Is Spindrift Clean?
I get this question A LOT!!
A follower recently sent me this message:
I coached thousands of women for many years, and one thing I noticed over and over again was that when we cut out the bubbles—especially sparkling water—along with cleaning up their diets, bloating often improved dramatically.
That made me a believer in keeping carbonated drinks to a minimum. But I get it. Sometimes you want something a little more exciting than plain water.
The ingredients label looks clean — but there is actually more to the product than what is listed. Seems wrong, yes, but it is the reality of our processed food system.
Ingredient labels are designed to list ingredients intentionally added to a product. PFAS, on the other hand, are often considered contaminants that can come from sources such as:
Water used in manufacturing
Food-contact materials or packaging
Processing equipment
Environmental contamination of ingredients
Because they are not intentionally added ingredients, companies are generally not required to list them on the ingredient panel.
Is it clean? Hmm, kinda, but not really. It has PFAS - a forever chemical that messes with hormones and skin to name a few, but it is better than Perrier and La Croix —
Spindrift: contains 0.19 ppt PFAS
Perrier PFAS: 1.1 (Flavor: Natural Sparkling Mineral Water)
La Croix PFAS: 1.16 (Flavor: Natural Sparkling Water)
