Arsenic In Food Is Banned But What About Arsenic In Water?

If someone offered you food with arsenic you'd think they were mad, but you could be drinking arsenic in water frequently

Arsenic comes in two forms, one is present naturally in the earth, the other is a toxic compound present in many industrial and chemical products. The form which is in the ground is not a problem but the chemically produced arsenic is a killer.

Up to 12 percent of local area water supplies when tested were found to contain arsenic. There is prescribed legislation which allows state and federal law to deal with arsenic in water but in reality there's just not enough money available to deal with the situation and for well water there is no legislation at all!

Around the year 2000 the Environment Agency produced a report of tests which showed that millions of US citizens consumed arsenic in water higher than allowed levels.

This may seem bad enough but the report only covered around 40 per cent of public supplies. The actual number could be much much higher!

Arsenic is not just a poison which causes death but is also a slow killer which can can be cancer forming in the form of bladder and skin cancers. If you have a weak immune system you are more at risk, this applies to kiddies, the elderly and pregnant women.

Arsenic is bad enough but research shows that it isn't the only contaminant in our drinking water, bacteria and viruses, insecticides and herbicides, heavy metals, farm and industrial wastes are just some of the others. Incredible isn't it? If any food contained even a tiny fraction of this it would be banned immediately. But we ALL drink water, so what the hell is going on?

This is because arsenic in water is so widespread and the bill for cleaning it up is so huge.

Seriously, will you allow your family to go on risking their health? I decided some time ago that I would take action and fit a whole house water filter system which would deal with most if not all contaminants.

Take action now, go to the site shown below to find out what I discovered when I did some extensive research and you can then no longer worry about arsenic in water.
