IS TAP WATER SAFE?

The FDA and EPA along with other federal and state agencies are spending millions of dollars setting “safe” level limits for microorganisms, disinfectants, disinfectant by-products, organic and inorganic chemicals, and radioactive particles in water.  Why? Because these contaminants exist in our water supplies, and the list is growing daily. 

Often the “safe” levels are based on practicality, so waivers are issued to prevent shut downs of public water supplies.

We either filter out these poisons prior to consumption, or we force our bodies to become the filters.

Examples of the health effects they list include:

• Increased risk of cancer

• Liver, kidney, central nervous system problems

• Circulatory system problems

• Gastrointestinal illnesses

• Legionnaire’s disease (a form of pneumonia)

The EPA lists 90 potential contaminants found in US water supplies on their water web site (click READ MORE below).
