You cannot leave without water. Drinking water out of Pet bottles and sachets has become the order of the day. Carrying water bottles is also a fashion. Film stars are also seen carrying water bottles along with them on their own and it has also become a style statement these days,
Water is the most essential commodity for sustaining life, and consuming more water at regular intervals has numerous health benefits, as it also helps with weight-loss. But using plastic bottles and that too not cleaned properly is not all good point out the experts.
For this purpose people mostly carry water in refillable plastic bottles, to have access to clean and safe drinking water on the move.
But a recent study suggests that drinking water out of a used plastic bottle is not as clean as it seems, in fact it’s almost like licking a toilet seat, which might want you to clean your bottle more often.
The study was conducted on screw-top, slide-top, squeeze-top and straw-top bottles, which were used by an athlete for a week without washing. It was discovered that a slide top bottle had the most bacteria, which was same as the bacteria on a toilet seat or pet bowl.
The study indicated that the proliferation of germs is caused on unwashed bottles due to a build up of swear, and the study also found that 60% of the bacteria could lead to health issues.
