Drinking Water Can Ruin Your Health

How can you ruin your health with water?  When drinking bottled beverages of any kind or when drinking straight from your tap, you are consuming dozens, if not hundreds of chemical compounds.  Many of which are known to cause cancer.

Is Freshwater really 'fresh'?

The risk of chemicals in freshwater supplies around the world has been evaluated by some of today’s top scientists.  Those scientists do not agree with what the US Environmental Protection Agency feels is “safe”.

One researcher said that the danger has been greatly underestimated, because it does not take into account what will happen when water is heated for bathing, cooking or cleaning.  What will happen is that the chemicals become airborne.  They are inhaled and absorbed through the skin.

How Dangerous is Your Shower?
 
The EPA has maintained for years that the risk is primarily due to consumption, through drinking or cooking.  Several studies have now been published indicating that the risk from showering is even greater, because more of the chemicals end up in the person’s bloodstream.

The only practical solution is to advise consumers to install a point of use filtration system at the home level.  It is the only practical solution, because many of the dangerous cancer-causing chemicals are there for a reason.  They kill illness-causing pathogens.

So, you can ruin your health with water that has been disinfected in order to protect you from disease.  It seems like a contradiction, but it is true. 

How to Make Your Water Safer

What should have been normal practice is to disinfect and then add a granular carbon step to remove the disinfectants.  But, the granular carbon step can only be installed at the home level.  Homeowners would need to be aware of how often the filters needed to be changed or maintained; as time goes by, perhaps the practice will become commonplace.

But, right now, it is important for us to spread the word about how you can ruin your health with water that has not been purified with granular carbon.  If people are not concerned about staying healthy, tell them what chlorine and other chemicals do to their appearance.

Skin Care and Home Water Connection

Research has shown that these chemicals strip the oil from the skin and hair.  The hair becomes brittle.  They will have split ends.  If they have color-treated hair, the chemicals will affect the color, often changing it to a strange shade of orange or green.

Chlorine and other chemicals cause dry skin and contribute to acne.  So, not only can you ruin your health with water that has not been purified, you can ruin your appearance, too.

What to Do Now

There are several different kinds of filters to choose from.  You can install individual filters on the faucets and showerheads in your home or you can choose a whole house design.

Whether you choose the individual or the whole house model, be sure that granular carbon is used.  It is the only effective method for removing chemicals.  Reverse osmosis does not work.

You cannot ruin your health with water that has been purified in your home.  In fact, it is the safest and healthiest beverage you can drink.
