TaPP Water Essay
Just as Bad or Worse than Bottled Water
There are many reasons tap water is not a good choice for drinking. There is a long list of known toxins in tap water, many of which are "supposedly" at safe levels according to the EPA, but who would want ANY amount of level of a known carcinogen in their water, even if it was a small amount? This list of chemicals in tap water includes chlorine, fluoride, heavy metals, radioactivity, herbicides, pesticides, insecticides, fertilizers, a long list of over the counter and pharmaceutical drugs, preservatives, stimulants, hormones, detergents, solvents, paints, industrial waste products, sewage, disinfectants and much much more. Let's start with Chlorine and Fluoride
Chlorine was supposed to make our water safer and free of bugs. It is true that it does kill much of the bacteria (but bacteria are mutating and becoming more and more resistant), but it kills us too! Chlorine gas is so toxic that it was used in the war to burn up the lungs of our enemy. Chlorine also combines with many organic compounds to create chemicals such as PCB’s, chloroform, chloramines, DDT and Dioxin . Another side note is that many of these chlorinated compounds like DDT can mimic certain hormones in your body (DDT mimics estrogen) and this can create a tremendous hormonal imbalance. DDT is called a pseudo-estrogen and it worsens PMS and menopause. Other such compounds create sterility in men (which is currently higher than it has ever been). Chlorine also mimics Iodine (because it is in the same family as Iodine on the periodic table) and creates thyroid problems. Chlorine also has been shown to combine with fat and cholesterol to produce arterial plaques and hardening of the arteries. Finally Chlorine is one of the most potent free radicals and free radicals have been theorized as the root cause of ALL diseases. Now the chlorine and the chlorinated compounds found in tap water alone should be reason enough to never drink it or bath in it again.
The next outrage came with the addition of fluoride to our water. The real reason fluoride is in our water is NOT because its good for our teeth, but rather because the aluminum and fertilizer industry creates tons and tons of fluoride as part of its waste product. They found that if they could sell this fluoride for only pennies a pound, they could make several millions of dollars a year. They used a flawed study in two towns (Kingston and Newburgh) to support the absurd notion that fluoride prevents tooth decay. The truth is that study after study has shown that cities that fluoridate their water actually have higher incidences of tooth decay. The real reason is money – plain and simple. Let us listen to what Dr. Dean Burke, former chief biochemist of the National Institute of Cancer, has to say about fluoridation – “We’ve now had time to look at fluoridation and see its effects on human health and we know it’s a killer. Any institution who supports fluoridation is guilty of mass murder”. Powerful words spoken from a chief biochemist for the National Institute of Cancer. Dr. Burke and others estimate that about 50,000-75,000 cases of cancer each year are linked to the chlorine and fluoride in tap water.
But believe it or not it gets worse. Tap water (briefly) also has heavy metals like lead and mercury. Heavy metal poisoning has been linked to cancer and many diseases such as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. Heavy metals weaken the immune system and have been shown to protect harmful bacteria and candida from antibiotics making them (the antibiotics) ineffective. As a side note chelation therapy is an effective way to remove heavy metals- but it can be expensive. An inexpensive and effective alternative is fresh cilantro – juiced, in soups or in salads. Cilantro has been shown in studies to effectively remove most heavy metals. Another toxic addition to our tap water is radioactive waste such as uranium, radium, radon and heavy hydrogen. Radioactive elements cause cancer, genetic mutation and birth defects. If that were not enough our water contains herbicides, pesticides, insecticides and fertilizers. Also did you know that raw sewage returns back to the water treatment plant and finds its way back into your drinking water. Even worse is the tremendous amounts of cow manure being released into our environment and filtering into our ground water (this is why people drinking well water should invest in a good water purification system). fertilizers, a long list of over the counter and pharmaceutical drugs, preservatives, stimulants, hormones, detergents, solvents, paints, industrial waste products, sewage, disinfectants and much much more.
