Full List Of Bottled Drinking Waters That Secretly Contain Fluoride

Baxter Dmitry – Many people buy bottled water thinking it is purer than tap water and safe from contamination by fluoride, but the FDA allows bottled water companies to put fluoride in their product without telling customers – and many of them do just that.

Why would a company secretly put fluoride in their product without informing their customers? Your guess is as good as mine, but what I can tell you is which bottled water brands to avoid at all costs, unless you are happy ingesting a known neurotoxin as part of your daily routine.

The fact is that many processed beverages and even food contain fluoride. It’s no wonder that dental fluorosis has skyrocketed in the U.S. over the past 60 years (image below). Dental fluorosis is a side effect of fluoride ingestion that typically effects children. And it’s awful.

Glenn Meder ~ Top 10 Things You Need To Know About Water In An Emergency

10) In An Emergency, Your Water Can Become Dangerously Contaminated.

After the initial danger from an earthquake or hurricane or other disaster has passed, the most significant risk to your family’s health could very likely be contaminated water. This is especially true if there is flooding, damage to underground pipes and electricity blackouts. Your tap water (if it’s still flowing) could be contaminated with sewage (bacteria, viruses and parasites) and chemicals from ruptured chemical pipelines, storage tanks, tankers or damaged refineries. The Japanese Fukushima nuclear accident demonstrates that our water can even become contaminated from events that happen hundreds or thousands of miles away.

 9) Safe Drinking Water Is The Most Important Prep.

It’s important to be prepared for an emergency, but keep in mind the priority of your preparation items. Removing your family from imminent danger, such as getting to high ground if a tsunami is headed your way, keeping your family warm in winter and providing your family with a safe supply of drinking water are at the top of the list. If you don’t have a safe supply of water, you could quickly find yourself in a very dangerous situation in which you are sick, panicked, and unable to think and function properly.

 8) Lack Of Safe Drinking Water Is One Of The Causes Of Panic.

If we can learn anything from recent disasters, is that the first thing the public does is scream for the government to immediately deliver bottled water. Most people have never experienced real thirst. Water is not an option, your body demands it and it must have it. This biological need can and will override rational thought. By being prepared with safe drinking water, you won’t be part of the panic and will instead be able to focus on next steps for keeping your family safe. Continue reading →

The Disadvantages Of Bottled Water

~ admin ~ Leave a comment

PlasticBottleOnWaterBottled water is one of the most convenient beverages. These days it’s right up there with Coke and Pepsi in terms of availability and abundance in the marketplace. Of course when these large corporations are also 50% of the market share for bottled water, you would expect to see this sort of thing.

It’s great that more and more Americans are drinking bottled water because perhaps that is a sign of them drinking less soda; which is just a sugary phosphoric acid drink. Of course we would love people to drink water over soda, however bottled water still has many disadvantages to be aware of.

To be specific, the real disadvantages are with plastic bottled water. Plastic is an issue not only because it causes chemical changes to your drinking water but it also has an massive effect on our environment (darn humans and our quest for convenience at all costs!)

There are 50 billion water bottles consumed globally each year. Around 30 billion of them are consumed in the US which shows that Americans are about 60% responsible for the problem while only being 4% of the global population. That’s 1,500 water bottles consumed every second in the U.S.

That’s a lot of bottles!

9.1 billion gallons or 29.1 gallons per person per year to be exact. That is based on 2011 statistics.

Bottled Water Leeches 24,000 Chemicals Into Your Body, Study Finds

bottledWaterSeveral companies have stopped using BPA in plastic production due to consumer outrage, but just because a plastic container says it is “BPA Free” doesn’t mean it’s free of potentially harmful chemicals. As a matter of fact, recent research out of Germany indicates there are more than 24,000 of such chemicals in any given bottle of water—with some of them causing serious hormone-disrupting effects.

According to the story from Goethe University Frankfort, the researchers tested 18 different bottled water products in an effort to look for endocrine disrupting chemicals, or EDCs. They found far more than expected, identifying 24,520 different chemicals in their testing. After isolating the chemicals and determining their impact on the body, the researchers narrowed down those with anti-estrogenic properties to one: DEHF or di(2-ethylhexyl) fumarate. This finding was of major concern.

Out of the 18 different bottled water products, 13 had “significant” anti-estrogenic activity, and 16 out of 18 inhibited the body’s androgen receptors by 90%. In other words, the bottled water was largely wrecking havoc on the human body.

In addition to DEHF, however, the researchers determined there is some yet-unidentified EDCs at work. Something else is causing anti-androgenic effects. Continue reading →

Bottled Water Found To Contain Over 24,000 Chemicals, Including Endocrine Disruptors

Bisphenol A

Widespread consumer demand for plastic products that are free of the hormone-disrupting chemical bisphenol-A (BPA) has led to some significant positive changes in the way that food, beverage and water containers are manufactured. But a new study out of Germany has found that thousands of other potentially harmful chemicals are still leeching from plastic products into food and beverages, including an endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC) known as di(2-ethylhexyl) fumarate, or DEHF, that is completely unregulated.

Martin Wagner and his colleague, Jorg Oehlmann, from the Goethe University Frankfurt, in conjunction with a team of researchers from the German Federal Institute of Hydrology, learned this after conducting tests on 18 different bottled water products to look for the presence of EDCs. Using an advanced combination of bioassay work and high-resolution mass spectrometry, the team identified some 24,520 different chemicals present in the tested water.

But of major concern, and the apparent underpinning of the study’s findings, was DEHF, a plasticizer chemical that is used to make plastic bottles more flexible. According to reports, DEHF was clearly identified in the tested water as the most consistent and obvious culprit causing anti-estrogenic activity. Despite trace amounts of more than 24,000 other potentially damaging chemicals, DEHF stood out as the only possible EDC capable of inducing this particular observed activity, a highly concerning observation.
