What’s really in the water that flows out of our faucets? 1. Chlorine – 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 – they can wreak havoc at the cellular level and can cause all types of health problems and weaken the immune system. 3. Fluoride – another toxic substance. Turn off the tap and get a glass of pure, clean, distilled water. It tastes better too!
