Friendly water picks up small amounts of almost everything.
Water reflects the amount of pollution in our world.
The proliferation of pesticides, solvents, chemical fertilizers, giardia, toxic waste dumps, and radioactive contamination in rain creates serious health problems because of the run-off into our water systems. Chlorine, used in most city water supplies in a gross effort to correct all these contaminates, causes even more problems. Dr. Weston Price in his book, Chlorine, Coronaries, Cholesterol, makes a strong case that chlorine in our drinking water, rather than cholesterol by itself, causes the modern high incidence of heart attacks. Eskimos with high cholesterol diets have few heart attacks. Coronaries rarely occurred until chlorine became a common water purifier.
