| | Bottled Water: Better Than the Tap? |
| | Bottled water may be used as an ingredient in beverages, such as diluted juices or flavored bottled waters. | | | When fluoride is added to bottled water, the FDA requires that the term "fluoridated," "fluoride added," or "with added fluoride" be used on the label. | | | From a regulatory standpoint, the FDA describes bottled water as water that is intended for human consumption and that is sealed in bottles or other containers with no added ingredients, except that it may contain a safe and suitable antimicrobial agent. |

| | Hartford Advocate: What's in your Bottled Water? |
| | Bottled water is the fastest-growing segment of the beverage industry, and the product is expected to pass both coffee and milk to become the second-most-consumed beverage (behind soft drinks) by 2004. | | | A widening spectrum of bottled water types are crowding the market, including spring, mineral, purified, distilled, carbonated, oxygenated, caffeinated and vitamin-enriched, as well as flavored waters, such as lemon or strawberry, and specific brands aimed at children. | | | Most water bottles are made of the oil-derived polyethylene terephthalate, which is known as PET. |

| | NRDC: Bottled Water: Pure Drink or Pure Hype? |
| | The FDA's rules should apply to all bottled water distributed nationally or within a state, carbonated or not, and bottled water standards must be made at least as strict as those applicable to city tap water supplies. | | | In fact, about one-fourth of bottled water is actually bottled tap water, according to government and industry estimates (some estimates go as high as 40 percent). | | | The FDA also exempts carbonated water and seltzer, and fewer than half of the states require carbonated waters to meet their own bottled water standards. |

| | However, bottled water is most commonly sold in glass or disposable plastic bottles. | | | "Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink" from the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner is perhaps a fitting description of the attitude of many consumers living in urban areas today who are increasingly looking toward bottled water as a means of meeting some or all of their daily requirements. | | | While bottled water is widely available in both industrialised and developing countries, it may represent a significant cost to the consumer. |
