The EPA allows more fluoride in water than is considered safe by health experts Recent research on causes of heart disease has revealed a link between fluoride and coronary artery disease. The study, referred to as: Association of vascular fluoride uptake with vascular calcification and coronary artery disease. Researchers examined the arteries of 61 people for signs of calcification – artery hardening due to calcium, and fluoride absorption. Connection between fluoride and heart disease described as “significant” Fluoride was detected in the vascular walls (veins) of 96% of study participants, and calcification was observed in the vascular... read more >>

What's in a glass of alkaline water for your stomach? Great Health! The pH of the stomach is normally acidic, with a pH level close to 2.5. The intestines pH is alkaline, around an 8.3 pH. Acidic drugs, foods and drink can upset the pH balance of the intestines and stomach, and when they do, the result is gastrointestinal problems such as heartburn, acid indigestion and ulcers. Alkaline water has been shown to provide several benefits to the digestive tract. Water with an alkaline pH balance raises the pH of the stomach, helping to counter the excess acidity that leads to an upset stomach.  In the intestines, alkaline water provides the correct... read more >>

Alkaline Water helps detox your stomach, intestiines, and kidneys Modern diet, stress, and pollution combine to take a tremendous toll on our bodies. Many foods drink, and drugs combine to tilt the body’s pH balance towards acidity, a medical condition known as metabolic acidosis. Many of these acidic substances are toxic as well, they poison the body. Alkaline water is a natural way to tilt the body’s pH balance back towards what is healthy and normal. A huge benefit of balancing the body’s pH with alkaline water is that the toxic acids stored in the body’s tissues become neutralized and expelled in a process called detoxification. Why... read more >>

Metabolic Syndrome Linked to low urine pH As urine pH decreases, the number of metabolic syndrome symptoms increase Metabolic syndrome is a constellation of modern day physiological screw-ups, it is considered to be a factor in obesity,  hypertension and  kidney stones. A large, recently completed study has documented an important new finding in the fight against metabolic syndrome – sufferers also have low urinary pH. People with low urine pH often have higher amounts of calcium in their urine, which significantly increases their risk of developing kidney stones. The above chart shows clearly that as urine pH gets lower, the number of metabolic... read more >>

How contaminated drinking water can infect you Massive flooding caused by huge storms across the US has resulted in widespread bacterial contamination of public drinking water supplies. Recently, a lethal strain of bacteria has begun showing up in water supplies that is of special concern: Naegleria Fowleri, better known as a Brain-Eating Amoeba. This bacterium causes a horrible, crippling disease for which there is no known cure. Recently, three people have died from Brain-Eating Bacteria infections. Continued contamination of public drinking water supplies from flooding is likely to cause that number to rise. States Where Brain-Eating Amoeba... read more >>
