This article came across my desk today and it struck a real note of warning with me. It is not my article but one written by William Campbell Douglass II, M.D. - but it seems to confirm what i’ve recognised for some while. That pollutants in our water cause untold harm and in this case Arsenic seems to be linked to a great prevalence of diabetes.
I’ve worked for years in the water and sewage industry and i know that none of the so called sewage treatment processes do anything otehr than screen out solids and reduce the bacterial load. The chemicals are getting more concentrated in our oceans every day and that affects the water we drink and the food we eat. What can we do about it - demand better water purification - yes possibly - but are we able to pay for it - the cost is horrendous. One alternative would be to put a reverse osmosis purification system in each home but then the cost is again huge. My advice is use the best activated charcoal filtration system you can get your hands on and don’t let it go more than 6 months before changing the filter.
For years, the medical community has pinned the rising rates of Type II diabetes on the fatty, fast food diet of many Americans. But now a new study reveals that it may not be what we’re eating that’s giving us diabetes, but what we’re drinking. Nope, it’s not soda, lemonade, or coffee . but water.
Apparently, millions of people in America and around the globe are guzzling down water that’s contaminated with arsenic. According to a recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the water supplies of as many as 13 million Americans is corrupted by an amount of inorganic arsenic that’s well above the Environmental Protection Agency standard of 10 micrograms per liter.
When I say “inorganic” arsenic, I mean arsenic that’s not naturally occurring; in other words, its junk left over from man-made things like industrial waste. Arsenic has no taste, color or smell, and at high levels it’s deadly - as anyone who’s ever read “Arsenic and Old Lace” can tell you.
The researchers concluded that the participants in the study with the highest arsenic levels were 3.6 times as likely to have Type II diabetes.
As for these researchers, I think it would’ve been nice for them to release exactly WHICH 13 million Americans are exposed to this tainted drinking water. but they didn’t. Government cover-up, anyone?
As if fluoride, chlorine, and pharmaceuticals in the water aren’t bad enough, this is just one more reason to purchase a reverse osmosis filtration system for your tap water.
