We drink water with our meals instead of soda or <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iced_tea" title="Iced tea" rel="wikipedia">iced tea</a>.<br /><br />Now that we know what <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drinking_water" rel="wikipedia" title="Drinking water">clean water</a> tastes like, we can't stand to drink water straight out of the tap.<br /><br />We can't go back---We won't go back---to unfiltered water, just on the matter of taste alone.<br /><br />That got me to thinking. I wanted to know what is in our tap water that makes it taste so bad. While looking for the answer to that question, I learned some disturbing facts about our water <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_supply" title="Water supply" rel="wikipedia">supply</a>. I simply cannot keep this information to myself.<br /><br />Here are the facts of life about our <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drinking_water" title="Drinking water" rel="wikipedia">drinking water</a>:<br /><br />All of our drinking water is recycled water. It is being <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollution" title="Pollution" rel="wikipedia">polluted</a> and <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollution" title="Pollution" rel="wikipedia">contaminated</a> by the thousands of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_compound" title="Chemical compound" rel="wikipedia">chemical compounds</a> that are dumped into it everyday. We are drinking the residue of what millions of Americans are flushing down their toliets.<br /><br />Our water <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_treatment" title="Water treatment" rel="wikipedia">treatment</a> facilities just kill the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteria" title="Bacteria" rel="wikipedia">bacteria</a>, <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algae" title="Algae" rel="wikipedia">algae</a>, and other microscopic forms of life that are present in our water. They make no attempt to remove the prescriptions drugs that are dissolved in it. Which means that everytime you drink a glass of water, you are taking everyone else's drugs.<br /><br />That gives you just two alternatives: Buy a water <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_filter" title="Water filter" rel="wikipedia">filter</a> and use it. Or, suffer the consequences of drinking contaminated water.<br /><br />I sell Aquasana water filters, and I believe they are the best.
