SpainIn Spain, 67% of citizens prefer tap water over bottled water, according to Aqualia's Sustainable Behaviors Barometer, though 41% avoid it due to taste preferences. This makes Spain the sixth-largest consumer of bottled water globally. Juan Carlos Novo, CEO of Spanish water filter brand Alkanatur, discusses on the podcast 'La Hoguera' the potential health risks of consuming bottled water exposed to heat during transportation and storage. He warns that high temperatures can cause plastic molecules to break down and migrate into the water, releasing harmful substances like bisphenol A and phthalates.

He advocates for filtered tap water as a safer alternative, emphasizing the importance of using natural filtration systems such as activated carbon or zeolite to remove toxins while preserving essential minerals.
