There’s lead in our drinking water.

Lead is just one of the estimated thousands of toxic chemicals that can be found in our drinking water. The Ralph Nader Research Institute, after a prolonged study, has estimated that up to 2100 toxic chemicals, some known to cause cancer, can be in our municipal drinking water supplies.

Did you know that the rate of cancer in our society has risen from 1 in 50 in the early 1900s to 1 in 3 today?

Do you think that toxic chemicals, including lead, in our drinking water could have anything to do with it?

But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s a short video about lead in kids drinking water.

And if the video scares you then check out the worlds best water filters.

Did you know that our bodies are 70% water? So do you think the quality of the water we drink affects our health?

Yes that’s right,  our bodies are 70% water believe it or not. Why don’t we all run down the drain? Who knows.

But it makes you think doesn’t it? Actually our brain if over 75% water and our livers 95%.

And our nerves are like little rivers, made up mainly of water too, and it’s believed that the signals that travel along our nerves, from our brain and other organs, are essential to our well being. If our nerves don’t transmit the signals properly many scientists believe, we get sick in one way or another.

And there’s so much evidence that our drinking water is contaminated by so many toxins. And when we drink our water (unless we drink high quality filtered water or water purified in some way) those toxins get into our bodies, and could well result in some problem with our nerves transmitting those signals.

Contaminants like lead for example. A cumulative toxin that, once it gets into our bodies remains there. And there’s clear evidence that there is lead in much of our drinking water.

The Ralph Nader Institute estimates that there are up to 2100 toxic chemicals in our drinking water.

Herbicides, pesticides, heavy metals, antibiotics, hormones, industrial chemicals, chlorine and all sorts of other contaminants that have long chemical names that you couldn’t even pronounce.

It’s extremely scary.

Drinking water contamination is considered by many to be one of the major causes of disease in our society. After all if you’re drinking all that stuff it’s hard to imagine that it COULDN’T affect us. It just makes sense that drinking contaminated water must affect our bodies and make us sick.

So what do you do about it? There are some excellent water filtration systems available. You’ve probably heard of all sorts of different types of water purification methods. They include reverse osmosis, charcoal filtration,  ceramic water filtration, water distillation, ultraviolet and magnetic filtration, ionized water filtration, bottled water and more.

They all have disadvantages and advantages. However it seems clear on balance that Aquasana Water Filters are the best water filters you can get. That is one of the reasons why they have been voted the best buy by Consumers Digest magazine for 5 of the last 7 years.

The cost of water filtration or water purification is minimal compared to your health.  Aquasana water filters provide the cleanest water it’s possible to get for around 9 cents a gallon, way cheaper than just about any other form of water purification. Read the rest of this entry
