  • Find Your Brand
    Find your brand - Ratings for 173 bottled waters The Environmental Working Group rated 173 bottled waters for transparency - what each company is willing to share with you about where their water comes from, how or if it's treated, and how pure it is. More than half of all bottled waters flunked. Bottom line? Drink plenty of water, but avoid bottled water when you can. It pollutes the environment and is often nothing more than tap water.

  • What's Really in Your Bottled Water?
    What’s Really in Your Bottled Water? Consumer Reports found toxic PFAS chemicals in several popular water brands, especially carbonated ones By Ryan Felton September 24, 2020 3.1K SHARES CR recently tested 47 bottled waters, including 35 noncarbonated and 12 carbonated ones. For each product, we tested two to four samples. The tests focused on four heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury), plus 30 PFAS chemicals, which pose special concerns because they can linger in the environment almost indefinitely. The federal government has issued only voluntary guidance for PFAS, saying the combined amounts for two specific PFAS compounds should be below 70 parts per trillion. A few states have set lower limits, of 12 to 20 ppt, according to American Water Works, an industry group. The International Bottled Water Association, another group, says that it supports federal limits for PFAS and that bottled water should have PFAS levels below 5 ppt for any single compound and 10 ppt for more than one. Some experts say the cutoff for total PFAS levels should be even lower, 1 ppt. Noncarbonated Water Most of the noncarbonated products CR tested had detectable levels of PFAS, but only two—Tourmaline Spring and Deer Park—exceeded 1 part per trillion. Tourmaline Spring says the amount of PFAS in its bottled water is below the levels set by the IBWA and all states. Nestlé, which makes Deer Park, says that its most recent testing for the brand indicated undetectable levels of PFAS. All noncarbonated water that CR tested had heavy metal levels well below federal safety limits, with one exception: Starkey Spring Water owned by Whole Foods.

  • The World Health Organization Is Taking Cash Handouts from Junk Food Giants by Vigilant Citizen October 23, 2012
    The World Health Organization is Taking Cash Handouts from Junk Food Giants By Vigilant Citizen October 23, 2012 The World Health Organization (WHO) is the United Nationʼs “public health” arm and has 194 member states. While its official mission is “the attainment by all people of the highest possible level of health“, it is also clear that it works according to a specific agenda, one that laid out by the world elite and the organizations that are part of it. In the article entitled ‘Contagionʼ or How Disaster Movies “Educate” the Masses, weʼve seen how the WHO was involved in the promotion of mass vaccination campaigns following (bogus) disease scares, of civilian camps, of the bar-coding of individuals and so forth. More proof of the WHOʼs “elite bias” has been recently uncovered by a study: The organization has been taking hundreds of thousands of dollars from the worldʼs biggest pushers of unhealthy foods such as Coca-Cola, Nestlé and Unilever. It is relying on these companies for advice on how to fight obesity..é which is the equivalent of asking a drug dealer for advice on how stay off drugs and NOT buy his product. Coca-Cola, Nestlé and Unilever are not simply “food companies, they are gigantic conglomerates that produce and distribute an enormous proportion of processed foods across the world. In the article entitled Irrational Consumerism (or The Few Companies Who Feed the World), I described how only a few mega-conglomerates own most of the worldʼs brands of processed foods. To refresh your memory here are some of the brands

  • Nestlé Waters North America Becomes Bluetriton Brands
    Nestlé Waters North America Becomes BlueTriton Brands April 10, 2021 TRASH The following hype was sent out from a Nestle Waters North America URL and contains Nestle’s usual false statements meant to self-aggrandize its company. It appears BlueTriton Brands will continue the nefarious and destructive operations of Nestle as well as the misrepresentation of the facts. When Nestle owned the Ginnie Springs bottling plant near High Springs, they touted their “stewardship” and “sustainability” which was ludicrous since they were bottling water out of a failed and declining spring and river deemed “in recovery” by the Suwannee River Water Managing District. They cleverly worded their explanation of recycling in a way that was totally misleading and disingenuous. They are a company which takes and destroys and they are not a good neighbor. CEO Dean Metropoulos This sale further complicates the controversial Seven Springs water permit since that company has no product and produces nothing and Nestle/BlueTriton has nothing to do with that permit. BlueTriton CEO Dean Metropoulus is Greek-born billionaire who lives in Palm Beach, Florida. Comments by OSFR historian Jim Tatum. [email protected] – A river is like a life: once taken, it cannot be brought back © Jim Tatum Nestlé Waters North America Becomes BlueTriton Brands April 6, 2021 New Name Reflects the Company’s Exciting Milestone as an Independent Company The company formerly known as Nestlé Waters North America today announced that it has begun operating under a new corporate name, BlueTriton Brands (“BlueTriton” or the “Company”). This announcement follows the completion of its acquisition by One Rock Capital Partners, LLC (“One Rock”), in partnership with Metropoulos & Co., from Nestlé S.A., on March 31, 2021.
