It's mind boggling the number of chemicals that have been tossed into the water and food supplies since the 1950's, 60's, 70's.

Chlorine in public water is another issue. There are other ways to insure water is bacteria free, ozone, ultraviolet.

It's no wonder so many people have health issues. It's impossible to count the chemicals. In the county next to us they had a public water line connected backwards for sa few months so that an entire neighborhood was actually drinking and bathing in waste water, grey water. They discover this only after 3-4 months or so, I saw it on the news a few weeks ago... no one complained except to say that the water maybe tasted a little funny. 3 full months. All I can say is that it's just an indication of what they consider clean water to be. Can you imagine not knowing the difference in taste between waste water (not sewer water, grey waste, from sinks, laundries, baths etc) and clean fresh water? a lot of people obviously don't know.

In our county they discovered asbestos in the public water in one town. Very hush hush, I heard from a discriminate source not to drink the water in restaurants there. The general public still has not been notified to the best of my knowledge.

I think if you push hard for 100% to keep chemicals out of your food and water these days, you are probably lucky if you actually manage 50%.
