The Hidden Dangers of Drinking Water

Many contaminants in drinking water can significantly harm the immune system, with a shocking number of chemicals going unregulated in the U.S. Dr. Ailey Cohen highlights substances such as PFAS and lead that may be present in municipal water supplies, pointing out the inadequacies of the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974, which only monitors a limited number of chemicals. She emphasizes the need for consumers to be proactive by investing in water filtration systems, particularly reverse osmosis, which has proven effective in removing harmful pollutants. This underscores a broader concern regarding the quality of water we consume daily, and the potential long-term impacts of these toxins on overall health.
