Can you trust tap water?
We like to think that, because the U.S. is the wealthiest country & the most industrialized on the planet, our public services are also the best. But the truth is that our government has a lousy track record when it comes to delivering pure drinking water through the tap.
And don’t get fooled by fancy restaurants, their water also comes from the tap.
It’s time to wake up about the quality of our ‘tap water’ because it is one of the most serious catalysts of toxicity, especially in our cities.
Nearly 1 billion people a year die from unsafe drinking water. That’s because water is the essence of life. When trying to find if life exists outside our solar system, the 1st criteria of the NASA is the presence of water… No water, no life.
Water is so essential to life that our body is composed of 99% of water! Remove the water and you only have a small jar of ashes.
On average, anybody can live for up to 3 weeks without any kind of food. But nobody will be able to subsist more than a couple of days without water.
Under severe heat, any adult can lose around 1 gallon of water per hour. This loss needs to be promptly restored to preserve an optimum fluid balance.
There is nothing more critical than drinking high quality, non-toxic water!
In the U.S., most of the water we utilize comes from our domestic water tap.
The problems are the multiple usages of water.
That’s because we use tap water for:
- cooking
- showering
- bathing
- washing cloth
- flushing the toilet
- cleaning our cars
- filling our pools
- watering our yards
- and much more
But we rarely, if ever, consider how clean or safe this multiple is to do so.
This should be an extreme warning: drinking water quality is more important than quantity.
Historically, it has always been very difficult to provide clean water and sanitation systems since the dawn of civilization. Where water resources, infrastructure or sanitation systems were insufficient, diseases spread and people fell sick or died prematurely.
Throughout history, people have devised systems to make getting water into their communities and households and disposing of (and later also treating) wastewater more convenient.
The historical focus of sewage treatment was on the conveyance of raw sewage to a natural body of water, e.g. a river or ocean, where it would be diluted and dissipated. Early human habitations were often built next to water sources. Rivers would often serve as a crude form of natural sewage disposal.
Over the millennia, technology has dramatically increased the distances across which water can be relocated. Furthermore, treatment processes to purify drinking water and to treat wastewater have been improved.
One of the most important sanitary developments of human development has been the pursuit of mass public sanitation infrastructures & the ensuing availability of water free from feces & other biological toxic pollutants.
Drinking soiled water cause acute or chronic effects. According to the type of toxin, and the concentration, dysentery, a common water-borne bacterial infection, causes intestinal inflammation, & severe diarrhea.
Dysentery cause dehydration, and an infection that could be lethal, if untreated. Dysentery is still prevalent the developing countries today and is a major factor of mortality.
In 1095 the U.S. started the permanent chlorination of water. After a major typhoid fever epidemic in Lincoln, an experiment using chlorination of the water was introduced. The chlorination of the water supply helped stop the epidemic and the chlorination was continued.
But that chlorination led to another chronic problem: the poisoning to nonfatal doses of toxins, such as most industrial chemicals.

Safety Misconception

People in Flint, Michigan have been fighting the city for several years, and their tap water is still as bad as it was several years ago. Flint is not an outlier. A recent study found that 63 million Americans were unprotected and receive alarming drinking water. In the majority of the cases, the authorities know about it, but nothing is done until we start to complain or to get sick.
Preserving our health means ensuring that the water we drink has been appropriately cleaned or filtered, or comes from a clean source such as a natural spring or an unadulterated well.
Even bottled water that comes from reputable companies is sometimes not what they are advertised.
For example, a brand like Dasani is just recycled water that has been purified, remineralized with magnesium sulfate, potassium chloride, and salt, its PH is more than 6.4, which make it extremely acidic and unfit for drinking. Another brand, Aquafina, boast a mountain on the bottle but its PH is at 6.3. The label indicates that their water originates from public water sources and is treated with HydRO-7; however, the public water sources is most probably recycled water and there is no explanation regarding their treatment process.
Lead & Fluoride: Principal Fatal Offenders
Some of the worst water pollutants are fluoride & lead. Researchers have found that even small levels of lead exposure cause brain impairment and developmental issues in babies & teens.
