A SECRET poison hiding in your water?
How many times a day do you slip a glass under your tap and fill it with water?
If you’re getting the right amount of water a day – that number should be fairly high!
And while it’s great that you’re keeping hydrated…it might be time to consider one of those water filters you’ve been putting off purchasing.
Because an alarming new report that reveals what might be the scariest toxin yet hiding in YOUR water supply.
It’s a dangerous compound we often don’t even think about as a risk.
But according to this study it could be in YOUR home… straight from the tap!
What comes to mind when you hear about URANIUM?
A sci-fi movie or some kind of ecological disaster, maybe?
But here’s the reality…
It could be in your water supply.
A recent study found that a whopping 63% of water systems in the U.S. have detectable levels of uranium.
And, one in 50 systems had levels above the EPA’s “safe” maximum.
Yep, there is actually a classification for “safe” levels of uranium in your water.
OUTRAGEOUS!
That should make your blood boil because constant chronic low-level exposure such as what you’ll get from water can lead to lung cancer.
But it can also lead to…
- Heart disease
- Hypertension
- And even kidney disease.
So, what can you do about it?
Your best bet is to simply filter your water.
There are two types of filters I know of that can handle uranium, as well as all of the other toxins flowing from your tap.
REVERSE OSMOSIS: This is typically connected beneath the sink… or even where the water enters your home. There are also some countertop versions out there now. It’s one of the most effective forms of filtration, but it’s also one of the more expensive.
ZERO WATER: This is a much more budget-friendly form of filtration available as a pitcher or a dispenser with a replaceable filter. Just don’t forget to change it every two to four months, depending on how much water you use.
To safe water,
