What’s really in the water that flows out of our faucets? 1. Chlorine – We have all heard of chlorine. Not only is it found in our water, but also in most swimming pools. In both uses, it is called upon as a disinfectant as it effectively kills microorganisms. The trouble is that chlorine does not know when to stop killing organisms, which leads to toxic effects for the body 2. Heavy metals – Heavy metals are some of the most dangerous substances known to affect the human body. They can wreak havoc at the cellular level and can cause all types of health problems and weaken the immune system. 3. Fluoride – One of the most toxic substances we know of is fluoride. This controversial water-additive is used as a preventative medication for the masses; however, people are losing their freedom of choice about what preventive agents they receive. Turn off the tap and get a glass of pure, clean, distilled water. It tastes better too!
