Toxic Truth About Water: Live Pure with Tips on Water Purity, Filtration, Reverse Osmosis, and More!

Could your “clean” water be doing more harm than good? In this eye-opening episode of The Toxic Truth About Water, Drs. Glenn and Ina reveal how chlorine and chloramines—common disinfection agents—can create serious health risks. From eye irritation and dry skin to long-term effects like oxidative stress and compromised immunity, learn why the solution might be worse than the bacteria we’re trying to kill. Tune in to discover practical steps for avoiding these hidden hazards.

What You’ll Learn

• Chlorine & Chloramine Basics: Why these chemicals are used, plus key differences between them.
• Short & Long-Term Effects: From skin and eye irritation to byproduct formation and DNA damage.
• Real-World Examples: How everyday tasks—like brushing teeth or boiling water—factor into exposure.
• Simple Prevention: Filtration methods, shower filters, and other ways to reduce harmful contaminants.

Key Takeaways

1. Disinfection Trade-Off: Chlorine and chloramines kill bacteria but produce harmful byproducts (like trihalomethanes).
2. Unseen Exposure: We absorb these chemicals through drinking water, steam in hot showers, and even restaurant meals.
3. Action Steps: Testing with OTO, investing in carbon-based filtration, and letting water sit are quick ways to reduce risks.
