RESEARCH

Most people do not realize that many toxic substances are colourless and odourless and are either put into the water supply or come from industrys, farms, businesses, homes and waste water.

It is then mildly treated by the water board then travel through 200 year old pipes that also leach heavy metals plus all the built up sludge etc, before it reaches the pipes in your environment, that also leach substances, then it finally reaches our taps.

Some of these substances make us very sick (cryptosporidium, e-coli bacteria, etc) while others (pesticides, heavy metals, herbicides, mercury, chlorine, fluoride, etc)  build up in the body and brain and cause a multitude of physical and mental problems through time.

When you have high quality fine filters like reverse osmosis, they stop these toxic substances from entering our bodies. 

Chlorination Facts

Chlorine, a non-flammable, poisonous gas, is a major industrial chemical. Although classified as non-flammable, many combustibles will ignite in chlorine, creating toxic byproducts. Chlorine vapors, heavier than air, will remain close to the ground and expand rapidly when released, creating a very hazardous atmosphere.

When you open the door of your dishwasher after washing, toxic volatile chlorine from dish detergent and tap water is released into the air.

Cancer-causing chemicals like chlorine found in many household products are readily absorbed through the skin.

Pregnant women in their first trimester who drink five or more glasses of chlorinated tap water a day may be at a much higher risk of miscarriage than women who drink non-chlorinated water.

TOXIC WATER

Chlorinated Water - Not Fit For Human Consumption

Experts have concluded after examination of 10 previous studies of the cancer-causing problems of chlorinated water,

"There is a clear pattern between consumption of chlorinated water and rectal and bladder cancer." It is projected that by the year 2015 the combined death rate from bladder, rectal and pancreatic cancer will exceed the lung cancer death rates due to carcinogens in water and food.

"There was a higher incidence of cancer of the oesophagus, rectum, breast, and larynx and of Hodgkins Disease among those drinking chlorinated surface waters."

"Conservative calculations indicate that inhalation exposures can be as significant as exposure from drinking the water, that is, one can be exposed to just as much by inhalation during a shower as by drinking 2 litres of water a day."

“As chlorine is added to kill pathogenic micro-organisms, the highly reactive chlorine combines with fatty acids and carbon fragments to form a variety of toxic compounds, which comprise about 30% of the chlorination by-products.

" Epidemiological studies began to suggest a link between ingestion of toxic chemicals in the water and elevated cancer mortality risks.

"The cause of atherosclerosis and resulting heart attacks and strokes is none other than the ubiquitous chlorine in our drinking water."

The combination of chlorine (when in drinking water) and animal fats results in atherosclerosis, heart attacks, and death."

"In the vast majority of cases where germ-free water is required whether for public supply, or in the swimming pool, the process of disinfection will involve the use of chlorine in one form or another."

"Chlorine is the greatest crippler and killer of modern times. While it prevented epidemics of one disease, ill was creating another. After the start of chlorinating our drinking water the present epidemic of heart trouble, cancer and senility began."

"Cancer risk among people drinking chlorinated water is 93% higher than among those whose water does not contain chlorine."

"Drinking tap water that is chlorinated is hazardous, if not deadly to your health."
