painkillers blood thinners and
chemotherapy drugs are just some of the
substances that are found in your
drinking water there's new information
that some drugs are ending up in our
water at levels never seen
[Music]
before most people don't think about
where their water comes from they just
turn on the tap and they expect it to be
there it's a Public Health crisis of
massive proportions toxic cocktail of
chemicals in our tap water could lead to
cancer pfas which are chemicals used in
consumer products like firefighting foam
and non-stick cookware can be found in
610 locations across the country and
that includes drinking water for about
19 million people these chemicals could
result in over 100,000 cancer cases over
a lifetime which is about 70 years
thousands of people in parkerburg and
along the entire Ohio River were
contaminated they come and tested out
water and they said we'll send you a
report in a couple weeks or whatever and
they called us in a few days and they
said do not drink your water don't use
it for cooking nothing how high were
your levels when they told you about
your water they're supposed to be under
40 pots per trillion hours is 26,000
26,000 a lot of chemicals when they go
into your body or they end up in the
environment they break down they slowly
decompose P Fest don't do that once you
put P Fest somewhere it's going to stay
there practically forever they are
nearly indestructible so if you're
drinking tap water you might want to
think twice cuz it's pretty
toxic on the surface tap water sounds
like this great thing the government is
giving us peasants cheap practically
free drinking water how kind of them
right but in reality your tap water is
slowly killing you see every time you
drink a glass of American tap water
every time you take a shower wash your
hands or rinse your mouth you are
ingesting a giant cocktail of Highly
toxic chemicals toxic chemicals such as
pasas also known as forever chemicals
that stay in your body forever they are
found in every one of you are linked to
higher rates of cancer and birth defects
I've got great news for you and it's
right under this macaroni and cheese now
glass ovenware comes with a Teflon
finish so now glass is not the cleanup
problem it used to be between 1951 and
2003 almost 800 tons of pfoa that
special type of forever chemical that
also was found in my blood were
discharged by deont P contamination is
really a national crisis the more we
test the more we find it it is the
manufacturers like Dupont and 3M who
have gotten us here today so they've
known for 70 years that they were
poisoning the water and they didn't tell
the EPA they didn't tell their neighbors
they didn't tell their workers they
didn't tell anyone because they were
making too much money the FDA knew in
the 1960s the Department of Defense knew
in the 1970s the EPA has known since at
least the '90s and they didn't treat the
issue with the amount of urgency that it
needed the EPA doesn't require utilities
to regular test for them so there's
really no way for the average American
to know if it's even in their drinking
water right now or in their food there
has been no new drinking water standard
in the United States since the 1990s 30
years drinking top water also means that
you're drinking every pharmaceutical
drug known to man like birth control
people urinate out the drugs they take
into the waste water that then gets
treated and sent back to your faucets
some of the drug comes in us and through
us and out of us totally unchanged so we
actually have active drugs going into
the Waterway through our urine or feces
over the last several years the US
Geological Survey has tested the water
it found that something in the water is
tampering with the hormones of 85% of
the male smallmouth bass and a quarter
of the male largemouth bass and causing
them to develop female reproductive
traits researchers suspect
Pharmaceuticals from Human ways that the
Upstream water treatment plant can
filter there's also heavy metals like
lead chlorine pesticides fluoride
microplastics you might think your tap
water tastes terrible but water we bathe
in showerin could actually be more
dangerous than the water that we drink
yeah it's true you see when you drink
water our bodies filter some of the bad
stuff out that's not ideal because it's
still in your system but when we shower
or bathe our skin absorbs all the
contaminants like chlorine and stuff six
times faster than if we can drink this
is AR Tucson tap water and it's the same
water these are pool test drops that you
test your backyard swimming pool so if
it turns yellow there's chlorine in
there instantly yep now what I'm going
to do is I'm going to swish my fingers
around in this one a little bit to
simulate taking a bath or a shower drop
the same number of drops in the same
water I don't see anything so you're
telling me that in the 2 seconds you had
your fingers in that water where did it
go every bit of that chlorine was
absorbed through my skin and now it's
going into my bloodstream in fact this
is what a reverse osmosis filter in an
American Home looks like like after just
3 months of use needless to say if you
want to be a king you shouldn't be
drinking the water of the peasants but
why why is American tap water this
terrible welcome to evil food supply and
this is how America poisoned our
water as Mark Twain once said you know
whiskey is for sipping and water is for
fighting and there there's going to be a
