Pure Water

We all need water.
98% or more of our body systems is comprised of water or H2O.
It is not much of a secret that most cities were built beside either a fast flow stream of water or with direct access to a lake or even larger body of water.
Most of us think, half correctly, that the reason why was so that the inhabitants of those small towns could have ready access to drinking water. This is but half of the story, the other half of the story is that that same water provided cleaning solutions for both industry and for carrying away waste products both human and chemical.
The truth is though, that even a small village of 100 to 200 people could foul the water for those downstream and this was pretty well known and even fought over a few hundreds years ago.
So, if the waste products from a few hundred people was problematic a few hundred years ago, what in the world do people who live in cities a million or more do?
Well, most would logically say, cities use different industrial sized underground pipes for both clean water and human waste disposal. Absolutely correct, but forget the pipes, what about the water?
Have we suddenly discovered billions of gallons of underground reservoirs to tap into? In a few cases, yes, but the real answer is that we mostly recycle the **waste** or bad water and drink it after a process of cleaning. When I first heard this story as a kid, my response was, “I will never drink tap water again !”
To this day, there are tens of thousands who live in cities and who almost never drink the tap water from their own city — and for many good reasons.
The original recycling plants were optimized for cleaning human waste. Today, however people throw their entire medicine cabinet contents down the toilet and millions of birth control pills and waste is flushed into the recycling system monthly. Since the water recycling facilities were not optimized to handle that guess what has inevitably started happening ?
Ok, so the water is not 100% clean but will that kill you?
Perhaps that depends on how healthy you were to start off with, but that’s a topic for another day.
So, all of this being no particular secret, there are hundreds of thousands of city dwellers who routinely purchase gallons or liters of “spring water” from their local stores. We all know that some **spring water** isn’t actually spring water at all, but simply tap water in a jug that has been intentionally incorrectly labeled, but that doesnt happen that often and it isn’t the focus of of this article either.
Too little water and our kidneys have too little moisture with which to dissolve and flush out toxins from the body.
What about “pure water”, you have heard this term before. It generally refers to water that has been created by a distillation process ( boiling to steam, running off the condensed water droplets into sterilized containers ). This is a truly different type of water and contains so little impurities and in fact tastes considerably different to those who have never tried it before.
So, whats wrong with this pure water?
Well in the old days, this distilled water was used in car batteries only – but that doesn’t make it bad, does it?
No, it doesn’t, in truth, this type of water can be medicinal. It is so pure that it attempts to dissolve the plastic casing of any plastic bottle that it is placed in. Coke and Pepsi discovered this the hard way, when they switched to pure water in order to lower the amount of sugar required to make their drinks taste sweet.
