Incredible as it may seem arsenic in water is drunk by
millions in the US but if you sold arsenic in food you
would be arrested.
Arsenic is a toxic chemical contained in rocks, soil and
minerals and it is a by-product of many industrial and
agricultural compounds. The form which is in the ground is
not a problem but the chemically produced arsenic is a
killer.
Up to 12 percent of local area water supplies when tested
were found to contain arsenic. Although there is
legislation to deal with this, in most cases Federal and
State officials do not have the money to do much at all and
about one seventh of the US people use well water which
isn't covered at all!
Around the year 2000 the Environment Agency produced a
report of tests which showed that millions of US citizens
consumed arsenic in water higher than allowed levels.
This may seem bad enough but the report only covered around
40 per cent of public supplies. The actual number could be
much much higher!
A lot of people think that arsenic is just a poison which
kills you right away, well that's bad enough but arsenic is
also a carcinogen which means it can cause various types of
cancer including bladder, lung and skin cancer. People with
a poor immune system are even more at risk including
children, old people and women expecting a baby.
Arsenic is bad enough but research shows that it isn't the
only contaminant in our drinking water, bacteria and
viruses, insecticides and herbicides, heavy metals, farm
and industrial wastes are just some of the others.
Incredible isn't it? If any food contained even a tiny
fraction of this it would be banned immediately. But we ALL
drink water, so what the hell is going on?
This is because arsenic in water is so widespread and the
bill for cleaning it up is so huge.
Seriously, will you allow your family to go on risking
their health? I decided some time ago that I would take
action and fit a whole house water filter system which
would deal with most if not all contaminants.
Take action now, go to the site shown below to find out
what I discovered when I did some extensive research and
you can then no longer worry about arsenic in water.
