Do you know what's In your water?

April 28, 2018

Water, an integral part of our survival, without it, we would not remain alive. Have you ever thought about what's in your tap water? Filtered or not? It should be safe to drink, right? Did you know that even trace levels of these contaminants like; chromium hexavalent (yes, this is the contaminant that Erin Brokovich dealt with), arsenic, lead, pharmaceutical drugs, etc. can cause many health issues. Health problems such as cancer, hormone disruption, organ damage, thyroid issues...this list can go on and on. Bottled water, well, this is a multi-billion dollar industry that has not only wreaked havoc on the environment and many communities (watch the documentary Tapped) but has fewer regulations than tap water, that is crazy!!! Not okay. 

My husband and I have always used a water filter of some sort, whether it was a Brita pitcher or refrigerator filter. We were thinking about doing a reverse osmosis water system, but then we would need to take supplements for the lack of minerals with such a system. After much research, we decided on the Big Berkey System 2.25 gallon capacity for our family of 3. It's a perfect size for us, easy to fill and use. (see links below) We love it! The water tastes like nothing. Clean. How it should be. 

Environmental Working Group has a tap water database. Look yours up. Here is what I found in my zip code:

The last time there was an assessment of our water supply in Dallas county was January to March 2017; the results were compliant with federal health-based safety standards. In 2015, ten contaminants tested above health guidelines. Also, are the contaminant levels that are legal, really safe? Plenty of scientists believe even in small amounts; most contaminants could still pose a health issue. Decide for yourself, do your research, get your family a water filtration system/pitcher. There are a lot of reputable brands that can get most of the contaminants out. (see resources below)
