If you haven’t yet installed a water ionizer or some other advanced water filtration system in your home, you could literally be betting your life. A new study from the environmental advocacy group called Environmental Working estimated that tap water in California could contribute to 15,500 cancer cases over the course of a lifetime!
Even though California water is regulated by the federal Safe Drinking Water Act and overseen by state regulators, it is still full of cancer-causing contaminants. The contaminants most strongly linked to cancer are arsenic, hexavalent chromium, and radioactive elements such as uranium and radium.
California is not alone. If you have read our previous blog posts, then you know that hexavalent chromium is prevalent in cities across the US. So is arsenic. The movie Erin Brockovich documents one town’s fight against hexavalent chromium. But the truth is it’s everywhere.
It is estimated that 40% of all Americans will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Could most of this be caused by drinking their tap water?
Arsenic is the biggest problem. Even small levels of arsenic are considered to be highly carcinogenic. There simply is no safe level yet arsenic is found in tap water all over the country.
It is particularly a problem in rural areas. Small utilities simply don’t have the same advanced treatment capabilities as larger water utilities. So they’re not able to remove the arsenic as well.
The aforementioned California study estimates that 47% of lifetime cancer cases were caused by arsenic pollution in drinking water! Another 16% were caused by hexavalent chromium. Can you imagine losing a loved one to cancer just because they drink water when they were thirsty?
Now more than ever you should invest in an advanced home water filtration system but your options are limited. Reverse osmosis water treatment systems will remove all contaminants from your tap water but they also remove everything else, like beneficial alkaline minerals and oxygen. Reverse osmosis systems leave your tap water empty and acidic, which can cause damage to your body.
The other solution is to get a water filtration system that specifically targets these carcinogenic contaminants like the 16 stage water filtration system in our water ionizers. Specifically, our water filtration system contains ion exchange resin to remove fluoride and heavy metals like arsenic.
The other 15 stages in our filtration system remove the other contaminants including chlorine, sediment, and radioactive materials.
Besides filtering the water, our water ionizers also restore the lost antioxidants to your drinking water. They transform your water from being contaminated and oxidizing to being purified and full of antioxidants!
Why take the chance and continue to drink tap water? With all of these reported cancer cases, you just can’t trust what’s coming out of your tap. A Water for Life USA water ionizer will make your water safe to drink again plus transform it into an antioxidant rich, alkaline super water!
