The Water Secrets They Won't Tell You

Unveiling the Hidden Truth: The Water Secrets They Won't Tell You | Blue Zone Waters

Water is essential for optimal health, but have you ever considered the impact of the type of water you choose? At Blue Zone Waters, we believe that your choice of water can profoundly influence your well-being and longevity. Let's explore the different water types that many people consume and the concerns surrounding them.

Tap Water: The Unspoken Truth 

Tap water may seem like a healthier choice than sugary beverages, but the findings of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) raise important concerns. A comprehensive 2023 study by the USGS revealed that at least 45% of tap water in the United States contains per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS). These synthetic chemicals, found in everyday items like food packaging and cookware, have raised concerns due to their persistence in the environment and associated health risks. PFAS compounds like PFBS, PFHxS, and PFOA were among the most frequently detected. The study emphasized the importance of water testing, whether from public supplies regulated by the EPA or private wells. It's no wonder that the demand for Enagic® products and Kangen Water® continues to rise.

Bottled Water: Debunking the Myths

Bottled water is often considered a healthier alternative, but a comprehensive study by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) challenges the perception of its purity. The study tested multiple bottled water brands and detected various chemical contaminants, including disinfection byproducts, fertilizer residue, and even traces of medication. Shockingly, some brands contained toxic chlorination byproducts comparable to tap water levels. Cancer-causing contaminants were also found, surpassing industry safety standards. These findings underscore the need for transparency and further research to protect public health and question the credibility of bottled water. 

Reverse Osmosis: A Troubling Process 

Reverse osmosis water systems have their drawbacks, as research suggests. One significant concern is the excessive wastage of water. Studies indicate that these systems can waste up to 20 times more water than they produce, leading to environmental waste and increased water bills. Another issue is the removal of beneficial minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium added by municipalities. Furthermore, the process lowers the water's pH, potentially causing corrosion in plumbing systems and the release of toxic metals like lead and copper. Additionally, the installation, maintenance, and servicing of reverse osmosis systems can be costly and complex.
