Behind “Safe” Bottled Water

Posted by: Rhona Reid On November 10, 2016 12:00 pm

Back in 2008, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) found that 10 top brands of bottled water contained contaminants such as disinfectant by-products, pain medication and fertilizer residue.

Toxic Waste Near Water

Even if the beverage industry has cleaned up its act since then, there’s still the worry that plastic leaches controversial carcinogen Bisphenal A (BPA) into the bottled water.  No one is certain about the long-term effects of imbibing the estrogen-mimicking chemical, so wobbly reassurances along the lines of “it seems to be alright so far…” is pretty much the best we have.

Portable Problems?

Is Buying A Water Ionizer Worth It? 

Posted by: Rhona Reid On May 26, 2016 9:00 am

 
Buying a water ionizer is a fairly major purchase for most people.  Although the cost-per-glass comes in at around a tiny 6 cents, the initial cost is significant enough for you to need a bit of reassurance that you really need this in your life.

Tip Of The Iceberg

The horror of just how many children have been affected by lead poisoning in Flint continues to unfold, and the inevitable lawsuits are coming in. But to understand the true extent of the problem, it’s necessary to cast a wider net than just over the beleaguered largest city of Genesee County.

Posted by: Rhona Reid On February 19, 2015 8:54 pm

 
Clean is the first word that comes to mind when I think of Tyent Water.  There is no comparison…check that, there is a comparison when you juxtapose water from your tap against water from a Tyent alkaline water purifier; the difference is noteworthy.  

How clean is your tap water?
How clean is your tap water?

To begin with, most of us are aware that the water coming out of our taps at home is loaded with tons of dangerous chemicals. 

Those chemicals come from agricultural run-off that contains pesticides and other chemicals used in farming. Then there is the pharmaceutical or drugs that are flushed or dumped into the rivers and find there way into our drinking water.

                  Alkaline Water, Good for You Good for the World

 

 

 

BANNER!    When it comes to water, you don’t have to know many of the particulars about it other than you cant’ live without it, but you should know more.

 

It used to be that water was just water.  Everyone pretty much drank the same water as everyone else, and that was the water that flowed from your tap.  How times have changed. 

 

Water shortages, drought, pollution, and a more health-conscious society, all have contributed to change the landscape of water consumption forever.  When I was growing up there was no such thing as bottled water unless it was seltzer water that tasted like Alka-Seltzer without the medicine …

Tyent USA And Clean Water In The World

Posted by: Rhona Reid On September 17, 2014 5:49 pm

 

                                On the Hunt for Clean Water

Magnified drop    Following yesterday’s blog I received some positive feedback from people who were aghast at the degree of filth some of those bodies of water contained.  I also was asked this same question more than twice, “Where is the cleanest water found?”

 

I liked that question so I set out to discover where the cleanest water in the world might be found.  Here is what I learned.
