6Bottled water
We’re so used to drinking water out of plastic bottles, we don’t think twice about it. According to the FDA, plastic leaches over 50 chemicals when heated. Some of these toxins act as hormone disrupters.
Water doesn’t go bad. So bottled water manufacturers have no need to use refrigerated trucks to transport it. Additionally, the longer the water is kept in plastic containers, the more toxins leak into it. While small amounts of such chemicals cannot develop into cancer, minute doses add up over time and can eventually cause cancer.
Alternative: Invest in a water purifier for your home. Carry your own water in a glass, metal or ceramic bottle.