Lead is a metal that is added to your tap water because of old, rusty pipes like the some found in many turn-of-the-century cities and towns. This problem will be worse in the coming years, as 20th-century infrastructure continues to decay, and no funds are levied to change the pipe or modernize the system because the government refuses to raise much-needed taxes.
Fluoride in the water supply is just another scam from clever marketing. For decades, water companies have sworn that fluoride is beneficial to your health. But the fluorides those companies add to about 90% of municipal water supplies are the silicofluorides, fluorosilicic acid (FSA) and sodium fluosilicate (NaFSA.) Just to let you know, those are “by-products” (read waste) of the aluminum.

Nearly 30 MILLION Americans are drinking dangerous contaminated tap water linked to cancer, birth defects and lead poisoning
Marketed under the notion that Fluoride helps prevent dental caries in underserved populations, this claim has been widely debunked in recent years.
In reality, high doses of Fluoride are UNSAFE. They weaken bones and ligaments. They cause muscle weakness and nervous system problems. High doses of fluoride in children – before their permanent teeth come through the gums – can cause tooth discoloration.
The Critical Review of the Physiological Effects of Ingested Fluoride concluded that “Available evidence suggests that fluoride has a potential to cause major adverse human health problems while having only a modest dental caries prevention effect.”
Evidence shows that dental remineralization happens when small amounts of fluoride are topically applied to teeth (by a dentist,) not when absorbed with water.
Of course, Big Pharma is using all of its marketing resources to hide the dangers of fluoride, but some scientists are starting to ring the alarm bell.
In 2014, a list of developmental neurotoxins was created to shield the public against mass-used toxins, and fluoride was added.
It has even been found some evidence of a link between swallowed fluoride & the development of cancer.
Of course, lead and fluoride are the most well-known. But some lesser-known, yet frighteningly common toxins are found in our drinking water.

You will find below 5 powerful reasons not to use tap water and find drinking alternatives.
1) Pharmaceuticals
In the late 1990’s scientists were alerted to something “fishy” going on in the Potomac River. Fishermen hailed bisexual fish (they had male and female sex organs.) The culprit was phytoestrogens in the water. The most incredible part is that this medicine was coming from synthetic birth control pills!
Most probably, the phytoestrogens were flushed in the toilet and ended in the river…
Ever since, we discovered that a lot of people flush their unused drugs in the toilet, increasing the presence of pharmaceutical drugs in public water supplies.
The explanation is that drugs are treated by your body system as foreign substances that must be eliminated ASAP (it’s called xenobiotics.)
Not only the body gets rid of those drugs, but they are not biodegraded, or broken down, and are eventually found persisting in the environment as pollutants.
Now, we know that a lot of pharmaceuticals are flushed in significant quantities in environmental and municipal water samples. Since the water that goes to your tap comes from local source, this concentration of medicine that can’t be broken makes second-hand pharmaceutical exposure a new problem.
So, when you are drinking tap water, you are also ingesting medicine that other people have flushed in their toilet…
Of course, local governments argue that the concentrations of drugs showing up in municipal water supplies are so low that the effects on humans are insignificant.
This is a very dangerous brush-off. Just consider the size of a pill, especially concentrated and formulated to be effective at low doses. And that does not take into account, the long-term effects of these “accidental” exposures. Imagine how much-unwanted medicine has gone through your body after 5, 10 or 20 years of “low & insignificant dose.”
Of course, the EPA says it doesn’t want to “alarm the public.”
So, no funds has been allocated funds to research this issue further and information.
2) By-products of Chemical Disinfectant
The chemicals used as industrial disinfectants are in the class called “halogens” or salt-producers. Those chemicals used in your tap water are chlorine, bromine, and iodine.
Water treatment facilities depend on them, especially chlorine, to kill harmful bacteria that are usually present in public water systems.
Some of the by-products (read waste) of these treatment process are trihalomethanes, a class of chemicals that includes chloroform.
The problem is that trihalomethanes have been linked to:
- colon cancer
- rectal cancers
- birth defects
- low birth weight
- miscarriage
- and more
On top of that, it is widely thought by the scientific community that adding trihalomethanes in drinking water also cause thousands of cases of bladder cancer every year.
