America’s Water – The Crisis Deepens

Posted by: Rhona Reid On July 12, 2016 7:00 am

 
Following hot on the heels of a damning report by a British newspaper about the state of water regulation in America, comes the latest in increasingly worrying reportage on the crisis.

An astonishing 5,300 water systems in America have violated the EPA guidelines on lead and copper, putting 18 million Americans unknowingly at risk.

How Did it Get This Serious?

The creaking, aging infrastructure that supplies the water is a known problem.  The cost of replacing it is too high, and so repairs are carried out piecemeal, when a localized problem becomes serious enough.  To safeguard the millions of people drinking the water, tests must be carried out to check for unsafe levels of dangerous contaminants, and this is …

Is Your City Cheating at Water Testing?

Posted by: Rhona Reid On June 14, 2016 9:00 am

 
British newspaper The Guardian has concluded a damning investigation into how some cities in America apparently attempt to conceal how much lead really is in the water, by employing “cheats” when testing.

“Who amongst us is safe?”  Marc Edwards,  Flint Whistleblower.
“Who amongst us is safe?”  Marc Edwards,  Flint Whistleblower.

The investigation revealed that 33 cities across 17 states have used methods of testing water that possibly conceal dangerous levels of lead.

 “They make lead in water low when collecting samples for EPA compliance, even as it poisons kids who drink the water.  Clearly, the cheating and lax enforcement are needlessly harming children all over the United States.”

Marc Edwards, Virginia Tech Scientist

“Cheats” and practices designed to conceal concerning results include:

Shocking Leak: Kangen Water vs. Tyent Alkaline Water

Posted by: William Poole On June 3, 2016 9:00 am

A shameful truth about some companies in the water ionizer industry is that they push the boundaries of ethics in search of more profit. Many times, less respected water ionizer producers will simply spread rumors about themselves and other companies with little or no evidence to support their claims.

Don't fall for the gossip. Check the facts on water ionizers, Tyent welcomes scrutiny.

Cheap Water Ionizers – An Inside Look

Posted by: Rhona Reid On May 31, 2016 9:00 am

 
There’s a British saying (and incidentally the title of a 2004 album by band The Streets), “a grand don’t come for free.”  In other words, you don’t get something for nothing.  Or in other words, you get what you pay for.

Did you just accidentally order some lead exposure?

Consumers wield a lot of power these days.  We don’t have to believe what a company tells us, when we can just click online and check the facts for ourselves.  So when we come across a deal that seems too good to be true, you know that it almost certainly is.

Cheap But Not Cheerful

Water ionizers aren’t cheap, nor should they be.  But the fact that they are a …

STOP! Don’t Eat Anymore Fruits or Vegetables Until You Read This

Posted by: William Poole On April 29, 2016 9:00 am

 
The organic craze of the last decade was largely a rebuttal against the unsavory yet common practices of modern industrial farming. In order to maximize yield and to protect crops from pests, farms have taken to spraying their fruits and vegetables with pesticides.

Tractor spraying wheat field

Pesticides are poisons meant to kill living things and when we eat food from the grocery store, the surfaces are inevitably covered in harmful chemicals. That’s why it is important to wash all fruits and vegetables in turbo alkaline water before consumption.

Pesticide Application

In theory, pesticides are supposed to be good things because they create more fruits and vegetables for humans to eat. They are also ideally not harmful to humans and only …
