Gourmet Foods and Tap Water

Gourmet Foods and Tap Water

Gourmet foods = gourmet soaps! If you put it on your skin, then you should be able to put it in your mouth.

Organic foods were used in my facial treatments, pure, unadulterated, clean, natural nutrition. This 'live food' delivered nutrients for a healthier skin.

Your skin absorbs more in a 10 minute shower that if you drank that water all day long. The most common and concerning categories of harmful chemicals found in tap water include:

PFAS (Forever Chemicals): Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances are man-made chemicals used in industrial products that seep into groundwater and water supplies nationwide. They are linked to cancer, hormone disruption, and reduced vaccine effectiveness.
Fluoride: Municipalities often add it to prevent tooth decay, and it can also occur naturally. While optimal levels (typically $0.7$ to $1.2$ mg/L) are considered safe for dental health, concerns exist regarding potential health risks like bone damage or neurological effects from excessive exposure.
Lead and Heavy Metals:
Lead typically enters tap water through the corrosion of aging household plumbing and service lines. Other heavy metals like arsenic and hexavalent chromium (chromium-6) can also leach from natural mineral deposits or industrial runoff.
Nitrates: Primarily coming from agricultural runoff and livestock manure, nitrates are highly prevalent in groundwater and can cause reproductive harm and cancer.
Disinfection Byproducts: When municipalities use chlorine or chloramine to kill biological pathogens, these disinfectants mix with naturally occurring organic matter and can create harmful byproducts linked to cancer.
Pesticides: Chemicals like atrazine-which is widely used on crops and highly prevalent in agricultural regions-are known endocrine disruptors.