lot of fighting about this before it's
done
the wealthiest individuals do not
consume the same water as the general
public so it is recommended that you opt
for highquality water as well similarly
they also invest differently from the
masses they don't just invest in public
markets that's for the commoners also
with the way the media works these days
those stocks and bonds could become
worthless in a matter of weeks the
wealthy spend so wisely that even their
Splurge purchases are investments like
one of the most exclusive luxury assets
Fine Art Investments like these tend to
be less impacted by recent events which
is why last fall while everyone was
panicking about inflation and interest
rates some of the wealthiest Americans
were trying to get their hands on Paul
Allen's art collection this isn't a new
trend since 1995 Blue Chip art pieces
outpaced the S&P 500 by
131% according to city and according to
deoe the global value of art is expected
to grow a whopping $1 trillion by 2026
which means there's still time for
everyday investors this is why what
Masterworks is doing is so special their
team has created a one-of-a-kind
database tracking decades worth of
auction records they're giving you the
opportunity to invest in fractional
shares of Contemporary Art from Legends
like Picasso bsy and Mane meaning you
only invest a fraction of this
masterpiece True Value and you still see
proportional Returns on your investment
to date Masterworks has sold over $45
Million worth of artwork and distributed
the net proceeds to investors which
explains why over 700,000 people have
signed up so far offerings usually sell
out in hours so they've had to make a
wait list but our subscribers can skip

description in the late 1800s Americans
started laying down the pipes for their
tap water infrastructure and what
material did they build these water
pipes out of why they chose the most
durable malleable abundant metal they
could find lead see back then they
didn't know lead was all that bad they
just wanted to build some awesome pipes
and so America's tap water was being
delivered straight to your faucet via
toxic lead pipes and as the decades went
on scientists began to realize that
exposure to lead even in very small
amounts could lead to things like
blindness and anemia but the damage had
already been done America had been
drinking lead tainted water for decades
at this point by the 1920s multiple
states banned the installation of lead
pipes but the problem was what about all
the lead pipes that were already
installed you can't just tear out all
the lead pipes Across the Nation it
would be a near impossible feat not to
mention very expensive so local
governments took a shortcut they added
an anti-corrosion chemical directly into
the water supply to counteract the
runoff from the lead pipe
so when the water runs to the lead pipes
this anti-corrosion chemical sticks to
the lead pipes and forms a protective
barrier between the pipes and the tap
water this seemed like a genius Quick
Fix at the time but it definitely wasn't
foolproof random vibrations from the
ground can cause this protective layer
to Chip Away exposing your tap water to
high amounts of lead one man in Chicago
tested his tap water while construction
was going on outside his house and he
found that it was infected with LED at
455,000
ppb the EPA considers 15 ppb to be
dangerous but it's not just random
vibrations that can expose you to lead
remember the Flint Water Crisis back in
the early 2010s the mayor of Flint
Michigan decided to switch the city's
water supply from the Detroit River to
the cheaper Flint River to save money
but the problem was the Flint River
water was dirtier than the Detroit River
water so the mayor decided that the best
solution was to just add in more
cleansing agents to clean it what he
didn't know was that these extra
chemicals made the water more acidic and
this acidic water stripped that
anti-corrosion layer inside the lead
pipes and so lead from those aging pipes
started leaking into the water
supply and soon the entire city of Flint
Michigan had brown dirty smelly lead
filled water coming out of their faucets
and as of today there are between 9 .7
and 12.8 million lead water pipes still
in operation serving 22 million
Americans lead water pipes that at any
random moment can absolutely destroy
your health especially for kids lead
exposure can cause speech and language
problems developmental delays decreased
bone and muscle growth poor muscle
coordination damage to the nervous
system kidneys and or hearing seizures
and even unconsciousness in cases of
extremely high Lea levels but lead is
just one of the ingredients in your
glass of American tap water we already
covered how fluoride was introduced into
our water supply in this video that you
can watch by clicking the card on the
top right corner so what we need next is
a little sprinkle of forever
[Music]
chemicals in the early early 1900s
American tap water wasn't too bad aside
from the lead we didn't have any weird
chemicals or drugs in the water to worry
about but what we did have was waterbor
bacteria and this type of bacteria could
kill someone in an instant and to remedy
this bacteria issue counties All Over
America started dumping chlorine into
their tap water at first people
protested against this I don't want to
drink bleach but after a while they just
accepted it drinking a tiny bit of
bleach was better than dying from mutant
