Several years back, certain people/corporations realized that whoever controlled the water controlled the world. If control is the end game, then what better way to control the masses than water and food. Not to mention that water sales really improves the bottom line. Great info as usual Jennifer. Keep digging.
Buy local is the revolution and it takes a lot of investigation to determine who is local. I live about 30 minutes from Poland Spring. Can they hold out?
Yikes. Also many supplements have been bought up by Nestle (they own popular Pure Brand and Garden of Life), other brands and drug companies but they still sell under their original name. Garden of Life has since been found to have high heavy metals in some products. And Primal Kitchen was acquired by Kraft but still is sold as an expensive clean product in the grocery stores. It is all very consolidated and intentionally misleading.
Thank you Jennifer. Finding safe water is a tough one!! I can't use tap water because ours is fluoridated and there's no safe way to remove fluoride that I know of - silver-impregnated filters work, but may contaminate the water with silver. I've been having Mountain Valley water delivered but after reading your article, I wonder if that's safe too. Please keep us posted on your findings - important topic!!
Our tap water is fluoridated as well. I ended up going with a BlueVoa reverse osmosis machine. It sits on the countertop, it is supposed to remove all fluoride and plastics and the other gross beasts in public water. Doing a whole house osmosis was not in the budget, so settled for the pitcher option. We make ice, brew coffee, etc with that water. Also use it for cooking. It tastes crisp with no floaties and weird crap in it. I think it was around $350 on Amazon. The 4 filters last a year and each one is around $29 to replace. It has been good so far! I wish I could better test the output water to see if it really is as clean as the machine says it is.
I feel so lucky. I live in a rural area and don't have city water to deal with. I can't stand the taste of most treated water. What I get out of my tap has some minerals but not awful and it tastes fine. It's clear and doesn't smell. So I'm good with it. 🙂
Thanks Jennifer. Starting at the beginning first is often sensible.
Water in plastic bottles. The plastic is a hydrocarbon product.
There are numerous studies showing harm & potential harms from plastic bottles.
Having lived & worked in Africa most of my life. We boiled the borehole water for rolling boil for 10 minutes, Then filtered by the 2 ceramic filter candles in a stainless steel upper & lower containers. Upper with the filters in. The filtered water always stored in the fridge. In Glass bottles.
Here a sensible analysis of water in plastic bottles.
This is fascinating! As is the time you have spent in Africa! The plastic in these bottles is awful……
I have switched fully to reverse osmosis, glass pitcher, stored in glass for use. I am thankful I made the changeover last year. I trust the bottled and tap water zero.
Excellent introduction for all of us to learn and keep our eyes open to the conglomerates who now own much of our bottled water supply. I suspect this to be another potential globalist ruling class tool in the depopulation arsenal.
I lived in Japan for 3 years and tried numerous drinks from the vending machines found everywhere.
A friend took me to an industrial innovation exhibition where I was impressed with a machine that recycled PET drinking bottles as we watched. Antimony is a common contaminant in bottled water, arising from the catalyst used to make PET.
Thanks for this eye opener. You are turning into a detective Jennifer😀

Any thoughts on remineralizing RO water? Do you do something to add back minerals?

Thank you Jennifer. We use a Berkey Filter at home and in our tow-behind camper. Thanks for doing what you do - every day. Peace. :-)
