Brita does do a great job of filtering our lead. I sent water samples to an independent lab and had them test the lead levels and the Brita filtered water had no detectable lead, while all the other samples from thee same source just pre-Brita filter had lead detected.
Obviously he didn't mean literall birth controll in the water but the can be chemicals that affect women and effect the chances of giving birth or if the even drinking the water while pregnant wich the worst water is usually in inner cities we're minorities live swear people don't know how to ucking think or just don't care because it's not effecting them YET
Sigh. As someone who has worked in the environmental consulting field for 28 years, I’m disappointed at your inaccurate generalization about tap water. Problem is, since you weren’t specific, I cannot be specific in my responses. Suffice it to state that public water supplies are safe. They are highly regulated. Trace chemicals, both inorganic (metals, nitrates, phosphates)-which can be both natural and anthropogenic in origin-and organic-mostly anthropogenic in origin-may or may not be present in one’s water but the concentrations must fall below the EPA drinking water Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs). Water supplies are sampled quarterly and the results are publicly available, by law. The exception to the MCL statement above is when the contaminants are due to leaching of metal from pipes in the homes, over which there is no regulatory control; e.g., lead. Check your pipes. Plasticizers that he references are present in all plastics. Good luck getting rid of those. Find some gadget that doesn’t contain plastic. But again, if present in supplies water, their concentrations must be below MCLs or other regulatory thresholds. Chlorides and fluoride compounds are used in amounts below their MCLs to kill potential bacteria in the water. If concerned about the trace amounts of these, let your water sit for a day and these compounds volatalize and go away. The statements above do not apply to private water wells. Final note: bottled water isn’t regulated
This here. I'm very sceptical of RO systems from a very quick bit of research you can see many studies and scientific journals state there's a lot of downsides to reverse osmosis filters due to the fact it strips the minerals out of tap water. In this video he does say to add electrolytes to remineralise it but is he just doing that because he think you will by his product? He's still a salesman at the end of the day
@@datboi__ I doubt most stuff on the surface affects the well as it draws from a couple hundred feet down, and I'm in a rural area, but nobody is spraying anywhere nearby, and the worst that could happen from the outside is a cow to jump the fence on poop on the top of the pitless, and that wouldn't affect the water as there is a cover and seal before you can touch water, and it's routed into the house, so I'd say it's quite safe, and better in a way to fluoride being in the water
@@datboi__ I definitely wouldn't want to drink water from a small creek or river, boiled or not, especially when they are spraying the fields, nobody likes pesticides
You should still get it tested in the Midwest people had wells and thought they were safe but it gave a good bit of the population cancer, but at the same time a petro Chen company was pumping chemicals miles away into the ground
He be capping more than LeBron James like there are countries like the US that make sure that shit don’t happen. Like if that were tru there would be hundreds of lawsuits against the water suppliers in the US and you probably wouldn’t have tap water until the case is resolved if they win and if they don’t then good like finding water to filter
@@Carlbarl. dude are dumb or do you just think you know the facts without doing the research. What this man said is true, over many years of drunk tap water it can definitely negatively effect your health and body. Just search up flint Michigan. Hasn’t had clean drinking water for years, literally life threatening tap water but nothing happens. Wanna know why? Our legal system has been altered to benefit large corporations & the government. If you pay any attention you’d realize the government does not have your best interest ma at heart. Why leave your health and we’ll being up to the government. Take your fate into your own hands
@@Carlbarl. it’s not cap lol. Literally every other house I go to the tap water taste like burnt hair. Once you start drinking filtered water for a long time you’ll notice a huge difference.
Well the hormones that are in the birth control naturally get to the water system, there is nothing unexpected about that consider the amount of women who use it.
@@noircrew TRACE AMOUNTS are FOUND. It’s not right for him to word it like this to unsuspecting people, they aren’t INTENTIONALLY putting birth control in tap water…
Or you can just buy a 5 gallon water jug and refill it whenever at grocery store with a drinking water dispenser for less than $2 too still beats drinking tap water with a brita filter
We do get our water from springs, if you go to the store and buy spring water. Also 1000s of springs open to the public to go and get water. You just have to find them.
