Death by Water!


According to GMA and TODAY, ABC and NBC's Morning National news, Studies have shown that water has many drugs and toxins found in most major cities of the U.S. Finding things from B.C., Heart Meds', Anxiety Pills, Pain Killers, actually around 50 different types of medications were found in our nations tap water supply. The nation has been aware of it, but cannot afford the type of money that is needed to treat our water which require Osmosis treatment. The findings are significantly small, a ratio of one pill to an olympic sized pool was used on GMA, but tests have shown fish and birds and other animals are seeing brutal effects.

Theres also been studies showing chlorine and Flouride exist in our drinking water in the past as well. Chlorine being used to clean and disinfect, mainly treating rust, and flouride to keep our teeth clean??? Why would the government feel resonsible to keep our teeth clean, when we brush regularly (most of you people anyways) and we have dentists we go to. Some crazy people (Myself) believe the flouride is put in the water for something else. Keep in mind that Dental Flouride is damaging to the brain and your physical body in larger amounts, obviously were talking about again, very small doses, but in time it could be enough to start effecting generations after us.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_f...on_controversy Here is a link to read about Dental Flouride, and other types of flourides and Flourines (interesting I know, Only link I could find in a hurry to back up something I read in school several times)

What do we do? Quit drinking water and Dehydrate, even still we got to eat and guess what, every thing we eat consumes WATER. Crops that yield rain would be of our best interest despite the fact they get a nice acidy/mercury rain shower. All this thinking is making me thirsty....

Westside, if you are worried, buy a reverse osmosis filtering system for your house. Gets rid of 99.9% of all potential toxins. Also not cheap, but hey, if you're concerned about it..........

f-mac you are mean!

to be honest I would rather not worry about that.. there is too much to worry about already, I just brush it off. I drink water right out of the tap! I do feel pretty calm most of the time.. perhaps that is due to all the anti-anxiety medication I am consuming!

what about if you drink bottled water? not that I will start paying $4 a day in bottles of water, but it would be interesting to know if they found a difference. I figure most bottled water is the same as tap water anyway.

lol you guys are hilarious! Yea i knew about the osmosis filters... but there 700$ for a personal one, and the government cant afford to buy filters like that for our treatment centers.

Minime, bottled water isnt filter through osmosis, and actually alot of bottled water companies use tap themselves..

But yea I agree, I havent really stop drinking water! F*** It ya know!
