Washington, D.C. residents were misled about lead levels in their drinking water

7 06 2010

The CDC knowingly used flawed data to claim that high lead levels in the District’s drinking water did not pose a health risk to the public, a congressional investigation has found, according to a Washington Post article.

According to the article, the investigation found that in 2004 the CDC, in response to parents’ demand for explanations of a spike in lead levels in their water, published a “calming analysis” all the while knowing it “relied on  incomplete, misleading blood-test results that played down the potential health impact.”

Lead is a toxic metal long known to cause brain damage and developmental delays in fetuses and children when they or their pregnant mothers ingest significant amounts.

Boiled Water From Lake Victoria Not Safe Enough

4 10 2007

During a conferece updating journalists on the state of the water in Lake Vicoria, Ms Maria Mutagamba, Uganda’s Minister for Water and Environment, stressed the importance of drinking treated, not merely boiled, water from Lake Victoria.

According to Ms. Mutagamba, “For drinking, use treated water. Boiling it alone is not enough. The moment you boil that blue green algae, you give it another character, whereas with our treatment [by National Water and Sewerage Cooperation] we contain it.”

According to researchers from the National Fisheries Research Institute, the bacteria that infest the water in Lake Victoria can cause not only liver damage, but also cancer and diarrhea to those individuals who drink untreated water from the lake.

More Information About the Dangers of Plastic

10 09 2007

Please check out Dr. Mercola’s newsletter article about the dangers of plastic. There are also several links to the original articles, if you want more detailed information.

Here’s the bottom line. When is the right time to listen to your instincts? How long will people wait to be told that plastics are just not safe? I, for one, have not been waiting for someone to tell me what is safe and what is not. I’ve read the information out there, and even though there is no “conclusive evidence,” I’d rather take action now.

If you’re already drinking Kangen Water, what are you transporting it in? Hopefully, not plastic, like I was. Was is the point in drinking the best water on the planet if it’s transported in plastic?

If you haven’t already, please check out www.SafeCanteen.com for a wide assortment in stainless steel water bottles.

Why stainless steel?

  • It’s non leaching, and safe.
  • It’s also much more practical than using glass, which we were doing at first. Glass gets pretty heavy, and with our son, it’s not practical. So we have opted for stainless steel.
  • Better for the environment. Plastic never truly decomposes, and pollutes our soil and water, in turn poisoning the produce and fish we eat.

World Water Crisis

17 08 2007

Admittedly, since summer started and my son has been home for the vacation, I haven’t been keeping up so well with water news. I’ve caught up on some news, and it has made me realize that we have so much to be thankful for. From water shortages in Turkey, to severe flooding in India, I cannot even comprehend living in such dire conditions.

Hospitals in Turkey have stopped accepting new patients, and are having tankers deliver one-hour supplies of water, even for operations.

Flooding in India has left people with very little drinking water, and no medical supplies.

Residents in San Bernardino County, California require drinking water. It’s not just abroad, but here, domestically, as well.

I am thankful for my Kangen Water unit. Firstly, because I am able to drink my tap water (which normally smells like like the local YMCA pool). Secondly, I am able to do my part in helping the environment by not using bottled water. In fact, my recycling can is only one-third full, compared to a year ago, when it would overflow with plastic gallon water bottles. So I know that I am doing my part, especially finding out that NY/NJ beaches are reporting a 96% increase in beach closures over last year, because of pollution.

Let’s make ourselves aware, and be thankful for the clean water we have to drink.

Tainted Water in Massachusetts Town

26 04 2007

More than 55 people were taken to the hospital after showering and consuming tainted water. Apparently, sodium hydroxide, a chemical approved to prevent pipe corrosion and limit water acidity accidentally seeped in concentrated form into the water treatment plant. Normally, this chemical is supposed to be highly diluted. Investigations are under way to find how this chemical got into the water supply.
