Although the World Health Organization has warned of this dire situation for years, calling it the “largest mass poisoning of a population in history”, it took a comprehensive multicultural study to pound home the facts and consequences. One can’t help but wonder what other regions and populations may suffer undefined arsenic toxicity without knowing it.
From CNN:
By the end of the study, one in five deaths were determined to be directly related to elevated arsenic levels in their system. Stretch that over the entire population that takes its water from wells, and the impact is daunting.
So encourage you to research the levels of arsenic in the soil and water where you live, then take the necessary precautions with an appropriate arsenic water filter. It’s relatively inexpensive protection from potentially priceless damage.
