do you know what's in your water?

Whether it comes in a bottle or flows from the tap, the water you drink is at an ever-increasing risk of being full of dangerous and deadly toxins. Due to contamination from industrial chemicals, agricultural runoff, chlorine, fluorine, pesticides, sewage and many other pollutants present in the environment, finding pure, clean drinking water has become nearly impossible. While drinking enough water on a daily basis is essential for all cell and organ function, the quality of the water you drink is equally as important for overall health. Water that looks and tastes clean can be very deceiving.

From the Toilet to the Tap-

If you think your city's drinking supply is completely filtered, tested and safe to consume " think again! Although municipal water is treated for certain impurities, many of the allowable toxins and bacteria that remain can cause serious health problems. Even if it is relatively safe when it leaves the source, you still have to worry about contaminants such as lead and asbestos that can lurk in the pipes that lead to your home. And guess what? You still haven't even heard the worst part. Now, many cities across the U.S. are planning to put reclaimed sewage water back into the drinking supply for human consumption. That's right, the water from your toilet will essentially be filtered and sent back into your tap. If that alone is not enough to make you sick, pharmaceutical drugs and personal care products that are excreted or washed from the human body are now showing up in drinking water samples. Because tap water filtration standards are not designed to detect and filter out these deadly chemicals, everyone who drinks water is now at risk of being exposed to dangerous contamination.

The Bottled Water Myth-

Bottled water has very few federal filtration or disinfection requirements. The entire bottled water industry is virtually unregulated in comparison to tap water, yet it continues to grow at an astounding rate. Due to elaborate and expensive advertising campaigns and misleading labels, the bottled water industry has fooled the public into believing that their water is the best and cleanest that money can buy. Billions of dollars are being spent annually on overpriced bottled water, and most people don't even know where it originates. Many of the top selling brands just use water that is drawn from a local municipal source, bottle it, label it and put on the shelf. So in many cases, not only are you basically drinking tap water, approximately 90% of the cost is to pay for the bottle and the label. Don't ever assume that just because you purchase water in a bottle, it is better regulated, safer, or more pure than other water.

Filtered Water Isn't Perfect -

While many home purification methods provide a higher standard of filtration than municipal systems and commercial bottlers, most of them still do not produce the best possible water that you can put in your body. Not only do they lack some of the key elements involved in producing ideal water, they can end up being excessively expensive and wasteful. These methods of filtration can also strip the water of some of the precious minerals and nutrients that your body needs. Methods such as reverse osmosis work fairly well but are extremely costly, require regular maintenance, and can require up to six gallons of water to produce only one gallon of treated water. Home distillation systems, although effective, are very slow, expensive and remove all minerals from the water. Charcoal filters are initially less expensive, but they are also less effective and require frequent filter replacement. Over time, the cost of maintenance and replacement parts becomes very costly and not worth the hassle. While these and other home purification systems are better than nothing, they are still not producing the best possible water.
