You’re drinking bottled water.
Of course, the importance of staying properly hydrated cannot be undersold. But if your vessel of choice for H2O is plastic water bottles, you might be damaging your body without realizing it.
“If you are drinking bottled water, you are ingesting microplastics that come off the bottle and its plastic cap,” says Li. “Some studies estimate the average person consumes up to 100,000 plastic particles a year from bottled water and other foods packed in plastic. Drink water that is bottled in glass or from a clean well.”
