How do we know that the bottled water we are drinking is
safe? When you are drinking bottled
water (at home or while travelling the world), look for the words “reverse
osmosis” or “distillation” or “filtration with an absolute 1 micro filter” Any of these terms describe water treatment
methods of the highest quality. These
three water treatment methods should protect you and your loved ones from
water-borne bacteria and even Cryptosporidium,
a parasite which can cause gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. For people who are immunocompromised (with
weakened immune system), these three types of water treatments are recommended
by CDC as preventing illness and possibly being lifesaving. More information can be found at CDC,
