The truth behind the pretty face- Clear Plastic


We drink out of the material i like to call "Clear Plastic". It seems helpful, thanks to its holding properties, But is it helping, or diminishing? You are about to find out. Believe it or not, around 60% of a plastic water bottle is made out of EDTA, a toxic chemical used in most plastics. Even if you buy the purest and cleanest water, and it is in a clear plastic bottle, you will still receive a dosage of EDTA. EDTA is a type of led, as you may know, led is not good to eat, or drink. How it goes into the water seems impossible, but true. When the liquid is but into the bottle, the EDTA starts to slowly dissolve into the liquid, especially into hot or warm liquids. It is a tiny dosage, but over time it biuldes up, and sticks to your bones, weakning them, and you can end up having bad illnesses of any kind. I hope this changes your view on water bottles and "clear plastic"
