Now it may come as a shock to you to find out that I don’t drink tap water! Yet I’m a fitness professional and instil into all my clients the importance of drinking water to not only improve their health but also to aid weight loss. In fact the average person should be looking to consume one litre of water for ever 50lbs of bodyweight! That’s right; if you weigh ten stone you should be consuming at least three litres of water every day!
OK, so you’ve just told me I’ve got to drink all this water – if I want better health and a better body but now you’re telling me NOT to drink tap water! What’s going on?
Quite simple really – do you really know what’s in tap water?
Tap water is treated with a large number of chemicals in order to kill bacteria and other microorganisms.
Here’s a list of just a few of the chemicals:
Liquified chlorine
Fluorosilicic acid
Aluminium sulphate
Calcium hydroxide
Sodium silicofluoride
Don’t forget that once your water leaves the water treatment plant it travels through pipes, some of which may have been underground since Victorian times. It is almost impossible for the water not to become contaminated by something undesirable. How many of us still have lead pipes feeding into our houses? You can pretty much guarantee that if your house was built before about 1970 it’s probably still fed by a lead pipe at the very least from the water main in the street to your stop tap, so there’s every chance of heavy metal contamination.
Over 300 different man-made chemicals have now been detected in British tap water. Water companies only test for around 20 of these chemicals. These twenty chemicals are all present in varying amounts for example DDT, Simazine, Atrazine, and 3,4 Benz pyrene, (weed killers).
I can go on and on here, a recent study by Brunel University showed levels of benzotriazole and tolytriazole in
Isn’t it any wonder the fluoridation of water is banned in all other European countries? …just saying!
These are some of the reasons I buy bottled water.
