By Wendy Korn Heppt for Live Right Live Well Ouch -- you wore sunscreen and you still fried! The truth is, most people don’t use enough sunscreen or don’t apply it properly.

Ads suggest it’s pure H2O, implying that it’s less contaminated by pollutants than what flows from the tap. But recent tests commissioned by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), a nonprofit environmental organization based in Washington, D.C., show that 10 bestselling brands of bottled water contained “a surprising array of chemical contaminants...at levels no different from those found in tap water.” A total of 38 different contaminants were found, ranging from bacteria and fertilizers to drugs and industrial chemicals.
