My friend, if you are not drinking purified water, you are putting you and your family at risk. Not just for heavy metals, but for e-coli, and various other "bugs" that our municipal water companies are not able to deal with. Have your own well? Great, but you need to understand what is running into it, and how to purify the heavy metals and toxins coming in from the environment.
The New York Times has just completed an investigation that even the EPA cannot compete with. They used the Freedom of Information Act to secure records from all 50 state agencies. What they found was horrible. Our water is far from safe. According to their article "Pollution Grows with Little Fear of Punishment" they state "In the past five years, companies and workplaces have violated pollution laws more than 500,000 times. But the vast majority of polluters have escaped punishment."
They have put together an interactive map, showing you how your state is doing with clean water. Check it out, and then go buy a state-of-the-art water purifier for your home!
