Pure vs. Plastic: The Truth About Reverse Osmosis
Manage episode 482817719 series 3654240
What Is Reverse Osmosis And How Does It Compare To Bottled Water?
What you don't know about your bottled water could be harming your health. The convenience we've come to rely on masks a troubling reality: those plastic water bottles are slowly leaching chemicals into your drinking water that disrupt your hormones, accumulate in your organs, and potentially contribute to chronic health issues.
Dr. Sibley, an internal medicine physician with 35 years of experience, explains that plastic water bottles contain phthalates that act as endocrine disruptors in the body. "It's almost like giving you extra estrogen," she warns, potentially triggering early puberty in girls and disrupting normal development and hormonal function in boys. Even more concerning, microplastics break off from these bottles and accumulate in the brain, liver, and spleen. Heat dramatically accelerates this leaching process, making those cases of water sitting in the sun at gas stations or bottles left in hot cars particularly problematic.
Reverse osmosis water filtration offers a compelling alternative, removing 96-99% of contaminants from your water source. When this purified water is stored properly in glass containers, you eliminate the ongoing chemical exposure from plastic. As water treatment expert Dan Toth reminds us, "If you're not using a filter, you are the filter" - a sobering thought when considering what our bodies must process. Many people spend more time researching vacation destinations than investigating what they consume daily, yet the cumulative effect of these toxins over time represents a significant health concern, especially for children growing up in what Dr. Sibley calls "a toxic soup."
