Why You Should Stop Drinking Tap Water

Hello fam,

It’s time to take a serious look at the tap water flowing into our homes. You might not see it, but what’s hiding in those pipes and in the water itself could be affecting your health more than you realize.

The Hidden Dangers in Your Tap Water

Many of our water pipes are old and not only are they rusting, but they’re also leaching heavy metals into the water that comes out of our taps. But it doesn’t stop there. The water flowing through these pipes can carry a cocktail of harmful substances including pharmaceuticals, endocrine disruptors, so-called "forever chemicals," and heavy metals, among hundreds of other contaminants.

What's Really Left Behind After Distillation

I use a reverse osmosis machine at home, and you’d be shocked to see what it filters out. The residue left behind looks more like a thick cloudy gooey science experiment. This is a stark visual reminder of the impurities that can be present in untreated tap water.

Understanding Your Local Water Quality

You can check what’s in your tap water by visiting websites like the EWG, which list contaminants by location. For instance, in Los Angeles, the tap water contains over 30 carcinogenic chemicals. That’s more than enough reason to think twice about what you’re drinking and using in your home.

The Risks of Exposure

Exposure to these contaminants can have long-term health impacts. Drinking, showering, and even just handling tap water might expose you to these risks. It’s alarming how many people are unaware of what’s really in their water. Please also look at getting a shower filter. Your skin absorbs huge amounts.

What You Can Do

Considering these facts, it might be wise to explore alternatives like water distillers or high-quality water filters. These systems can significantly reduce the number of contaminants in your water, making it safer for drinking and use around the home.

Before you take another sip of tap water, think about what might be in it. Educating yourself about your local water quality and taking steps to purify your water can make a huge difference in your health.
