No one should drink tap water!
Yes seriously!
I have been drinking tap all my life (for over 40 years) and I want to let you know straight forward truths and facts why you should not drink tap water.
#1 FLUORIDE
Fluoride is good for your teeth, but not for daily consumption inside your water! Yes! there are fluoride in your tap water. If you live in America, most public water treatment plants fluoridate the water while cleaning it. Most countries in Europe and other developed countries like Japan DOES NOT fluoridate their water.
#2 CONTAINS UP TO 260 DIFFERENT CONTAMINANTS
A two-and-a-half year analysis of more than 22 million tap water quality tests revealed there are up to 260 different contaminants inside tap or drinking water supplied to about 231 million Americans.
#3 CHLORINE
Chlorine is one of the most popular chemical used to purify water and kill bacteria. It is a very effective chemical. It is the chemical used to clean most swimming pools. It is the main ingredient for bleaching in products like Clorox. Chlorine is a toxic chemical and the human body was never intended to consume any level of chlorine.
#4 OLD PIPES
Tap water travels miles before reaching your home. Sometime tap water sits for long period of time in large water tanks / water tower before being delivered to your home. Imagine how much iron, dust, algae, and thousands of bacteria accumulate in tap water during its journey to your home. While trace elements of many metals such as magnesium and selenium are good for your body, others like lead and aluminum are deadly.
#5 PLASTIC AND PESTICIDES
In recent years... industrialization has wreck havoc in our environment. Two products in particular have tremendous effect on tap water quality.
Plastic. Humans' dependency or mass abuse of plastic has gone out of control ever since bottled water industry took-off. Littered plastic bottles are everywhere. But plastic do not degrade naturally and it takes up to 100 years for plastic to complete break down. Even worst during the break-down process it leaches harmful (cancer causing chemicals) all throughout its degeneration process. Why this is bad? Well imagine plastic liters buried deep inside giant waste dumps, what do you think happen to all those plastic once they are absorbed by the soil and seeps into ground water? How about the millions of plastic water bottles in the ocean? You don't think sea water will eventually cycles back to your drinking water? Think again!
Pesticide. Do I even need to explain this one? Farmers use more and more pesticides because bugs are becoming tolerant for them. So stronger and more toxic pesticides are constantly being produced. Pesticide not only gets absorbed in foods and vegetables we eat. They also gets absorbed into the ground, mixed with flowing underground aquifers and eventually into wells and fresh water sources which may be used by your city's water treatment plants. If you are drinking tap water, you can be certain there are traces of pesticides you are consuming everyday.
