Studies the Beneficial and Harmful Agents in Drinking Water

Introduction: Healthy Water

Research on drinking water is highly fragmented and opinionated. Studies on water and heart disease ignore the findings on drinking water and cancer and vice versa.

Healthy Water brings this diverse and confusing research into a coherent focus. Read what makes drinking water both safe and healthy.

Although Healthy Water is not a book about water pollution, it¡¯s smart to be reminded of the on-going extent of this problem. Reports from two leading environmental organizations (National Resources Defense Council and the Environmental Working Group) claim that 53 million Americans or roughly 1 in 5 are drinking polluted water.

Water: The Essential Nutrient
Most of us have been told we need to drink a minimum of 6 of 8 glasses of water a day. But if you recorded how much you personally drink, you¡¯ll be amazed how little it is. Try it.

Many of our healthy problems are the result of dehydration. We have lost touch with our bodies many cries for water and have instead substituted food or other drinks for water.

Ironically many of the liquids we choose like, alcohol, juice, sodas, coffee, and tea actually dehydrate the body ¨C thus adding to the problem.
