Since all water is recycled and over 5million years old I wanted to discuss the differences between tap water and alternative water sources.I have been drinking mountain spring water for years now. I don't drink from the tap not because I think its not fashionable or because it's uncool, but because its got poop in it. LOL okay maybe that is an exaggeration, but its close! Almost all drinking water from the tap gets recycled from your toilets and showers, then goes through a filtration process to separate the raw fecal matter from the liquid. This process is called dewaterization. Once that is complete and the physical matter has been separated, then its time to clean the liquid matter of pharmaceuticals, street drugs, vomit, gunk, and other unnatural occurring chemicals from the liquid so that this same water becomes drinkable water you receive at the other end, your tap.
Now you may think I am crazy or paranoid but tap water to me represents a potential medium for undetected chemicals which would then enter my body. Its hard to believe they can remove all the pharmaceuticals from the water. During a time when most people are on some kind of anti-depressant or health medication it is definitely worth thinking twice about.
The EPA is finding dozens and dozens of pharmaceutical related chemicals in the water we drink and have done a lot to try and improve this water filtration process. Unfortunately at this time I feel like I am the peasant not eating with lead silverware.
I am willing to bet that in the next decade or two there will be a disaster with water that will poison hundreds of thousands of people. Also, whats to keep a terrorist from learning about water filtration, going to college, getting a job at a sewage plant, then tainting the water as an act of terrorism. Its not so crazy when you think about how 9-11 happened.
So for now I am sticking to mountain spring water. I will appreciate the well water my folks get from the creek they live on a little more now.
