Dr. Oz, The President's Cancer Panel and Prevention Magazine - Use A Water Filter
Posted: 10/27/10

Every day, there are more articles being written about the importance of a water filter for overall health.  Dr. Oz and the Presidents Cancer panel previously published info on this topic, and now Prevention Magazine has recently published the following article:

13 Everyday Ways To Avoid Cancer

Number 1 and number 5 on their list are shown below:

1.    Filter your tap water
You'll reduce your exposure to known or suspected carcinogens and hormone-disrupting chemicals. A new report from the President's Cancer Panel on how to reduce exposure to carcinogens suggests that home-filtered tap water is a safer bet than bottled water, whose quality often is not higher—and in some cases is worse—than that of municipal sources, according to a study by the Environmental Working Group.

5.    Water Down Your Risks
Drinking plenty of water and other liquids may reduce the risk of bladder cancer by diluting the concentration of cancer-causing agents in urine and helping to flush them through the bladder faster. Drink at least 8 cups of liquid a day, suggests the American Cancer Society.

The President’s Cancer Panel recommends that you “filter your drinking water”.

Dr. Oz, the Emmy winning host of the Dr. Oz Show, and renowned cardiologist says that you should not only filter your tap water, but the water in your shower and bath as well.

He says:

“Drinking water isn't the only water that should be free of toxins. You should also shower and especially bathe with toxin-free H2O. Instead of squirting yourself with Evian, remove chlorine by adding a charcoal filter to your shower or bath. Chlorine - which isn't just found in swimming pools but also in tap water - dries out the hair (as well as the skin). It's especially important if you take 10-minute showers or baths rather than a quick rinse. The problem isn't the straight chorine but what it turns into - stronger toxins called trichloromethanes. These can irritate your skin and eyes, but may also cause other health problems in higher concentrations.”

I believe that the best way to change people’s behavior is to make it easy and convenient to change.  This is why a whole house water filter can have such a positive influence on one’s health.  If drinking 8 cups of water a day is good for you… then shouldn’t that water be available from every tap?  If filtered water is good for you, why just filter it at the kitchen sink, when great water can be available from every tap and shower in your house?  

A LifeSource Whole House Water Filter is the longest lasting, least expensive and easiest way to follow the advice of the experts regarding water.  Over 40,000 people have joined the health LifeSource family, and more are joining every day.
