Americans go through billions of water bottles every year, but is one brand of bottled water “better” for you than another?


Holly, a mom in Westville, Ohio, set out to answer that important question: “What do you THINK you are drinking? You might want to re-evaluate. Cancer thrives in an acidic environment. We wanted to share with you an experiment that we did with bottled water to see what we REALLY ARE paying for. Hope this helps you and your family.”

With the help of her son Carson, Holly lined up seven different brands of bottled water on the kitchen counter, plus a glass of water straight from her kitchen tap.


Using pH paper test strips (which can be found at your local drugstore or Walmart), the mother-son duo conducted a fascinating science experiment to test the pH of all of the bottles and see if they’re either alkaline or acidic. “As we know, acidity causes cancer,” Holly says.

Holly uploaded her H2O project to Facebook in January of 2016. It has since been shared nearly 40,000 times!
