What is Arsenic?

Arsenic is a notoriously poisonous chemical element. The medical community indicates it is known to be a carcinogen. The fact is that Arsenic in water is naturally occurring.

Arsenic in Water? Really?

“Arsenic contamination of groundwater is a problem that affects millions of people across the world” ~ Wikipedia

Drinking water with high levels of arsenic in it over several years increases the chance of acquiring liver, lung, and bladder cancers. And, the medical community indicates it can cause diabetes, heart disease, neurological damage. It has been determined that Arsenic inhibits the ability of our body to fight off cancers and other diseases.

 

Arsenic in water. Let that sink in for a moment…

What Else is in Our Drinking Water?

Arsenic is not the only troubling toxin found in our tap water. Besides Arsenic in water, there are many chemicals and toxins present in tap water. The Safe Drinking Water Act established maximum levels for 87+ contaminants in our drinking water. Notice the emphasis on the words “maximum levels” in the last sentence? The Act did not eliminate the contaminants. Rather, it established upper “allowable” limits for the contaminants in our drinking water…including a maximum limit of Arsenic.

Recently, Environmental Protection reported that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ordered Monte Vista Water Company to reduce Arsenic levels in the drinking water they provide to in Douglas, AZ. Apparently it is so serious, that the EPA may fine Monte Vista Water Company $37,000 per day.

How to Remove Arsenic in Water…

There are two drinking water systems that remove arsenic in water, as well as the majority of chemicals and toxins found in our tap water. They are:

• Reverse Osmosis Filter Systems (RO Water Systems)
• Water Distillers (Distiller Water)

RO water systems remove approximately 50-80% of the chemicals and toxins found in tap water. Distilled water systems remove up to 99% of chemicals and toxins found in tap water…including arsenic in water.

If you have the choice, would you choose clean drinking water? The good news is that you do have a choice, and you can act on it now.
