Guest guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 I agree there is no one looking out for our best interest. Now more than ever we must inform ourselves. Read from various places and come to our own conclusions on what we feel is safer for us. Water is unfortunately becoming more and more contaminated. You find how to filter one thing and another shows up or is added to it. In a limited sampling of fewer than one hundred utilities, NRDC found that more than 45.6 million Americans drank water supplied by systems where the unregulated and potentially deadly contaminant cryptosporidium was found in their raw or treated water.[19] Hundreds of chemicals and microbes have been detected in drinking water supplies throughout the country, yet tests are required for just over a hundred of these.[20] http://www.nrdc.org/health/kids/ocar/chap7.asp A recent report published by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) found that about 4.3 million Americans in 245 communities are exposed to levels of carcinogenic herbicides in drinking water that exceed the EPA's benchmark of acceptable cancer risk (one case in a population of a million).[27] Commonly used agricultural herbicides contaminate the tap water of 374 Midwestern towns. Over ten million Americans in the Midwest and Chesapeake Bay region are exposed to carcinogenic herbicides in their drinking water. In addition, mixtures of herbicides were found in tap water: one sample from a suburb of Cincinnati contained ten different herbicides and metabolites, and samples from five other towns in Ohio and Illinois contained six or more herbicides and metabolites.

Pardon my skepticism, but I've long ago dropped the idea that anyone is protecting our interests, so I wonder who is on the " don't drink the bottled water campaign " ? Which also is same question as who cares that people get flouride to protect our teeth? I can never find a satisfactory answer to what is healthy water. Water is the great solvent and will absorb whatever it is around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 I do not think there is a perfect system yet. We do our best to be as safe as possible. I use the aquasana. We remove one thing and find there is more that nees to be cleaned. The one I use leaves the minerals. . Dragonfly ... Breaks illusions, Brings visions of power, No need to prove it, Now is the hour!

The more devoid it is of 'stuff', the more absorbent it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
