The Health Effects of Drinking Water Contamination
U.S. drinking water contains more than 2,100 toxic chemicals that can cause cancer.
--Ralph Nader Research Institute
The causes of tap water contamination are many, ranging from agricultural runoff to improper use of household chemicals and everything in between. Few of us realize the extent or impact of these low level synthetic chemicals in the water we use.
Bottled Water
The reality of bottled water is that you pay from $1 to $4 a litre for the perception of higher quality, when in fact the quality of bottled water is at best an unknown. Quality home water treatment is by far the most economical, the most convenient and the best way to produce truly healthy, great-tasting water. It is also the right choice environmentally!
Who Says Tap Water Is Unhealthy?
An examination of 65 of the 3,000 largest utilities found that cities such as Philadelphia, Boston, New York City, Providence; R.I., and Portland, Maine., are "manipulating the results of tests used to detect lead in water, violating federal law and putting millions of Americans at risk," The Washington Post reported. More than 250 major cities currently exceed the EPA's lead standards, and many of them have been deceptive, or even fraudulent, in their reporting of the problems.
How Much Water Should I Drink?
An increased intake of pure water will enhance virtually every aspect of better health.
For years we have been told that we should drink a "minimum" of 8 eight ounce glasses of water each day. If the goal is to maintain a minimum level of health this eight glass rule is correct. If the goal is to achieve an enhanced level of health, we must consume some level of water above our minimum daily needs.
