• Do you know that 95% of minerals in tap water are inorganic
minerals?
• Do you also know that inorganic minerals are good only for plants — not
for the human body?
• So what's left? Only 5% are organic minerals, which are good
for people.
All the minerals we need were meant to be derived from the food we eat:
fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, poultry, grains, nuts, and dairy products.
The good minerals are so scant in water that in Boston MA, for
example. The World Health Research Institute states in a study that one
would have to drink 676 8-ounce glasses of tap water to obtain the
Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of iron, and 168,960 8-ounce
glasses to obtain the RDA of phosphorus. It seems insane to even think of
drinking that much water. Most people can't even drink the recommended 8
glasses of water a day that is widely promoted by health experts.
Biochemists Shocked At Lab Tests
Biochemists are alarmed by the results of laboratory tests which reveal
increasing deposits of inorganic "heavy metals" in our bodies.
The dangerous effects of the increasing pollution of our air and water are
evidenced by these figures.
90% of tests show - mercury poisoning
85% of tests show - lead intoxication
37% of tests show - arsenic poisoning
70% of tests show - zinc accumulation.
Amino acids are known to be the activating ingredients of living
cells. Amino acids are responsible for the production of proteins,
the building blocks of the body, as well as hormones and enzymes essential
to memory, breathing and muscle action. Most of these are manufactured
within our bodies, but some are supplied daily from the food we eat. These
amino acids are essential to life.
Pollutants Vs. Beneficial Minerals
It is true that, in the process of removing harmful pollutants from water,
the beneficial minerals are removed as well. When pollutants are present,
however, it is more important to remove all minerals than it is to save
some. Beneficial minerals can be supplied by diet or by mineral
supplements. Most important, the health benefits of minerals found in
water are less significant than the harm that can be caused by pollutants.
