TheTruth About Tap Water: Is It Safe To Drink?
We all know water is the basis for life, but have you ever stopped to think about what's really flowing out of your tap?
Here's the latest straight from the research.
Contaminants?
Oh yeah, from heavy metals like lead and mercury to nasty chemicals like pesticides and industrial runoff, tap water can be a real grab bag of unwanted surprises. And don't even get me started on fluoride and chlorine, the tag team champions of chemical additives. Do you really want to be guzzling down a cocktail of chemicals every time you're thirsty? I didn't think so.
Recent Findings in Australian Water
Recent studies have uncovered alarming levels of contaminants and carcinogens in Australian water supplies. These include:
PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances): Known as "forever chemicals," these have been linked to various cancers and other health issues.
Nitrate: Commonly found due to agricultural runoff, high levels of nitrate can increase the risk of certain cancers and other health problems.
Trihalomethanes (THMs): These carcinogenic byproducts form when chlorine used for disinfection reacts with organic matter in water.
Heavy Metals: Elevated levels of arsenic, cadmium, and lead have been detected, posing serious health risks.
Tap water is toxic! Even the mainstream media is now reporting on it - check out the links we've included on this post backing up the facts.
What about those pipes? You might not give them a second thought, but those old pipes in your neighborhood could be leaching all sorts of nasties into your water supply. Lead, copper, you name it. It's like a chemistry experiment happening right under your nose, and you're the unwitting test subject.
I'm here to offer some solutions because we all need to hydrate somehow. First off, consider investing in a quality water filtration system. Not all filters are created equal, so do your homework and find one that can tackle the specific contaminants in your area.
At Native Water, I help people get equipped with the best medical-grade water system in the world, complete with customized pre-filters. It's your best guard between you and those pollutants. Remember that health starts in the water you drink!
If you're on the go and bottled water is your go-to, think again. Sure, it might seem like the safer option, but those plastic bottles come with their own set of problems, like leaching chemicals, microplastics, and environmental waste. Opt for a reusable glass bottle instead. The environment will thank you, and so will your wallet in the long run.
Ready to invest in a home water distillation system? Nothing beats the pure, crisp taste of hydrogenized and alkaline H2O straight from the source.
When it comes to quenching your thirst, don't settle for second best. Your body deserves the best, and that means steering clear of the tap whenever possible.
Stay hydrated, stay healthy, and keep on keeping on.
