Alien Water

A few days ago while in the middle of a long road trip from Colorado to Texas my family and I stopped for dinner in a midwestern city at a very well known chain restaurant.  We were by no means in the middle of nowhere.  The server upon taking my drink order looked at me like I was an alien.  He was actually quite stunned when I ordered a bottle of water.  He stated he had been working at this restaurant for quite some time as a server and had NEVER had one patron order a bottle of water.  I found that alarmingly strange…maybe it was just him.  A few minutes later his serving partner came by and said “oh my god he actually sold you a bottle of water?”  I quickly got the picture that I was indeed an alien of sorts to them because I had ordered a bottle of water.  Why did I order a bottle of water?

Well because there have been several studies (some listed here) over time that show the increasingly poor water quality provided by local governments.  Many studies show that the quality of the water can be out right dangerous to your health and thus can certainly perpetuate a chronic disease like diabetes.

While we are often searching for a  magic bullet for our health care woes we often forget the basics of health like a healthy and natural diet, good sleep, and clean water.  Take a moment to read some of the following articles and studies about what might be lurking in your municipal water.  I am not saying you have to buy bottled water from now on, but some type of filtration system to ensure your water is as clean as possible just makes good common sense.
