Hydrated Mineral Water

Some people still think that tap water is sufficient to drink, however they would be interested to find out that city tap water is not Pure drinking water.  While the city does a great job in delivering water to its many residents,  if you read your city “Water Quality Report” it would shock you to find out what comes out of your faucet.  The report would start out like this…”All drinking water, including bottled water may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants.” and then it would go onto list such things like, viruses, bacteria, livestock, wildlife, and human feces and pharmaceuticals from sewage treatment plants, oil, gas, pesticides, herbicides and arsenic just to name a few.  To combat these contaminants the city then treats the water with chemicals such as Chlorine and Fluoride which have been proven in itself to have a number of negative health effects on humans such as shutting down the thyroid gland thus creating “Hypothyroidism” which is on the rise.  The city goes on to say “the presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk” and then promptly gives a warning that “people with weakened immune systems, the elderly and infants can be particularly at risk from infection if they consume this water”.  It also states that the treatments made to our tap water is toxic to fish.  I know this to be true as I recently had several beautiful fish die after placing them in tap water for just a short while.  (What was I thinking)? It is ultimately up to you and me to  make our water pure and healthy again. Unless you have some kind of an in-house filtration system it is not fit to consume, let alone bathe in as our skin works like a sponge soaking up water and chemicals alike.  It is easy to take water for granted but when we really stop to think about it, water quality is detrimental to our health.
