If you consume bottled water multiple times, you may want to consider new methods for hydration in light of mounting evidence that chemicals found in bottled water<\/strong> may be harmful to your health.<\/h2>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”intro” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” text_text_color=”#3d5563″ text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.5em” header_2_font=”Open Sans|300|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#464f56″ header_2_font_size=”27px” header_2_line_height=”1.3em” header_3_font=”Open Sans|700|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#2d79ad” header_3_font_size=”29px” header_3_letter_spacing=”-1px” header_3_line_height=”1.3em” custom_margin=”|0px||” custom_margin_tablet=”|0px||0px” custom_margin_phone=”” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_padding=”0px||” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” text_line_height_tablet=”” text_line_height_phone=”1.6em” text_line_height_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_font_size_tablet=”30px” header_3_font_size_phone=”25px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

A team of German researchers<\/a> has identified a chemical in plastic drinking water bottles<\/strong> that can lead to serious health issues.<\/p>\n

This endocrine disrupting chemical, called di(2-ethylhexyl) fumarate (DEHF) is found in the plastic used in at least 18 bottled water brands.<\/p>\n

Just like the better-known BPA, DEHF interferes with hormonal systems to cause developmental and reproductive effects, and might also increase the risk of cancer, cardiovascular and metabolic disorders.<\/p>\n

This same study pointed out that traces of more than 24,000 chemicals were present in the water from the tested brands.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not to say that bottled water doesn\u2019t play an important role in our health.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”intro” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” text_text_color=”#3d5563″ text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.5em” header_2_font=”Open Sans|300|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#464f56″ header_2_font_size=”27px” header_2_line_height=”1.3em” header_3_font=”Open Sans|700|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#2d79ad” header_3_font_size=”29px” header_3_letter_spacing=”-1px” header_3_line_height=”1.3em” custom_margin=”|0px||” custom_margin_tablet=”|0px||0px” custom_margin_phone=”” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_padding=”0px||” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” text_line_height_tablet=”” text_line_height_phone=”1.6em” text_line_height_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_font_size_tablet=”30px” header_3_font_size_phone=”25px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n