A fellow scientist! Microbiologist here to say the birth control stuff is bullshit. Flouride and heavy metals like mercury and lead will totally get filtered by a brita. Its a carbon filter and attracts that stuff like a magnet, literally sucking it out of the water based on the particles charge. It may not be perfect, but that bottled spring water you get at the store isnt perfect either. This dude is being nitpicky in my opinion, and basically assuming everyone has money to buy $6 singular bottles of water regularly. Reverse osmisis is nice but not necessary. If a damn lifestraw can purify mud im pretty sure brita will work fine for your tap water😂
THANK YOU!! I’m telling you this guy is trying so hard to be the Andrew Tate of food and drink. This is why you don’t let being a health nut be the only part of your personality.
@@timothyyounger4881Brita filters DO NOT filter flouride, don't spread lies. You're no better than OP. A simple google search is all it took to call you out on your bs
Ewg is a reputable organization that measures and analyzes the levels of all pollutants in all of California’s different tap water and the sources who supply the tap water. That’s where he is getting this information. He even sources it.
I was surprised to hear that , in USA they don't have ROs like , how you guys feel safe drinking directly from tap . Here in India almost every household has one( except the extremely poor ones)
I live in Cambridge, Massachusetts. They were over 15 pollutants in my water. 14 of them were caused simply by adding chlorine to the water and they can cause cancer. One scared me which is rhodium which is nuclear active but I'm pretty sure that comes from MIT waste.
@@BerryFin for your health you should be putting maximum effort Not saying that 150 dollars is a small amount of money, but for your health it's worth it.
@@cockerel6253 Not everyone has 150 to spend on a water filter or needs it. I don't use that water filter and I'm fine for a reason. Are there any significant benefits for using it?
Brita elite/longlast filters which fit into any pitcher and last 6 months instead of 2 months filter 99.9% of almost anything. Don't throw out your Brita just upgrade the filter. Reverse osmosis isn't realistic for most people and bottled water is much worse as it's not FDA regulated and leeches microplastics from the flimsy plastic containers they use.
The comments are so frustrating. I support your content dude. Corporations and money don't care about our health. It's time for america to take back our health.
@@panagiotischristo 90% of what he says is just fearmongering, there isn't straight up birth control and lethal doses of heavy metals. Not in my water, at least.
Water fluoridation (adding fluoride) has actually proven to be very beneficial in Europe at preventing tooth decay and tooth loss, that’s why we have it here also it’s necessary to add a small amount of chlorine during the water treatment process to kill any bacteria and pathogens present in the water. Unless you’d rather be drinking E.coli of course
Idk, reverse osmosis is known to significantly lower the Ph level of water and actively removes all natural minerals from the water. It’s also expensive and bulky to install and wastes more water than it produces. Reverse osmosis is designed to work only in environments where clean water is scarce. A carbon filter like one in a Brita will be enough to remove the Chlorine while still keeping the Flouride and electrolytes
I've known about reverse-osmosis for many years, by now. But since I rent, it's not like I'd go and install it in my rental unit. But if I ever get to be a homeowner, that's one of the first things I'd get for myself.
There's a RU-vid video that lab tests all those pitcher filters and found that it's Brita is not bad. However, they showed that aqua crest filters are better and fit the Brita pitcher. They also reduce fluoride while Brita does not
What i use is a 60 L fish tank, the beneficial bacteria colony along with the de chlorinating and de ironing the stuff makes is awesome. That is…if you arent too fussy about drinking biologically clean water that has hints of fish urine and poop Edit: its a joke 😂 But i do infact have a 60 L fish tank and seachem tidal filter
Out of the 14 above the limit(all of which are linked to cancer) the total percentage above the limit is around 90000% and for every hundred percent above the limit one out of a million people get cancer in their lifetime, leading to a cancer risk increase of 0.09%!
Yeah you know what, I could buy a $25 brita filter or I could just buy a whole ass reverse osmosis system for $300 so I can drink my water like tony stark would. Thanks SC Medicinals!
