
tap water that insisted that bottled is often no healthier or safer to
drink than tap water.
"In
fact, there are
more standards
regulating tap water
in Europe and the U.S. than those applied to the bottled water
industry," the report said. Emphasis added.
