Am I reading right? Is this from an alkaline diet site?
OK, I admit it. I have changed my view of the alkaline diet drastically. I still believe we need to alkalize but the things I see and hear from alkaline diet practitioners sometimes leaves me gasping. Now before giving you the latest one, let me just fill in those new readers. I was vegetarian for […]
Moving House? Check your water supply!
Let’s face it, the water never tastes the same in the new house as it did in the old one. If you move from the city into the county or from the suburbs into the city, your water will taste differently. Every area has different sources for their water. If you are in Portland, Oregon, […]
Informed Florida Residents KNOW how poisoned they are.
Florida now has a realtime webpage that residents can view to see the latest trihalomethane count in their drinking water. THM’s are chlorine byproducts and the unsolved problem of the most common method of water purification. To quote the site, “TTHMs are four organic chemicals which form as byproducts of chlorination.

Old Water vs. New Water
The fact is, water can appear clear and contaminant-free but can be fatal if consumed in a small dose or over a period of time. Unsafe water can even taste good, but can still contain dangerous contaminants such as arsenic, lead, radiologicals, bacteria, synthetic organic compounds and disinfections byproducts.

ORP in your blood?
We’ve been talking about ORP for as long as we’ve been in business – over 13 years. For those of you not aware of it, it’s an indication of the antioxidant power (or oxidant power) of water. An Oxidation/Reduction Potential meter measures the positive or negative electrical charge of the water in millivolts. We’ve come quite […]
How Much is ‘enough’ water?
There is just SO much misinformation on the web about how we should approach the concept of hydration.

What has a bee and me have in common?
I just read a quite scary article about the findings of scientists studying bee deaths in the US. At first, research identified one range of pesticides called neonicotinoids as the culprit. So the answer was to remove these pesticides from farms, right? Well, now another group of scientists have come up with a more chilling […]
More contaminants found in Bottled water
Some people are aware that plastic containers leach endocrine-disrupting compounds into food and water. Given that the term “endocrine-disrupting” is thrown around a lot, it’s important you understand what this means. Your endocrine system produces hormones that act as chemical messengers that govern certain processes in the body (such as sexual development in young people). […]
A Real Good News Water Story
We are all acutely aware that water is the new ‘gold’ and I expect that much of the conflict, especially in the third world, is about the right to drink water. Whose water where? So this good news story from Kenya is really a breath of fresh air to me. Underground water reserves discovered in […]