bacteria so everyone shut their mouths
and started drinking bleach along with
the lead but then in 1938 everything
changed when a scientist accidentally
discovered Teflon a synthetic chemical
that made everything non-stick
waterproof and slippery it was a miracle
chemical and Dupont started putting it
in everything from non-stick pans to
pizza boxes and so the American Chemical
boom began it was a magical time when
companies like Dupont and 3M thought all
the world's problems could be solved
with chemistry nearly everything in our
daily lives is improved by chemistry so
chemical factories started popping up in
small towns All Over America these small
towns needed the money the jobs and they
were more than happy to work for an
exciting cuttingedge company that was
producing chemicals for a Better Living
but little did these towns know that in
order to make things like Teflon Dupont
had to produce a chemical so strong so
durable that it's basically
indestructible an indestructible class
of chemicals called pasas specifically
pfoa and
PTFE these past chemicals are so
indestructible that they would later be
nicknamed forever chemicals because they
do not break down in nature and during
this manufacturing process these
factories would create a lot of toxic
forever chemical waste forever chemical
waste that would need to be disposed of
somewhere right right and in the
beginning these chemical makers did
pretty much what every other American
Factory tends to do they burned the
waste and piped it right into the air or
dumped it straight into the ground
either way these forever chemicals would
end up contaminating the groundwater and
as the years went on the people who
lived in these small towns with newly
infected tap water would develop things
like cancer and hormonal disorders John
Hickey a man who lived in HK Falls
developed kidney cancer at the age of 60
even though though none of his genetic
line had it and past chemicals which
include pfoa and PTFE have been linked
to kidney cancer specifically he
eventually found out that his tap water
contained extremely high levels of pfoa
it had been drinking it for decades
toxic chemicals linked to Serious
diseases like oh cancer liver damage and
thyroid disease and guess what they
never ever ever degrade this woman from
North Carolina lost her baby from
drinking pfoa Rich tap water during her
pregnancy did it ever occur to you that
that water might be contaminated never
not in a million years so I breastfeed
my my daughter for at least a year and I
was happy it was fine everything was
fine and suddenly she becomes 40 years
old and she's slightly disabled why
because she had a shortness of oxygen in
her in her brain maybe the problem is
caused by that Chemical Company maybe
not she dying no will she get cancer who
knows I don't know today forever
chemicals have infected practically all
of our water supply with nearly all
Americans including newborn babies
carrying p in their bloodstream but if
you thought forever chemicals were the
end of it oh you're so sadly
[Music]
mistaken
here's the other thing you have to
understand about our tap water system
it's that a lot of that tap water that
comes out of your faucet comes from
recycled toilet water ah yes that's
right whenever you excrete out into your
toilet gets flushed down the drain into
a water treatment facility and back into
your tap water which is all fine and
dandy if these water treatment
facilities could actually filter out
everything but unfortunately they can't
most municipalities just don't have the
technology to filter out every single
random chemical out there which is a
problem because Americans take a lot of
drugs 60% of Americans over the age of
18 take at least one type of
pharmaceutical drug an antibiotic use
has skyrocketed to 270 million
prescriptions per year birth control
pills narcotics antibiotics proac all
these substances that contain a whole
cocktail of chemical compounds hormones
and other things that alter our bodies
are all getting excreted straight into
your tap water the other worrisome thing
about tap water is most of the
filtration systems used in
municipalities do not get rid of
antibiotics in water and I can guarantee
you that they are in almost all of our
commercial water systems and the effects
of drinking this random mix of
pharmaceuticals is pretty terrifying
scientists have done studies on fish who
swim in this drug filled sewage water
and they found that the male fish were
showing signs of feminization and some
were even being born intersex the
scientists also found residues of
anti-depressants like proac Alexa and
zolof in the brains of some of the fish
there's something happening to the
rainbow Darter a tiny fish that lives in
the rivers of Southern Ontario if
they're Downstream from a sewage
treatment plant the male fish turn into
females what's causing the males to
develop eggs human hormones res you from
prescription drugs that are flushed into
the river if you expose them to waste
water they will feminize they will have
eggs in the testies but it's not just
the fish Philadelphia tap water contains
56 different pharmaceutical drugs
Southern California water has high
amounts of both anti-epileptic and
anti-anxiety medication whatever
medications your neighbors are taking
you are too and you might be thinking
well okay I'll just stick to bottled
water then bottled water isn't too bad
right well think again
[Music]
