Ever wonder what's lurking in your bottled water?

You can find out HERE.

Just a few highlights:

Vittel* 1 Mineral Water (1.5 liter) Berkeley, CA Vittel Bonne Source Well, Vittel, France
Arsenic level exceeds CA Prop. 65 level and WHO/EU arsenic water limit.
Yosemite Waters† 1 Drinking Water (5 gallons) Los Angeles /Santa Monica Highland Park, CA
Level of HPC bacteria exceeds guidelines
Sparkletts† 1 Mountain Spring Water (33.8 oz.) Los Angeles McKesson Water Prods., Pasadena, CA
Heterotrophic Plate Count Bacteria (HPC) exceeded guideline.
Sahara* 1 Drinking Water, "Premium" (50.7 oz.) Los Angeles
THM levels violated CA & industry standards for bottled water, and chloroform, bromodichloromethane, and dibromochloromethane exceeded CA Prop. 65 levels.
Safeway (DC) 2 Refreshe Natural Spring Water (16.9 oz.) Washington, DC Safeway Spring, NY
Bacterial overgrowth was observed in 1 of the 10 bottles tested. The presence of a large number of non-coliform HPC bacteria may be inhibiting the detection of coliform bacteria during the testing. See text for discussion of HPC bacteria.


Lovely.

Most of them I haven't either, asides from Sparkletts. I just saw a Yosemite Waters truck before I came to work today (and coincidentally before I found that site). I just picked the ones that were bolded because they seemed to have the most amount of violations listed ^_^

Ya so. Want me to list off what the hell is in pizza. Probably more likely to kill you anyways.

Pizza(which I'm about to have for lunch BTW...yummy)? You don't even have to go far... do some googles on what's simply in the air....

That throwing stick stunt of yours has boomeranged on us.
This is something I've wondered lately. Is there no flouride in bottled water? Also, do water filter systems that you can buy take out flouride from city water?
