Is Water You Drink “Healthy Water”?

Many of us are familiar with drinking water’s problem. Primarily due to it’s bad smell and associated bad taste. Our drinking water is healthy and safe lot of us don’t recognize it.

Estimation are made that more than 60% of all types of cancer are related to the environment. Carcinogens are in surface or ground and municipal treated drinking water as per many studies.But it is often overlooked because in drinking water are many protection ingredients that can help protect us from cancer.

In areas where the drinking water contains higher amounts of TDS rate of heart problems as well as cancer deaths are comparatively less.

The addition of fluoride to drinking water is an issue which is difficult to find the correct answers for.The unanswered questions on fluoridation are how effective and safe it is?

Excess of fluoride in some cases has caused genetic damage in some plants and some animals, humans with birth defects, and allergy symptoms ranging from headaches and fatigue to chronic diarrhea and other problems.

Researchers with the NCI (National Cancer Institute) says that one tenth of cancer deaths in the US can be resulting to possible been effected by the fluoride in municipal drinking water.

Another challenge is use of chlorine for purifying water as reported by many experts.  Some experts have reported that they believe to have found chlorine caused tumor development, atherosclerosis, and cancer. Some scientists have done experiments to show heart problems and common strokes also related to excess chlorine in drinking water.

Where they had higher levels of THMs there are also links to larger levels of cancer as per many state sponsored studies.

The reasons of becoming bottled water a fad and such a big business  is common concern over chlorine and fluoride. Many people prefer bottle water to tap water. But there is the still questions as to if bottled water is “healthy water?”.

Many people use another healthy alternative which is to use a filter of some sort. There are all types of filters for sale, both good and poor. Many people do not recognize the results of the test done for water filters.

Oral ingestion of chemicals are lower than skin absorption rates for chemicals both in adults and children as per some experts.  It is also believed that inhaling of trichloroethylene while showering is over 80 times greater than from drinking the same water.

For people who are really concerned about having “healthy water“, a solution to consider is a whole-house filtrating system for chemical removal, with no mineral extraction. Points related to use of filters for other spouts are also recommended.

But we still don’t really know if the water we drink is really healthy water.
