Seriously, Your Water IS Contaminated

There is NO question about it, the water we drink is definitely
contaminated and we should be aware that our reservoirs may be public
health hazards.

It's not just our tap water at home that is polluted; all the water
we filter, even through our municipal filtration plants, is
contaminated. This observation may apply to our reservoirs as well and
that makes for a fairly grim picture. What is anyone doing about it?

To the credit of those who govern our water supplies, they are
attempting to keep them clean. Unfortunately, politics plays a fairly
large role in why we don't have the kind of pristine water we really
should have. Witness big manufacturing plants that dump things into the
water that pollute it and then spend years trying to get out of
penalties for pollution. Witness also the government that prosecutes
them giving them "extra time" to get things cleaned up, while in the
meantime, pollution continues to pour in our waterways.

The problem is, there is too much money to be made by ignoring or
circumventing rules and regulations and whether or not we have clean
drinking water isn't a concern to those who pollute. Before you drink
another glass of undistilled water, consider the risks you face every
time you take a drink.

Chloramine and/or straight chlorine is one of the leading links to
causing cancer. It's only recently that scientists have finally figured
out what long-term exposure to chlorine really means and the results
aren't that pretty. Sure chlorine is touted as a "necessary" bad thing
to keep the evil crud at bay in our water.

It kills things we don't even want to think about being in our
water. The truth here is that chlorine and its by-products, no matter
what you want to call them, encourage the production of free radicals
in our bodies. These in turn cause cell damage, not to mention heart
disease.

But, it's not just chlorine we need to be worried about. We need to
be aware that for every sip we take of undistilled water, that we may
be swallowing the residue of other people's drugs, both prescription
and street drugs. Think birth control pills and sex hormones,
antibiotics, heart medications, anti-inflammatories and other
experimental drugs that flopped during their drug trials.

Where do all the chemicals wind up? In reservoirs and in other above
ground systems. There is no way that our aging public treatment
facilities are capable of being able to remove all these man-made
chemicals from our water. That means it ultimately winds up in our taps.

Isn't there another way to get good drinking water? The only water
purification system capable of providing the purest, freshest water is
distillation; the only process that ensures water is clean and safe to
drink. No other water purification method is as effective as
distillation.
