It is known to many of us that there is a problem with some of our drinking water.Sometimes it tastes bad and sometimes it smells bad. Lot of us don’t believe that our drinking water is healthy or safe to drink.

It has been assumed that over 60% of all types of cancer are linked to the environment. Other studies have disclosed that carcinogens are in ground or surface and municipal treated drinking water.Drinking water is laden with many protection ingredients that can save us from cancer.

In areas where the drinking water is higher in amounts of TDS there rate of heart problems and cancer deaths is low.

The addition of fluoride to drinking water is an issue which is difficult to find the correct answers for.The unanswered questions on fluoridation are how effective and safe it is?

Genetic problems in some plants and animals, humans with birth defects, and allergy symptoms ranging from headaches and fatigue to chronic diarrhea and other problems  caused due to too much of fluorine.

Researchers with the NCI (National Cancer Institute)hypothicate that as many as one tenth of cancer deaths in the US are due to fluoride in municipal drinking water.

Another difficulty which has been objected by many experts is the purification of drinking water using chlorine.Some experts have reported that they believe chlorine causes tumor development, atherosclerosis and cancer. Some scientists have performed experiments which have shown heart problems and common strokes are related to excessive quantity of chlorine in drinking water.

Several states had disclosed in state sponsored studies that higher levels of THMs results into larger prevalence of cancer.

Concerns over chlorine and fluoride are one of the reasons which gave rise to bottled water business in the market. To many people bottle water tastes better than that of the spout. But there is the still questions as to if bottled water is “healthy water?”.

Use of filter is another healthy option. All types of filters for sale are available both good and bad. Some states require a 3rd party to test water filters but the results are hard for the most people to understand.

Some experts realize that rate of skin absorption for chemicals both in children and adults are much higher than when taken orally.Absorption of trichloroethylene during showering is over 80 times greater than from drinking the same water.

For people who are really concerned about having “healthy water“, a solution to consider is a whole-house filtrating system for chemical removal, with no mineral extraction. Points related to use of filters for other spouts are also recommended.

But we still don’t really know if the water we drink is really healthy water.