A report published in 2007 showed a whopping 50% increase in bladder cancer risk within in a group of subjects who consumed water with trihalomethane concentrations higher than 21 parts per billion.
Currently, the EPA limit for total trihalomethanes in drinking water is only 100 micrograms per liter or 1 part per billion in water.
But trihalomethane is not the only disinfectant by-products – known to cause harm to the human body- present in municipal tap water, there are 600 of them. The most frightening news is the fact no toxicology studies ever have been done to reflect the harmful interactions between these chemicals inside your body.
The water treatment companies know the problems and risks, so they have sought alternatives to chlorination, but the 1st results have not found safe alternatives to chlorine.
Until a new solution is discovered, water treatment agencies will continue adding these dangerous chemicals in the petri dish of our public water supply, until the cost to public health clearly outweighs the short-term benefits.
3) Radionuclides
Everybody knows that we live in an era of nuclear fallout. From the nuclear bombs tests of 1960 in the Pacific Ocean to the meltdowns at Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima, highly toxic, radioactive elements called radionuclides have found their way into the environment, and inevitably, into our food supply.
Our water worldwide is tainted with these pollutants. The Fukushima disaster forced the Japanese government to authorize the dumping of 777,000 tons of water contaminated with tritium, the radioactive version of hydrogen, into the Pacific Ocean. This nuclear by-product makes its way into the atmosphere via condensation of toxic water, and finally into groundwater reserves through the rain.
The problem is that no meltdown is necessary to release this alarming radiation into the environment.
In groundwater thousands of miles away from nuclear explosions, serious levels of tritium have recently been found. Same thing around the Miami nuclear complex at Turkey Point in Florida. Believed to be the result of infiltration from underground cooling canals, these leaks are even more dangerous because of their location between 2 national parks known for flourishing marine habitats, and their value to the public as recreation areas.
4) The phosphate fertilizer industry
One of the by-products of the phosphate fertilizer industry is fluorosilicic acid. This compound is heavily tainted with toxins and heavy metals (including arsenic, lead, and cadmium), as well as radioactive materials. Fluorosilicic acid is just another dangerous waste product that has found its way into our drinking water.
The phosphate fertilizers don’t arrive into our water supply merely by groundwater leaching… Those toxic elements are actively used in water treatment as an alternative to sodium fluoride as an alternative to the government’s dangerous fluoridation campaign.
Again, it has been proved that Fluorosilicic acid contains know carcinogens as arsenic & lead. Furthermore, its high salt content leaches metal-lead from water pipes. Fluorosilicic acid is so dangerous that PolyProcessing.com explains the difficulties of ensuring safe, industrial containment: “FSA interacts negatively with metals to produce flammable hydrogen gas, meaning a stainless steel chemical storage tank is not a viable option. It attacks glass, eats through concrete, and poses a serious storage concern.…”
Not a pharmaceutical grade substance, even the EPA admits that the use of fluorosilicic acid (in the form hydrofluorosilicic acid) constitutes a practice akin to turning the public water supply systems of the United States into “hazardous waste disposal for these products.’
In 2014, concerned researchers requested the EPA to mandate a switch from using these industrial chemical waste products to fluoridate drinking water, to pharmaceutical-grade fluoride. Despite an estimated 100-fold decrease in risk of cancers, the EPA choose savings over health and refused the switch as being “too expensive.”

5) Pesticides
In the U.S, more than 1/2 of drinking water from tap is coming from groundwater. Above all, It is the only water source for wells and springs that supply the countryside. When farmers use pesticides, all the fertilizers, herbicides, and other chemicals used to help grow the crops are drained through the soil, eventually arriving into groundwater supplies and finally reaching your kitchen tap.
When you know which substances are pouring into your glass, that can be helpful for both monitoring and advocating tighter controls on agricultural practices that contribute many of these chemicals to the nation’s water table.
The below is the list of a few fertilizer chemicals that you don’t want in your glass!
Dacthal® (DCPA, dimethyl tetrachloro terephthalate)
Dacthal is a famous herbicide used to prevent the growth of grass and weed.
Unlike other pollutants like HBA and DDT, Dacthal is still legal for use in the United States. But its growing fame as a dangerous groundwater pollutant has been confirmed several times.
