There Is Poison in Your Drinking Water!

Consider this quote: "U.S. drinking water contains more than 2,100 toxic chemicals that can cause cancer." So said Ralph Nader of the Ralph Nader Research Group. By the way, water utilities test for only about 75 of these. This article will focus on just one of these toxins found in most public water, chlorine.

When I was a kid, I won a fish at the carnival. I was thrilled! The first think I had to do, of course, was to buy a larger tank and fill it with tap water. Yet, so as not to kill my trophy, I had to treat water with some de-chlorinating tablets. Question: if fish will die in chlorinated water, why do we think it's OK for us to drink it? Yet, shocking as this may seem, the acceptable level of chlorine in some water systems is above the maximum recommended for swimming pools!

Let's not give chlorine a bad rap. It is an excellent disinfectant, ridding water of bacteria such as dysentery, typhoid, and cholera. The problem is that chlorine damages the human body by producing THMs (trihalomethanes). These are cancer causing and damage cells. Chlorine also can score the internal walls of arteries, making it easier for cholesterol to attach itself. Mississippi River drinking water has been shown to contain 63 cancer causing substances made by chlorine's reaction to pollutants in the water such as methanol and carbon disulphide. An increase in the cases of bladder, urinary tract, and kidney cancers have been reported following the infusion of extra chlorine to treat a city water system contamination.

Drinking chlorinated water is only part of the problem. An even greater risk of chlorine poisoning occurs in the shower! The hot water, combined with steam, causes the body to take in far more chlorine than it would with just drinking water. Steam can contain up to 20 times the concentration of chlorine that tape water has because it evaporates at a lower temperature than water. The result is chloroform gas in the air that may cause bronchitis, asthma, and a greater risk of cancer. Further, the open pores take in chlorine causing skin irritations such as eczema. That is why many have purchased shower water filters for protection.

This is all shocking news to parents! After all, children's bodies are much more susceptible to chemical changes as described above. What conscientious parents want to poison their child?

So how can people be sure of giving themselves and their family safe water? A popular option is to purchase bottled water. The problem with this is that, unless you know the source, it could be an unwarranted trust. The fact is, there are no federal regulations concerning bottled water. A company may promise fresh spring water on the label, but pour tap water inside. Yes, to do so is not breaking the law, and it is being done today. So, obviously, pouring money into bottled water is not the answer.

To be sure your water is safe, it is best to filter it yourself. This can be done at a minimum of cost. Start with something to filter your drinking and cooking water, like the Berkey Water Filter. Be sure the company promises their product will remove chlorine. Such promises are regulated by federal laws. Don't think of it as an expense, but an investment in the peace of mind that you are giving your family good, healthy water.
