water

[mee]

Many authorities recommend drinking at least eight glasses of water—two quarts—every day.


i know it is good for us but i would be running to the loo every five mins,

still , it is supposed to flush out the impurities so i am going to put eight glasses in a jug and try my best.

your body adjusts to the flow, current recommendation I've heard is 1/2 ounce of water per pound of weight. and if you drink coffee or soda it counts as a negative so replace that with an equal amount of water to make up for it. (in addition to the 1/2 oz/lb.)

they(the state government) have just informed us that they will be adding flouride to our drinking water in the next few years. I dont know if this is good or bad. aparently the rest of the states have it and we are the only one that doesnt. does anyone know more on this subject?

i think in England we have had it for years

is that the same as chlorine ? i know our water tastes yuck and chemically

Flouride isn't same as chlorine. Chlorine is occasionally flushed through water systems to cleanse and disenfect (kill bacteria, blah blah blah), although there seems to be evidence that it can cause various cancers. The flourination of water is a ridiculous state scheme to keep the subjected people's teeth healthy, and there is also some controversy over whether this practice is also raising people's risks for certain cancers.

Gotta love the gov'ment.

Back to the main topic, I drink water all day long, probably around 200 ounces a day. I'm a thirsty person, what can I say?

Mee, if your water tastes yuck and chemically, you may want to filter it.

Im going to get a rainwater tank. that'll show em. LOL

putting flouride in the water is a unique way of disposing of what would be classified as hazardous waste if they had to dispose of it otherwise.

I have got 3 water butts but i dont fancy drinking it LOL i keep that for the plants as we have just gone on to water meter so i am trying to save on bills . my friend halfed her water bill by going on to meter. if it does not work out cheaper i can go back to a standard bill . its suprising how much water i used to waste but now i am more into saving it .

Well a chemist buddy told me, that anyone that studies the stuff won't drink anything out of plastic, nor store food in or heat any plastic (even microwave safe). As they know what it deteriorates to and at what rate.

If your plastic water bottle sees sunshine synthetic estrogens are released into the water. I've also heard that children born in the US today have teflon traces in them from that safe commodity.

So the question is, do we have fluoride, teflon, and plastic deficiencies to the point where we need to supplement?

I remember once when I smelled chlorine in my tap water, I had a pool so I tested it. The level of chlorine was higher than allowed in a public pool for swimming!

Ha! I don't doubt that. Sometimes when I take a shower and they've chlorinated the water, my eyes start burning!

We've got a filter jug and keep it in the fridge. Can't be sure exactly what it removes but it's infinitely preferable to straight from the tap (visibly so when you make a cup of black tea) and cheaper and probably healthier than buying bottled. Although Pellegrino with an Italian meal is a must!

yes it makes me wonder just what we are drinking , nothing is clean in this world now, even the water we drink. makes me think of the last part of the verse 11;18 in REVELATION


and to bring to ruin those ruining the earth.”


Nature’s self-purification system worked well without any problems for thousands of years. But gradually people began to come together in ever-expanding cities, causing problems with the balance of nature.

chlorine is horrible for you.. it kills all kinds of good bacteria in your stomach and digestive tract not to mention on the surface of your skin.. I would strongly suggest drinking bottled water. I had to eat a bunch of plant vitamins for the enzymes to grow back I just walked in from Christmas shopping so I cant remember what they are called! But thank God they worked.. I had a very acidic stomach and suffered from GERD and its completely gone now.

Another thing.. I drink over 100ozs a day and your body does adjust to the amount you're drinking.. Wil is right its your weight divided by 2 in ounces per day. If you do not drink enough water your liver begins producing enzymes and it will not process the fat your eat.. it turns into toxic fat that sits around your intestines.. It makes you fatter to not drink water. When you are dehydrated your body begins taking water from organs including your brain which explains headaches and takes moisture from your muscles which explains a lot of aches and pains we get every day. If you are feeling thirsty you are already dehydrated.

Fluroide is HORRIBLE!! Its a bi-product of plutonium.. like wil said.. they had a surplus of a toxic waste and found that it made teeth and bones stronger but what they dont tell you is what it is exactly and the harmful effects.. they didnt do a case study on it before they threw it at us in the 60's and 70's.
