Tap Water is a Fraud

Municipal tap water is a fraud. Read the EPA reports and after the hype look at what chemicals are in the water you drink. Also note the caveats and warnings to children , the elderly and those with challenged immune systems. Also the general warning about the deadly cryptosporidium and now pharmaceuticals.

Now rocket fuel and gasoline additives are seeping into municipal water.

Municipal water treatment technology was developed in the early 1900's and does not address modern industrial pollution. The chlorine used to kill deadly bacteria is a poison itself and smells and tastes terrible. Read the EPA reports closely and you be the judge.

Bottled water that uses tap water with the chlorine filtered out is also a fraud on the consumer as is most spring water that is subject to ground water pollution like tap water.

Purified water is the only water to drink because it is required by the FDA to be 100% pure and it tastes good.

Four Facts About Bad Water

Polluted water has killed more people than most any other health threat.

Some Facts to Note:

  • More than 20,000 people die each day around the world from disease caused by polluted water or no water at all.
  • The absence of clean drinking water and sanitation is one of the biggest causes of death and loss of human productivity throughout the world.
  • Three to four of every five children in the world die because of polluted water diseases such as dysentery, cholera and malaria.
  • Purified water is 99.9% pure and could save many lives if distributed properly.
I have had malaria and it is no joke. You never really recover from it and polluted water is the cause.

Tap Water is Poison

Notwithstanding the slick brochures of municipal tap water agencies, a casual review will show you how unhealthy tap water really is.

The EPA regulates tap water sanitation plants and sets "allowable levels" of poison in the water. Long term exposure to these poisons and harmful elements can be deadly.

Plus, now pharmaceutical waste has been found in tap water and the water companies knew about this all along.

As a last reminder, the EPA only tests water at the source and ignores dangerous metals like lead and copper that are found in many home water pipes.

The municipalities also cover up large amounts of bacteria with chlorine that smells bad and makes the water taste like a well used public swimming pool.

Lots of luck if you drink tap water.
