| Who
Says Tap Water Is Unhealthy?
"Each
day, millions of Americans turn on their taps and get water that
exceeds the legal limits for dangerous contaminants."
USA Today, Special Report "How
Safe Is Your Water?"
"Cancer
risk among people drinking chlorinated water is as much as 93% higher
than among those whose water does not contain chlorine."
U.S. Council Of Environmental Quality
"We
have known for a long time that chloramines can trigger, rather
than cause asthma.
Ralph Riley, head of the National Pool Water Treatment Advisory
Group
"Each
day in America, about 30 cases of rectal cancer may be associated
with THMs (chlorination by products) in drinking water."
Natural Resources Defense Council
"U.S.
drinking water contains more than 2100 toxic chemicals that can
cause cancer."
Ralph Nader Research Group
"Drinking
water plants are old and out of date, and water supplies are increasingly
threatened and contaminated by chemicals and micro-organisms."
Natural Resources Defense Council
"The
way we guarantee safe drinking water is broken and needs to be fixed."
Carol Browner, U.S. EPA Chief
"The
risk of disease associated with public drinking water has passed
from the theoretical to the real."
Dr. David Ozonoff, Boston University of Public Health
"More
than 45 million Americans drank water supplied by systems where
the unregulated and potentially deadly contaminant, Cryptosporidium,
was found in their raw or treated water."
Natural Resources Defense Council
"Drinking
water in the U.S. is among the top four public health risks posed
by environmental problems."
Former EPA Administrator, William K. Reilly
"Residues
of 39 pesticides and their degradation products have been detected
in the groundwater of thirty four states."
National Academy of Sciences
"35%
of the reported gastrointestinal illnesses among tap water drinkers
were water related and preventable."
Center For Disease Control Researchers
"USA
Today; There's no telling precisely how many Americans get sick
each year from drinking bad water... I would say that the cases
we learn about are the tip of the iceberg."
Deborah Levy; Waterborne - disease Expert, Center for Disease Control
"Weed
killers were found in tap water of 28 out of 29 cities tested...
the results of these tests reveal widespread contamination of tap
water with many different pesticides at levels that present serious
health risks... we estimate that 45,000 infants in these 29 cities
drank infant formula reconstituted with tap water contaminated with
multiple weed killers."
Environmental Working Group report, "Weed Killers By The Glass"
"Each
year in the U.S., lead in drinking water contributes to 480,000
cases of learning disorders in children and 560,000 cases of hypertension
in adult males."
U.S. EPA Report summary.
"Lead
is the number one environmental health threat to our children."
U.S. EPA
"The
one thing we know for sure about toxins in our drinking water, is
that the more we look... the more we find."
Jacquelyn Warren, Council for the Natural Resources Defense Council
And
the list goes on and on!
The
fact is that today in our industrialized society we use over 75,000
toxic chemicals, and over 1000 new ones are developed each year.
We have learned the hard way that any chemical we use will eventually
wind up in the water we drink... there is no "new water," our planet
just keeps reusing and recycling the same water over and over. Our
water treatment plants are not designed to remove these synthetic
chemicals, and as a result we find traces of health threatening
contaminants in most of our public water supplies.
70
years ago, before we had this multitude of chemical compounds in
our environment, 1 in 50 people could expect to get cancer in their
life time... today, 1 in 3 Americans... 1 in 2 males, will become
cancer statistics! Cancer is a man made disease, and almost completely
preventable. The purity of our water is one of the most important
factors in the prevention of degenerative disease. With the risk
so great and the solution so simple... why take the chance? In-home
water filtration is the easiest, most effective and most economical
means of providing safe, healthy water for you and your family.
