In researching how to buy water filters and ionizers, one of the alarming facts uncovered is how much tap water is contaminated.
It is known that tap water contains chlorine and fluoride. Interestingly, the two top contaminants Americans are most concerned about in drinking water are lead and arsenic. However, what has not been so well known is the report written by the Environmental Working Group which has found that there are over 140 contaminants without safety limits in US drinking water.
Shockingly, these contaminants contain residues of birth control pills, anti-depressants, antibiotics, painkillers and shampoos which the population excretes into sewage treatment plants and are then flushed into our waterways. Combine this with the industrial and agricultural waste which include pesticides and herbicides, and urban waste which includes plasticizers, solvents, repellents and chemicals from cars and we are drinking a poisonous chemical cocktail.
The consequence of this lethal cocktail is drug-resistant bacteria, huge increases in estrogen resulting in low sperm count and deformities in fish. The most serious consequence is that the US population is being mass medicated without permission. There is enough evidence now to link Prozac with depression, schizophrenia and suicide.
More evidence that water filters and ionizers are an essential part of modern day living. Buying water filters and ionizers is no longer just a fad by the ‘Greenies’ but every day commonsense to protect the minds and bodies of ourselves and our children. So, buying a water filter may just save your life.
