Water is #1 in America!

NEW YORK (AP) — It wasn't too long ago that America had a love affair with soda. Now, an old flame has the country's heart. As New York City grapples with the legality of a ban on the sale of large cups of soda and other sugary drinks at some businesses, one thing is clear: soda's run as the nation's beverage of choice has fizzled. In its place? A favorite for much of history: Plain old H2O. For more than two decades, [...]

Just a few more benefits of filtered water…

1. Clean, Healthy Water The number of synthetic chemicals used in our society keeps increasing, and trace amounts of many of these chemicals are ending up in our drinking water because U.S. water treatment facilities don't have the capability to remove them. So far, over 2,100 chemicals have been detected in U.S. water systems. Bottled water is not the solution to the problem of contaminated drinking water. There are no government standards that require bottled water to be any better, purer [...]

Recycled Water in San Diego

Survey Shows Increased San Diego Support for Recycled Water; Desal Still Most Important. Support for adding treated, recycled water to the local drinking supply has grown significantly, but more San Diegans see desalination as the most important method of diversifying water resources, according to a survey presented today to the City Council's Natural Resources and Culture Committee. Support for recycled water use reached 73 percent in the survey of 400 San Diegans, taken by a consultant last June and July. In [...]

Wasteful Bottled Water..

No Bottled Water The environmental cost of the massive consumption of bottled water has led some U.S. and Canadian local governments to consider a ban its sale. While this seems an extreme response, the scientific concerns are well-founded, and the facts may surprise you. Fact #1. Bottles used to package water take over 1,000 years to bio-degrade and if incinerated, they produce toxic fumes. It is estimated that over 80% of all single-use water bottles used in the U.S. simply [...]

Are You Drinking Enough Water?

Water is the single most important beverage that there is.  Plain old water.  Yet, studies have shown that many of us aren’t drinking the amount of water that our bodies need to stay healthy and strong.  Lack of hydration can cause headaches, muscle cramps and even fatigue.  Being well hydrated can help with clearer skin, a more effective metabolism, and even can help you to eat less food – a great bonus if you are actively trying to lose [...]

Bottled water can zap zinc levels…

Choosing spring water over purified water could help prevent a dangerous deficiency.  According to Lawrence D. Wilson, M.D., author of Nutritional Balancing and Hair Mineral Analysis, the reverse osmosis-filtering process (which is used for bottled water that are labeled "purified") doesn't just remove harmful pollutants from the water, it removes zinc-an essential nutrient for the body.  Worse yet, reverse osmosis-filtered water actually "attaches" to the zinc that's already in the body and flushes it out.  Luckily, getting your eight [...]

Information on arsenic

When it comes to contaminant removal concerns in the U.S., arsenic is one of the first to come to mind. Prolonged exposure to this chemical element, oftentimes found in groundwater sources, can lead to cancer, so removing it from drinking water is a human health priority. A recent study found that treating arsenic in drinking water not only prevented health effects, it also helped reduce the effects of past exposure. The study, reported in Environmental Health News, was conducted in Bangladesh, which faces widespread arsenic contamination [...]

Some more information on Arsenic

Facts about arsenic What is arsenic and where did it come from, and why are we just hearing about it now? Arsenic is a naturally occurring mineral in groundwater. It is found in water all over the world as both As3 (arsenite) and As5 (arsenate). In Bangladesh it is truly a health crisis.1 In South America, 7,000-year-old Andean mummies showed the effects of arsenicosis (arsenic poisoning) from prolonged exposure to contaminated drinking water. Europe was the first to lower their arsenic [...]

Pollutants in our Water Supply…

According to research articles and news, most tap and well water in the U.S. now are not safe for drinking due to heavy industrial and environmental pollution. We have reached to a point that, all sources of our drinking water, including municipal water systems, wells, lakes, rivers, and even glaciers, contain some level of contamination. Contaminants range from naturally-occurring minerals to man-made chemicals and by-products. While many contaminants are found at levels not enough not to cause immediate discomforts [...]
