Bottles of plastic water contain hundreds of thousands of toxic microscopic plastic particles, new research has found.
The findings are likely to shock anyone who has swapped from tap to bottled water, believing it was better for their health.
Drinking water from a bottle could mean you are contaminating your body with tiny bits of plastic, which scientists fear can accumulate in your vital organs with unknown health implications.

What garbage. How many agonizing deaths so far? How many plastic nano particles are in the air we breathe? When can I sue Evian, Dasani, and Ozarka?

I don't drink bottled water, so I don't really care.

This is the sort of alarmist claptrap that passes for science these days. In the era of Hearst and yellow journalism, the credo was "if it bleeds, it leads"; now, with junk science taking center stage, it's become "if it rants, it grants"

So all of those people virtue signaling "look how healthy I'm being by drinking bottled water" are now just slowly killing themselves? Drink bottled water, die by plastic poisoning. Drink water from the tap, die of lead from the pipes and chemical additives. Don't drink enough water, you die from dehydration or some other illness. Either way, your screwed by drinking water! We may as well just go out into the desert, lay out in the desert sun and wait for the buzzards to pick our chemically poisoned, dehydrated bones. The fear mongers are out in force today.

I won't name the supermarket chain, but one regional chain uses water from a former industrial area for its store brand bottled water.

Not one of us are getting out alive. According to these "experts," we all need to give up red meat, dairy, bottled water, coffee, liquor, washing machines, AC, gas stoves, etc., etc., so that we can ALL DIE HEALTHY!!

Gin comes in glass bottles, is properly drunk in glass...glasses. No Nano-nuthings.

This should be a real shocker to those who carry around a bottle of water all day and preach about the dangers of tap water.

You know what shortens life? People living in a constant state of fear and stress. The fearmongering is doing that to a lot of people. I don’t doubt lil plastic stuff is in bottled water. I think the purposeful drumbeat of chaos, fear and stress is going far more damage !

Where is the evidence that “nano plastics” cause cancer? Or are even toxic?
