Drinking Water Radiation Warnings Withheld from Public

Article

Texas Conspiracy Endangered Public Safety Radiation warnings were witheld from the public by TCEQ officials Recently uncovered emails between Texas officials reveal a conspiracy to withhold warnings of unsafe levels of alpha particle radiation detected in drinking water from the public. The emails reveal that officials from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) knowingly defied a ruling from the EPA that would have required them to warn the public about unsafe levels of radiation that were detected in public water supplies. The TCEQ avoided having to warn citizens of the risk by ordering its staff to underreport alpha particle radiation... read more >>

Study shows Alkaline Mineral Water Reduces Blood Pressure

Article

Mineral-rich alkaline water can help reduce blood pressure A study on the effects of alkaline mineral water on blood pressure suggests that drinking alkaline water can reduce blood pressure in people who are mineral deficient. [1] In the study, 70 middle-aged volunteers with borderline high blood pressure were randomly divided into three groups; each group was assigned one of three types of mineral water, each with different levels of alkaline minerals in it.  Water “A” was rich in bicarbonates, and had a moderate amount of calcium. Water “B” was rich in sulfate, and had a moderate amount of magnesium in it. Water “C” was rich in... read more >>

Water Pollution Facts, Chloramines

Article

What you don’t know will kill you Skin rash caused by chloramine poisoning Chloramines are widely used by municipal water facilities to disinfect water, but concerns about the byproducts of chloramine treatment have caused some treatment facilities to consider alternative methods such UV light disinfection.  Chloramine is created by combining chlorine and ammonia, water treatment facilities often refer to this combination as monochloramine.  Two other forms of chloramine are created when chloramine breaks down in water, dichloramine and trichloramine. Additionally when chloramines break down organic matter (such as bacteria) in water, extremely... read more >>

Alkaline Water Safer than Drugs for Bone Health

Article

Location of atypical hip fracture linked to bisphosponate-based medications Bisphosphonates linked to Hip Fractures Doctors have been prescribing Bisphosphonate-based medications as a preventative treatment for osteoporosis to post-menopausal women since the 1990s. Recent research however has proven that biphosphonate-based medications actually increase the risk of two types of atypical hip fractures in women at risk for osteoporosis. Bisphosphonates act in the body to deactivate cells (called osteoclasts) that are used to break down old bone cells so they can be replaced by new cells. Doctors have long believed that bisphosphonates prevent fractures... read more >>

Water Pollution, What you don’t know will kill you: Benzene

Article

Benzene, colorless, ordorless, and lethal! Benzene is one of the 20 most widely used chemicals in the United States. It is used mainly as a solvent (a substance that can dissolve or extract other substances) and as a starting material in making other chemicals. Benzene is a colorless, flammable liquid with a sweet odor. Benzene is a Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) which means it evaporates when exposed to air. Benzene is formed from natural processes, such as volcanoes and forest fires, but most exposure to benzene results from human activities. Where Benzene in Groundwater Comes From Benzene is commonly found in crude oil, gasoline, and cigarette... read more >>

How Alkaline Water Improves Athletic Performance

Article

Alkaline water can improve your game too Athletes trying to perform at their best grapple with muscle fatigue almost constantly. Research suggests that intense exercise produces an acidic environment within the muscles that leads to fatigue. Alkaline water has been shown to help athletes resist acidic build up, and improve the muscle’s ability to use oxygen. Acidic Muscles Most athletes believe that lactic acid build up in the muscles during exercise is the cause of muscle fatigue. However, science is not completely clear about the connection between lactic acid and muscle fatigue. What science does know is that in an acidic body environment,... read more >>

Water Pollution Facts: Alpha Particles

Article

Deadly nuclear fallout may be coming out of your tap! Alpha particles are a form of ionizing radiation that is given off by radioactive materials such as uranium and radon. Ionizing radiation from radioactive materials is a far more serious threat to your health than the non-ionizing radiation that is given off by electrical devices such as cell phones. Ionizing radiation damages and destroys cells and DNA in your body by stripping electrons from the atoms that make up your tissues. Where Alpha Particles Come From Alpha particles are energetic helium nuclei that are given off by decaying radioactive materials such as radon gas and uranium. Radon... read more >>

Alkaline Water is Cheap Health Insurance

Article

Alkaline water is popular in countries with low health care costs Alkaline Water is Cheap Health Insurance A recent Federal budget proposed by Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan has thrust healthcare into the limelight once again. Ryan’s proposal – widely believed to end Medicare – has resulted in many Americans worrying that they will not have health care in their senior years. The escalating cost of medical care in the U.S has been misleadingly referred to as a “health care crisis”, but the fact is, medical care and health care are really two different things!  Medical care in the U.S. is expensive. We spend an $7,439 per person on... read more >>
