Robert Whitfield MD says the U.S. regulates only 91 of over 100,000 chemicals that could enter drinking water, relying on 1974 infrastructure. BPA, phthalates, and PFAS are everywhere in daily life. He recommends reverse osmosis filters for your home.
Otherwise everyone's toxic until proven otherwise. I mean we're all loaded with these chemicals. And I say that because they're everyday chemicals. They're BPA from canned foods and they're, you know, phthalates and perfumes and fragrances that we, you know, like and spray on. If you're working out, you might be exposed to some PFAS in the stretchy material or in your raincoat. I will tell you that I think drinking water is actually probably the most unrecognized contributors to human health problems because none of us really understand, I didn't either that understand the water system in the US Once we start to understand the old infrastructure that manages the water that we supposedly will end up drinking in our public system, once we understand how outdated it's from 1974 safe drinking water act that nothing's changed when since then, when they've only regulated or I should say managed, measured and you know, fix 91 chemicals when we have over a hundred thousand that can get into our water system and do which becomes drinking water in our water system. So any filtration, I always say, is better than no filtration. It's so much cheaper even to get something more aggressive called a reverse osmosis water filtration, whether it's on the countertop of your kitchen or whether you get it installed by a plumber underneath, which is much more convenient for be drinking.
