Most bottled water isn’t tested for PFAS, so you could be paying a premium for the same tap water. Yes, that fancy glass bottle from France? It might be a lie. Look for brands that test for PFAS, like those with “Clean Label” certifications.
Or better yet: invest in a reusable stainless steel bottle and filter your own tap water. It’s cheaper, greener, and you’ll look like an eco-warrior carrying it around. Win-win.
