Are you a fan of ordinary, household tap water? I’m really not (no matter how much the local water authorities try to convince me) just based on the sources my local water comes from — which are not the cleanest by any means.

Well, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently stated that a type of chromium can cause cancer in lab animals when they drink it in water. Surprised? I’m not, oddly. Hexavalent chromium has already showed to be cancerous to the lungs when inhaled — and now, findings are that it is just as dangerous when consumed in water. Who here does not drink water? No hands went up — I thought so.

Avoiding the possibility of this in your drinking water means finding a natural (and generally expensive) water source from which to consume. In other words, bottled and shipped to you in many cases.
