It is possible to drink pure water for health

Last Friday 8^th September 10, 2017, the Sunday daily carried a very disturbing article at the bottom front page news on “Tap water worldwide may contain plastic: US study”

London: Contamination with invisible fibers of micro plastics affects some 83% of urban tap water worldwide reaching 94% in the United States and 72% in Europe, according to a report published on Wednesday. The study by US based investigative journalism group Orb found “previously unknown plastic contamination in the tap water of cities around the world. It said the research, conducted by a public health expert from the University of Minnesota, showed that “ from the halls of the US Capitol to the shores of Lake Victoria in Uganda, women, children, men, and babies are consuming plastic with every glass of water.” More than 80% of the samples collected on five continents tested positive for plastic microfibers. Environmental campaigners Greenpeace said that the reported contamination of tap water was “ yet another unseen symptom of the ability of plastic pollution to get absolutely everywhere”

What is your personal response to this news? The denial of the reality of this pollution affecting you personally is the usual reaction.

What can I do to reverse this disturbing trend? How can  I allow this polluting water makes me a victim and a casualty in the long run? 

If your home is on fire, you will respond very fast, run out of the burning house, try to stop the burning, call the fire department. But when a slow acting plastic contamination in our tap water which kills us slowly, we react very differently with less urgency and action. This is a very dangerous trend.

Just like a frog being boiled slowly in warm water treats the rising temperature as a sauna, unlike being thrown into a boiling hot water, will jump out of the hot pot immediately.

Similarly, if a crook wants to steal money from bank depositors accounts, he will do it in a small amount, over a long period of time, from many different accounts rather than the big amount from some selected account holders.

Water that kills us slowly over a long period of time, will eventually claim more victims than a poison well that kills a few very quickly. 

In modern day expression, just as we can buy our life’s necessities by installments such as house, car, and other gadgets by installment, we also die by installment. Drinking polluted water which has plastic molecules is one example. It may take its toll in 20 years, but we are still the victim in the end.

WE have a choice not to drink this plastic contaminated water, just use a distiller to eliminate the plastic molecules. We take out the water molecules when they evaporate in the boiling chamber of the distiller into steam and condense back into the liquid water when we collect the pure water without any trace of a foreign particle such as micro plastic molecules.

Filters mostly remove suspended particles, solid dissolved in the water such as chemicals, pesticides, drug residues, hormones and other solvents cannot be screened out by filters. Plastic molecules similarly cannot be filtered out of tap water. Be healthy is a choice of life and the price:

uses the right tool to obtain your ideal drinking water.