look on any bottled water label and you
will find words like pure purified life
but these bottled waters are far from
Pure and they are definitely not giving
you life see whenever you see anything
along the lines of purified water on a
bottle of water that's just a Rosy sound
founding name for American Municipal tap
water that you have to pay 3,000% more
for in a recent study it was found that
onethird of American bottled water
brands contain chemical contaminants
that exceed recommended levels and
apparently as long as these bottled
water companies don't go over the
maximum levels of contaminants listed by
the EPA the water can be sold that's
right these companies are literally just
filling up plastic bottles with tap
water and reselling it to you for 3,000%
the price and if there's a Sprinkle of
pasas or Pharmaceuticals that's just
fine as long as it's technically under
the limit even spring water bottles
aren't safe companies like Starkey
spring water contain three times more
arsenic than other brands Poland Spring
contains pasas and what about luxury
water brands like Evon that comes from
the French Alps or Fiji Water from the
rainforest of Fiji slowly filtered by
volcanic rock these waters are famous
for being the purest of the pure and for
the most part the water itself self is
not half bad but these brands are sold
in plastic bottles plastic bottles that
are repeatedly heated and cooled during
the manufacturing and shipping process
these plastic bottles also leak a pesky
little chemical called phalates into
your water en phalates are known to
block the production of Androgen the
male hormone that produces testosterone
plastic bottles also used to contain BPA
a chemical in plastic that has an almost
identical structure to human hormones in
BPA has been in our plastic bottles for
decades but in 2008 scientists found out
that it is extremely toxic even in low
Doses and can lead to things like severe
birth effects abnormally sized genitalia
and infertility and when the bottle
water companies found out about this
they immediately switched over to a
different chemical called BPS a
seemingly Noble move until studies
showed that BPS is pretty much the same
as BPA it's still possible to get a BPA
bottle most of them have have been
replaced with
BPS bottles but now the evidence is that
BPS acts exactly like BPA so my opinion
is try not to drink a bottle water that
comes in a plastic container yes they
did the old Switcheroo that major
corporations love to do when their
chemicals get called out but now they
get to slap a BPA free on their labels
so everyone trusts them again when in
reality they simply replace B PA with
another kind of the same
chemical so if American tap water is so
bad why doesn't the government do
anything about it simple there's no
incentive to think about it what's a
more pressing issue that will get votes
invisible chemicals in the water that
you can't see smell or taste that aren't
going to materialize and diseases until
decades later or the latest war or
social program but it's not just the
government that doesn't have an
incentive to clean up the water supply
the small water utilities across the US
also do everything they can to avoid
filtering chemicals because filtering
these complex industrial chemicals is
super expensive and tap water is a
business so if the water utilities
decide to only test water from a certain
area of town that is less toxic or only
report samples that Show Low toxicity
they're going to be inclined to do it
because the last thing they want is to
spend more money on expensive water
filtration methods because their water
was proven to be dirty a recent report
even showed that 33 cities including
Chicago Boston and Philadelphia
purposely manipulated their data to save
money on filtration so not only does the
government not care about your health
your local water utility doesn't care
either
even if the government did filter out
every pfast chemical pharmaceutical drug
and scrap of lead it's kind of too late
we've been saturating ourselves with
toxic tap water for over a century and
some of these chemicals might even alter
our DNA permanently fish that were
exposed to pharmaceutical drugs didn't
show traits of feminization until a few
Generations down the line so this means
the chemicals you're taking in today
could alter the hormones of your future
grandchildren we've all heard the number
that water makes up more than half of
our bodies water is the essence of life
it's the foundation of Your vitality so
you need to be taking it seriously and
you should not for the life of you be
drinking or bathing in tap water we are
not going to pretend that we have all
the answers we're still learning about
this ourselves but here's what we do we
only drink natural spring water that
comes in glass bottles like sanil REO
and lissia from Italy or Mountain Valley
from Oklahoma we just get boxes of these
shipped to our place every few weeks
sure it's a little more expensive but
you're a lot less likely to be drinking
birth control we have no affiliation
with these Brands but these brands
should definitely sponsor us if you're
watching and as for the tap water you
shower in that's a little trickier right
now we're testing out this shower filter
that reduces chloramine chlorine
fluoride iron lead heavy metals bacteria
and more from your shower w water and so
far it's definitely better than regular
tap water and if you want a cheat sheet