Dacthal was first noticed as a chemical troublemaker around 1999. At that time, the EPA had launched large-scale monitoring of public water systems. Unfortunately, Dacthal degradates were found in concentrations higher as 15% in several states, especially where agriculture was leading.
Dacthal bio-persistance is in adipose (fatty) tissue. It was found in animal studies to negatively impact multiple regions of the body, including:
- thyroid
- lungs
- liver
- kidney
A very large groundwater study conducted by the Michigan Department of Community Health to gather toxicological data determined that the herbicide Dacthal and its metabolites constituted a public health hazard.
HCB (Hexachlorobenzene)
HCB is one of the harmful pesticide formerly used on cereal crops to stop the growth of fungi. HCB is a dangerous chemical whose dark effects were brought to light more than 50 years ago.
It’s true that the use of HCB has been stopped in the U.S. in the 70’s, but its worldwide use has not been curbed. HCB has still been identified at increasing levels in:
- water
- soil
- air
- and food samples in the United States in recent years.
A by-product that is generated via several chemical processes, HCB ingestion is known to cause:
- tainted breast milk
- liver damage
- neurological symptoms
- and much more
Large doses can lead to death.
To show HCB’s ability to biopersist, studies found that 30 years after critical exposure, breast milk of affected women still contained up to 150 times the permissible limit for consumption.
DDT (Dichloro-Diphenyl-Trichloroethane)
The DDT was officially banned in the U.S. in 1970, it was outlawed in Britain in 1986 and banned as a pesticide worldwide under the Stockholm Convention in 2001 after it was discovered to be fatal to wildlife and the environment…
In the US, the use of DDT led to the near-decimation of our nation’s bald eagle population.
So, how is it possible that a chemical banned 50 years ago still causes a problem?
Because of a chemical phenomenon known as biopersistence, this widely-used chemical is still present in the US. It’s posing a cancer risk to the American population as a whole, including humans and animals.
The definition of biopersistence ia that chemicals are resistant to break-down through regular metabolic processes.
Once inside the body, those chemicals are not wasted, but they accumulate, often in fat cells and adipose tissue. After that, they can wreak havoc on a long-term basis releasing their substance and negatively affecting the hormones & overall health.
Another factor in this ongoing pollution is the fact that DDT still remains legal for use in many countries. Of course, DDT molecules travel vast distances in the atmosphere, leaving toxic soil in their wake.
DDT is recognized to be carcinogenic by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, as well as causing reproductive health issues and liver damage.
Conclusion
Under the pretense of cutting regulation, the current administration is now going backward and says that manmade chemicals do not harm our environment. Of course, this is pure propaganda that is supported by a powerful consortium that doesn’t want to spend their dollars into much-needed studies.
In the meantime, the best way to avoid extra toxicity is to be vigilant, drink bottled water and demanding our government for more accountability regarding our sources of water.
Now, the problem of bottled water that it becomes very expensive after a while. Once you realized that bottled water companies have fewer regulations than those governing tap water, it became a definite no-no. Finally, if you want fresh pure and clean tap water at home, the most cost-effective and healthiest option are water filters.
Below are some of the biggest benefits of using water filters in your home.

2. Drinking filtered, clean water protects the body from disease and can lead to greater health. In addition, water filters provide healthy and clean water for cooking as well.
3. It costs way less than you think. First off, let’s tackle bottled water. The cost of bottled water goes way beyond what you pay to buy it (which itself adds up after only a little while). It also takes an estimated 17 million barrels of oil per year to make the plastic bottles (according to onegreenplanet.org) and takes even more energy to have it transported throughout the world. Take into account that 80% of bottled water ends up in landfills and you see the problem. Water filters on the other hand (when you buy from FiltersFast.com) are as low as $18.99 for refrigerator water filters (and even lower for other types of water filters), can be delivered automatically to your door at the frequency of your choosing, and can even be recycled.
The list above is by no means an exhaustive list of benefits of water filters, but these are why I believe you should consider using water filtration in your home. Refrigerator filters, whole house filters, faucet filters, countertop filters and more are all options to choose from to get filtered water in your house.
