Harmful substance in our TAP Water
-
Boiling doesn't guarantee to kill all microorganisms.Originally posted by limpshaggy:Actually, i think even if u boil the water from tap water, the fluoride will still be there, because it not bacteria can be removed by boiling. so that what most people have been drinking. Not tap water, but even boiled tape water. I may be wrong though.
updated: boiled water will not remove fluoride from it but concentrate it.
# Boiling Water
This will concentrate the fluoride rather than reduce it.
# Freezing Water
Freezing water does not affect the concentration of fluoride. -

They sell their so called "better" water by highlighting the harmful effects of whatever that is currently in the water supply right now, saying it's fcuked up or whatever.
Up to you to believe them and pay hundreds of dollars for their water purification system. -
Why don't you ban all your bras, barbecques and french fries since they can cause cancer too?
Pure NEWater is the best.

I think the ratio of dying from a car accident is much much higher than dying from fluoride poisoning due water consumption. In fact.. maybe hit 2.8 million TOTO tomorrow, then too excited, heart attack and die.. should be higher also.

Although the water is filtered before it comes out of our tap, not all contaminants are removed. Chlorine—a deadly poison—is used to kill living organisms that pose a threat; of course, you are a living organism. Do a research on the effect of chlorine if you are interested in it's various side effects.
Toothpaste is ok because you don't swallow the thing inside do you? It only remains in your mouth.
FYI, I am not trying to sell anything, just post something that i thought can be useful to everyone to know, after all, we all know that the quality of our health is not very good despite so call advancement in our country. I mean just look at the increasing cases of diseases. Who ever heard of cancer last time in our older generation time?
Also, the government hands are tied when it come to public water due to the massive volume of water they have deliver. More quantity= lesser quality. They simply cannot afford to remove substances like chlorine or they would have trouble ensuring every water is clean before it comes off your tap.
Bottom line: My advice is this, filter your tap water. It does help.The key is to ensure that chlorine and fluoride is removed, since most filters only remove chlorine. And there is likely to be no difference in boil or unboiled in Singapore since chlorine has killed almost all bacteria before it comes out of your tap so save the effort. -
You have a good imagination but i did not send anyone pm.Originally posted by ditzy:NO, WE ARE NOT INTERESTED IN BUYING YOUR DIAMOND WATER FILTERS, NOW STOP SENDING ME PMs PROMOTING YOUR PRODUCTS!!!!! -
Wah, people can be bothered to do research on such topics. Like there is a conspiracy behind it.
Fluoride maybe the only reason why out teeth never rot during NS. lol -
I guess it is within safety limit for drinking. There is always certain benefit for most thing if done or consumed in moderation. But when overdo ... there will be detrimental effect to our body. Don't have to be overly worried.

No worries la , as far as Spore is concern , we have the cleanest water supply in the region .
Maybe the harmful bacteria can be detected in Malaysia , Indonesia , Philipines and maybe China , it wouldn't happen in Spore .
Cancer is caused not by water la .... but by mixture of food u ate , air u breath , work-stress , life-style etc ....
Chlorine in water cometimes also not bad , they do kill the germs in our body system . -

Many countries in Europe have banned its use in water supplies due to these health related concerns.
More recent studies are showing that ingestion of fluoridated water does not have a significant effect on dental health. If fluoride benefits dental health at all, it is when the fluoride is topically applied rather than ingested. Fluoridated toothpaste is a far more efficient delivery system than our water supplies. A growing number of dentists are changing their minds about water fluoridation and report that dental health has improved in both fluoridated and non-fluoridated communities. The critical factors that most affect dental health are diet, dental hygiene, and genetics - not a fluoridated water supply. Fluoridated water is also the source of health concerns.
Scientists are now beginning to study the long term effects of drinking fluoridated water over a lifetime and their findings are alarming. Many people are hypersensitive to fluoride even at the typical 1ppm levels. This hypersensitivity has manifested itself as skin irritation, stomach distress, chronic fatigue, headache, muscle weakness, and joint pain. Fluoride has also been associated with dental fluorosis, weakened bones, bone cancer, and environmental pollution.
