How safe is your tap drinking water? it’s possible pesticides or contaminants could be flowing from your faucet.

Public water systems, tap waters are tested and regulated by the government. By law, municipalities have to test the water and report to consumers once a year. They can test once a year, four times a year, sometimes less. They test for 90 contaminants like copper, arsenic, lead. There is a report that tells you what’s in the water and if it’s dangerous. But they average the results. So if you live in an agricultural area, pesticides in the water spike in the spring because those results don’t show up in your water report.

There are many contaminants, and many of them the government doesn’t perform safety tests on. We think they should test for more than they are.

Good Housekeeping tested some of the filtration devices out there that people are using. Here’s how they did the study?

They paired up with the lab for emerging contaminants at the university of Arizona. With the Good Housekeeping research institute they tested refrigerator water filters and tabletop water filters to see how they filter out the most prevalent of untested contaminants.

If it works for you, go with it. However,here's just one source of many out there that indicates that distilled water may have some negative health effects. Granted, distilling water will remove a lot of contaminants, but it also removes a lot of naturally occurring minerals, with the result that distilled water only can leach minerals from, and drop the pH of, the body.

Preservative?

Cut piece of frond off of plant, rub on. The preservative (magnesium stearate) is toxic.

Aluminum fluorosilicate is good for you?

If you want Alzheimers, and broken, yellow teeth perhaps...

About as useless...as the following posts.

Vitamin E (natural form) is used for preservation of items such as aloe vera gel items for topical application.
I was referencing a commercial usage of aloe vera gel as a skin penetrant or carrier for other herbs or ointments.
As part of a formula.

I'm gonna have to go with my initial statement...Is the skin the largest human organ?

It was not the first part that was extreme by the second,

and it absorbs whatever is in your water.

"Whatever" is more than what is warranted.

But thanks for the light it provided.
