The EPA Tap Water Cover-up

Municipal (Tap) water suppliers are quick to point out that they are regulated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and, because of that regulation, tap water is safe to drink.

Nothing could be farther from the truth.

The EPA merely sets arbitrary standards for contaminants in tap water and then tests against those minimum levels of contaminants.

But there is no scientific proof that the EPA standards are safe for your body. No one has assessed the medium and long term damage for lead, copper, arsenic, pesticides,MTBE, rocket fuel and other poisons permitted in tap water by EPA standards. And, the EPA has not even established testing standards for pharmaceuticals that are freely dumped into our water supply.

No wonder tap water smells and tastes terrible.

Go to the EPA home page and see for yourself. It makes interesting reading if you investigate it thoroughly.

As an alternative to contaminated tap water try purified water.

Is Water Important for Health?

Pure water is health - it's as critical as that. Without water you will die and without pure water you will die from a number of ailments.

Nothing kills life quicker than the lack of water. Those with the worst health conditions drink less water than healthier people. Asthma is a condition resulting from lack of water. Cancer and heart disease can be traced to a lack of pure water. Water is not only harmful from municipal water sources but also can be harmful if it passes through corrosive water pipes. City dwellers need to investigate sources of purified water in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Check your city’s water source. You could be drinking chlorinated sewer water that contains lead, copper or other harmful elements it picks up from residential water pipes!

Think of your family in addition to yourself. Children are particularly sensitive to contaminated water as are the elderly.

Drink purified water for your health!

Does Your Body Get Minerals From Water?

Many proponents of tap and spring water point out that the minerals contained in their water are necessary for health because the minerals (like calcium) are necessary and are absorbed by the body.

Nothing could be farther from the truth! As Dr. Andrew Weil points out, minerals are non soluble and are absorbed from the food we eat, not the water we drink. Dr. Weil further explains that the best water to drink is purified water using a steam distillation process.

Tap water, no matter what the proponents claim, is loaded with harmful contaminants like chlorine, fluoride, lead, arsenic and pharmaceuticals. It smells bad, tastes bad and poses a threat to your health.
