This should be very disturbing to Americans. The rise in cancer rates, tumours etc. may result from a a lot of things, but over-treated water is probably as big a factor as anything else. It's true that smaller communities have better water but there's really no escape aside from increasing citizen oversight on water distribution companies. Who knows what the government is putting in there anyway. All kinds of toxins to control your mind and weaken your body and spirit. This is something that requires a real close look.

dave59, I so sincerely appreciate your illumination of such a tragic reality--that our water and our air and our bodies are polluted beyond our worst imagination. Was it rational thought that decided to run our cars and industries with petroleum rather than vegetable oils and belch death into the air we breathe? Was it some numbskulls that thought about adding formaldehyde and other toxic chemicals to a plethora of building materials used in our homes? Was it "responsible" governments and regulatory authorities and Wall Street that let companies and corporations set up factories along our waterways and ignore the dumping of heavy metals, rocket fuel, and every evil chemical devised by mankind into the water we drink, or encouraged farmers to taint our food supply with pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, synthetic hormones, and chemical fertilizers? Was it mere greed and irresponsibility when companies started injecting laundry / cleaning / personal care products and all the "air freshening" concoctions full of synthetic chemical "fragrances" that literally surround our homes and our bodies with neurotoxins and carcinogens and ravage our bodies? Was it medical professionals that insult the Hippocratic Oath by prescribing toxic "medicine" produced by profiteering pharmaceutical companies or all the over-the-counter "poisons" the FDA approves with a "rubber stamp" that make us sick? Who had the crazy idea to fill the food we eat with sinister chemicals in the form of artificial food coloring, flavors, and preservatives? It's all of the above and more! Populations are kept sick and weak and focused on their own problems, so they die or fall into complacency while corporations are allowed to run rampant and reap huge profits on their backs--with complete disregard for human life and well-being. We should all be infuriated and demand with our vote and pocketbooks to force radical change.
