If it’s safe to be drinking water with toxic chemicals in it, drugs, chlorine, mercury, lead and other items to awful to contemplate, then that’s a pretty strange definition of safe. Mostly, when the government talks about safe water these days it’s a relative term. Safe usually means that the stuff in it that has the potential to kill you shouldn’t be “too” bad because it’s below a certain accepted level. Where many consumers are coming from, there is no such thing as an accepted level. Not safe to drink means not safe to drink – period. Safe to drink only means water that comes from water distillers or a home water distillation system.
Historically speaking, many of the really bad waterborne diseases that ravage populations and have chalked up millions of deaths worldwide don’t exist to the same extent in the US. Cholera, typhoid, dysentery and other such diseases were mostly eliminated about 100 years ago when water was first treated by filtering it, chlorinating it, etc. While it would be nice to say that none of these diseases exist in the US, this wouldn’t be true. There is only one way to make sure your water at home is safe. Invest in water distillers or better yet, install a home water distillation system.
With jet travel as rapid and frequent as it is today, diseases that once haunted us one hundred years ago are capable of coming back and creating havoc in the 21st century. The thing is, it isn’t just waterborne diseases we need to be afraid of making a come back in our water supplies. We need to fear and to take action against many other man-made pollutants that wind up in our glass of water. Those pollutants would not be there if the water came from a water distiller.
The Safe Drinking Water Act really needs to be updated and reformed. For a piece of government legislation that is supposed to regulate contaminants in our tap water, it’s full of holes you could drive a truck through. If that isn’t bad enough, research funding on the effects of contaminants is not plentiful, slow in coming, and not consistent. Really, what chemical manufacturer wants to know their drugs are in the water the nation is swallowing and then be held liable for it?
That’s not the only reason research is slow to address contaminated water issues. The plain fact is that there are so many chemicals floating around in the water that it’s difficult to identify the health effects of exposure to low concentrations and/or complicated chemical mixtures over a long period of time. If that doesn’t scare you, what will? Having safe drinking water at home is essential and the only way to make sure that happens is by using water distillers.
The complete irony is that the Safe Drinking Water Act only regulates ninety-one chemicals. That’s right, ninety-one out of tens of thousands that already are contaminating the water or have the potential to do so. And yet, tap water continues to meet quality standards for the most part. “For the most part” just doesn’t cut it with someone diagnosed with bladder cancer, liver and/or kidney damage, birth defects, and nervous system disorders.
Unfortunately though, that is what Americans live with daily, contaminated water that mostly meets the quality standards. No one knows what the long-term effects may be. Perhaps those drinking that questionable water now won’t be around to find out what the effects were. Drinking water is too precious to our health to gracefully accept the fact that we drink contaminated water daily. If we want to change this, we need to seriously consider switching to water distillers.
