CHLORINE

• These concerns about cancer risks associated
  with chemical contamination from chlorination
  by-products have resulted in numerous
  epidemiological studies. These studies generally
  support the notion that by-products of
  chlorination are associated with increased cancer
  risks.

• Chlorine is used to combat microbial
  contamination, but it can react with organic
  matter in the water and form dangerous,
  carcinogenic Trihalomethanes. According to Dr.
  Joseph M. Price, MD, in Moseby's Medical
  Dictionary, "Chlorine is the greatest crippler
  and killer of modern times. It is an insidious
  poison".

• In a 1992 study that made front-page headlines,
  and was reported on in the July issue of the
  American Journal of Public Health researchers at
  the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee
  found that people who regularly drink tap water
  containing high levels of chlorine by-products
  have a greater risk of developing bladder and
  rectal cancers than people who drink
  unchlorinated water. The study estimates that
  about 9 percent of all bladder cancer and 18
  percent of all rectal cancer cases are associated
  with long-term consumption of these by-products.
  This amounts to over 20,000 new cases each year.

FLUORIDE

• Neurotoxic and Lowers IQ In 1995,
  neurotoxicologist and former Director of
  toxicology at Forsyth Dental Center in Boston,
  Dr. Phyllis Mullenix published research showing
  that fluoride built up in the brains of animals
  when exposed to moderate levels. Damage to the
  brain occured and the behavior patterns of the
  animals was adversely effected. Offspring of
  pregnant animals receiving relatively low doses
  of fluoride showed permanent effects to the brain
  which were seen as hyperactivity (ADD-like
  symptoms). Young animals and adult animals given
  fluoride experienced the opposite effect --
  hypoactivity or sluggishness. The toxic effects
  of fluoride on the central nervous system was
  subsequently confirmed by previously-classified
  government research. Two new epidemiological
  studies which tend to confirm fluoride's
  neurotoxic effects on the brain have shown that
  children exposed to higher levels of fluoride had
  lower IQs.

• Causes CancerThe Department of Health in New
  Jersey found that bone cancer in male children
  was between two and seven times greater in areas
  where water was fluoridated. U.S. Environmental
  Protection Agency (EPA) researchers confirmed the
  bone cancer-causing effects of fluoride at low
  levels in an animal model. A new study has shown
  that fluoridation of water is linked to uterine
  cancer deaths.

AMMONIA
AnhydrousAmmonia.jpg www.ia.nrcs.usda.gov
Ammonia has a toxic effect on healthy humans
only if the intake becomes higher than the
capacity to detoxify. If ammonia is administered
in the form of its ammonium salts, the effects of
the anion must also be taken into account. With
ammonium chloride, the acidotic effects of the
chloride ion seem to be of greater importance
than those of the ammonium ion (1). At a dose of
more than 100 mg/kg of body weight per day (33.7
mg of ammonium ion per kg of body weight per
day), ammonium chloride influences metabolism by
shifting the acidbase equilibrium, disturbing
the glucose tolerance, and reducing the tissue
sensitivity to insulin. (Diabetes)

PHOSPHOROUS COMPOUNDS

• It is very poisonous, 50 mg constituting an
  approximate fatal dose. Exposure to white
  phosphorus should not exceed 0.1 mg/m3 (8-hour
  time-weighted average - 40-hour work week). White
  phosphorus should be kept under water, as it is
  dangerously reactive in air, and it should be
  handled with forceps, as contact with the skin
  may cause severe burns.

BOTTLED WATER
In March of 1999, the Natural Resources Defense
Council (NRDC) released a report called "Bottled
Water, Pure Drink or Pure Hype?"NRDC's report
points out that more than 40 of all bottled
water comes from a city water system, just like
tap water. The report also shows that 60-70 of
all bottled water is exempt from FDA's bottled
water standards, because it is bottled and sold
within the same state. According to the NRDC,
"bottled water companies have used this loophole
to avoid complying with basic health standards,
such as those that apply to municipally treated
tap water."

FILTERED WATER
Filters down to .20 Microns depending on the
system and the brand
Makes water look clean
Filters will not remove Crypto or chemical
contamination

PURIFIED WATER
Purifies down to .03 Microns
Removes as much contamination as humanly possible

Water Trivia
Soft water is best for most cooking Processes,
although very soft water will make yeast doughs
soggy and sticky. Hard water and some
artificially softened waters affect flavor. They
may toughen legumes and fruits and shrivel
pickles.
