CHLORAMINE AND CHLORINE REMOVAL. "You can quickly and easily remove the chloramine from your drinking water simply by adding vitamin C to the water. You just need to add 10 mg of vitamin C to neutralize each liter of water." Certain activated carbon filter will also suffice. Chlorine is removed by letting water stand24 hours. http://lnkd.in/dt83k3w View in LinkedIn

PURE WATER MYTH. "Nearly all large water purification systems can cause the formation of biofilm in the piping. This biofilm can spread microorganisms within the system and contribute to an increase in particles, bacteria, and the level of total organic carbon (TOC). Contamination can affect the whole process in the pharmaceutical industry or hospital environment." http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2458/2/13 View in LinkedIn

ANECDOTAL STORY ABOUT IBS AND CHLORINE. "My irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) was greatly improved when I left the UK and visited Paris. I had considered many possible explanations for this, but had yet to find an answer ... I discovered that my local water utility company puts chloramine (as well as chlorine) in my tap drinking water." http://lnkd.in/dt83k3w View in LinkedIn

WATER FROM PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION TANK. "The 78 isolated colonies were identified as the following bacteria genera: Pseudomonas, Flavobacterium and Acinetobacter ... P. aeruginosa 32.05%, P. picketti (Ralstonia picketti) 23.08%, P. vesiculares 12.82%,P. diminuta 11.54%, F. aureum 6.42%, P. fluorescens 5.13%, A. lwoffi 2.56%, P. putida 2.56%, P. alcaligenes 1.28%, P. paucimobilis 1.28%, and F. multivorum 1.28%." http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2458/2/13 View in LinkedIn

MICROBIOTA AND TOXINS. "Mounting evidence indicates that gut microbiota composition affects obesity and diabetes, as does exposure to environmental chemicals," including insecticides and herbicides which kill gut microbiota. The obvious dotted line includes chlorine and chloramine in drinking water. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3295356/ View in LinkedIn

WATER TREATMENT PLANT EFFLUENT: "50% of all the network samples contained more than 1.06×10(5) cells mL−1. This indisputably demonstrates biological instability in this particular drinking water distribution system, which was ascribed to a loss of disinfectant residuals and concomitant bacterial growth." http://lnkd.in/dCWk3Re View in LinkedIn

GUT MICROBIOME AND OBESITY AND DIABETES. View in LinkedIn

DRINKING WATER IS FULL OF BACTERIA, even after all our water purification plants have done to try and rid them from our taps. But what types have we effectively selected for, and how do they affect our microbiome? http://lnkd.in/dgPsGqF View in LinkedIn

ANTIBIOTICS CHANGE GUT MICROBIOME and have been blamed for obesity among other diseases due to shifts in the gut microbiome. Chlorine is the new antibiotic, but vanishingly few studies exist on the effects of chlorinated water on the gut ecology. View in LinkedIn
