Article

Maintaining an alkaline balance is key to good health Many health experts tout the benefits of eating alkaline foods and drinking alkaline water for maintaining a healthy pH balance in the body. Misinformed skeptics however, try to cast doubt on the benefits of alkalinity by pointing out that the acidic environment in the stomach neutralizes alkaline substances, but as usual the skeptics are wrong.

Is bottled water safer than tap water?

Article

Bottled water is less regulated than tap water If you think bottled water is cleaner or healthier than tap water, think again. A 2011 study from the Environmental Working Group says filtered tap water is safer than bottled water. Many bottled water labels depict natural images which have nothing to do with the source of the water inside. The wholesome images conveyed by the labels fail to provide basic information about the source and purification of the water inside. EWG evaluated 173 brands of bottled water for transparency, which is a measure of how well the brands disclose the source and purity of their water. More than half of the brands... read more >>

What the Frack? Flammable Tap Water Caused by Natural Gas Drilling Technique

Article

A method for extracting natural gas from shale formations originally developed by the Halliburton Corporation has come under fire for, among other things, making tap water flammable. Tap water is made flammable by high concentrations of methane gas dissolved in it. The process, also known as hydraulic fracturing, consists of mixing millions of gallons of local drinking water with diesel fuel and other toxic chemicals and then forcing it into shale formations under immense pressure to fracture the rock and release trapped pockets of natural gas. Congress Acted to Exempt Fracking from Environmental Laws Former CEO of Halliburton, then Vice President... read more >>
