🚫 Think Glass Bottles Are Safe? Think Again. 🚫
If you’ve been choosing glass bottles over plastic thinking you’re avoiding toxins—here’s a harsh reality…
🧪 A new study out of France found that drinks in glass bottles contain 5 to 50 TIMES more microplastics than those in plastic bottles or cans. That includes your fancy mineral waters, sodas, beers, lemonades, and iced teas.
So where’s all the plastic coming from?
🔍 Two hidden culprits:
1️⃣ The paint on the outside of the metal caps – Tiny, invisible scratches from manufacturing and storage release plastic fragments directly into your drink.
2️⃣ The plastic lining inside the metal caps – Usually polyethylene or epoxy resin, used to prevent corrosion. Heat, friction, or pressure leach microplastics into the liquid.
Even “clean” drinks like sparkling mineral water or kombucha are affected. Glass isn’t as good as we thought.
💧 What About Mineral Water Brands?
Most major mineral water brands—even in glass—use plastic-lined caps. Brands like:
• Gerolsteiner (Germany)
• Mountain Valley Spring Water (USA)
• Vichy Catalan (Spain)
• ROI (Slovenia)
..all use twist-off metal caps with plastic linings. There’s no such thing (yet) as a mass-market bottled water that’s 100% plastic-free.
Even premium water = plastic exposure.
✅ What’s the Cleanest, Safest Option?
Ditch bottled water altogether.
The safest water you can drink doesn’t come from a store—it comes from your own home.
🔹 Filter your tap water with a high-quality multi-stage system (e.g., Pristine- see comments, Radiant Life, AquaTru).
🔹 Remineralize it with trace mineral drops Shilajit tar, Celtic sea salt, or a pinch of baking soda.
🔁 Bonus: Make Your Own Mineral Water
You can recreate nature’s best mineral waters by adding:
• Magnesium bicarbonate
• Trace mineral drops
• Sodium bicarbonate
• A splash of lemon or Shilajit tar (see comments)
🧠 Final Thoughts
We’re living in a world overloaded with toxins—from the food we eat to the water we drink. And the more you rely on industrial packaging, the more hidden plastics you’re consuming.
Be smarter than the label.
Just because it’s in glass doesn’t mean it’s clean.
Filter your water. Store it right. Remineralize.
And stop paying top dollar for bottled toxins.
Because your heart, brain, and body deserve better.
