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

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

ZAPPING GOOD BACTERIA IN FOOD. "Depending on the dose, some or all of the microorganisms, bacteria (as well as "good bacteria" that inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria), and viruses present are destroyed, slowed down, or rendered incapable of reproduction." This is part of public resistance against ionizing radiation. Food is the canary in the coal mine for water. View in LinkedIn

WE LIVE IN A MICROBIOTIC ERA, and no discussion of water purification will be complete without asking both about the impact of changed microbiotic ecologies post-purification on the gut, nor about the effects of drinking water chemicals on our gut and body microbiomes. These chemicals include chlorine, chloramine, fluorine, and numerous toxins from pesticides and pharmaceuticals. View in LinkedIn
