The Dirty DozenSaturday, April 25, 2015 - by Water2Drink![]() Atrazine Molecule It’s human nature to discount or ignore issues that are not
right in front of us. You pay attention
to the bus that cut you off in traffic, but are you thinking about chemical disruptions
that may be happening in your body right now? Endocrine disruptors are hormone-altering chemicals that do
exactly as they say: they disrupt important bodily functions that are driven by
your #endocrine system. According to the Environmental Working Group’s (EWG)
website, endocrine disruptors can be responsible for “increasing production of
certain hormones; decreasing production of others; imitating hormones; turning
one hormone into another; interfering with hormone signaling; telling cells to
die prematurely; competing with essential nutrients; binding to essential
hormones; {and} accumulating in organs that produce hormones.”
Of the EWG’s “Dirty Dozen” #endocrinedisruptors, water-borne
contaminants are the easiest to avoid by using an NSF-tested and certified water
filter. All Multipure Drinking Water Systems are certified by NSF International to reduce the
greatest number of #contaminants, including many of those on the EWG’s Dirty
Dozen list. BPA, atrazine, lead, arsenic, mercury, fire retardants, and
pesticides are reduced by using a #Multipure Drinking Water System. |
