Your reusable water bottle may be a breeding ground for strep and fecal bacteria. Here’s how to keep it clean

Like many people, Carl Behnke regularly totes a water bottle around throughout his day. From the office to the gym and back home again, Behnke is rarely without it. But Behnke is also an associate professor in the school of hospitality and tourism management at Purdue University, and when he discovered a “biofilm” on the inside of his water bottle while cleaning it, it got his wheels turning. “I realized I probably wasn’t as diligent about cleaning my water bottle as I should be,” he explains. “And that made me curious: if someone who knows about food safety isn’t diligent, what about everyone else?”

That question led to a study, conducted by Behnke and a cohort of academics and scientists into how reusable bottle contamination levels are…

Brita Water Filter Company Accused of False Advertising
Brita Water Filter Company Accused of False Advertising

A lawsuit filed against the maker of some of the nation’s most popular water filtration systems has accused the Brita company of falsely advertising that its products remove or reduce hazardous contaminants from tap water.

The proposed class-action lawsuit, which was filed Wednesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, claims that deceptive advertising has led customers to falsely believe that Brita products filter such contaminants as arsenic, nitrate, hexavalent chromium and certain PFAS, or “forever chemicals,” from tap water.

Brita is owned by Clorox Co., which is headquartered in Oakland. Clorox released a…

Is Alkaline Water Better Than Plain Water?

The human body comprises approximately 60% water. It's vitally important, as every cell needs water to function properly, per the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Beyond maintaining the body's hydration levels, drinking water also helps to flush toxins and waste products from the body, lubricate the joints, produce saliva, and control the body's temperature, says the USGS. According to the…

Is Your Drinking Water Polluted By Big Pharma?
Is Your Drinking Water Polluted By Big Pharma?

Scientists studying the world’s rivers found dangerous levels of drugs are contaminating water on every continent — including in the U.S. — because pharmaceuticals are not purified out of drinking water systems. By Gary Wockner, Ph.D.

In my recent interview on “RFK, Jr. The Defender” podcast, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and I discussed how everyone in Southern California may be drinking the drugs that are washed down the drain in Las Vegas.

In fact, Las Vegas’ wastewater treatment system dumps into Lake Mead, which then flows down the Colorado River and is piped and pumped out of the river to serve as the drinking water source for all of Southern California.

But drugs — pharmaceuticals specifically — are not purified out of wastewater and are often not purified out of drinking water systems unless very expensive purification systems are used.

On Feb. 14, 2022, a scientific paper was released that studied the level of drugs, chemicals and pharmaceuticals in rivers…

An answer to the article entitled, ALKALINE WATER: Healthy or Harmful—Dr. David Friedman (his own Health Blog, Mar. 8, 2021)

An answer to the article entitled, ALKALINE WATER: Healthy or Harmful—Dr. David Friedman (his own Health Blog, Mar. 8, 2021)

This article was written by a very highly respected doctor with credentials in all fields relating to natural remedies, treatments, diagnosis, prognosis, et al. His credentials are not in question in my response to his article. What is in question is what reasoning did he use to draw his conclusions.

In the first paragraph it is obvious his target was the company which brought “electrolysis” into our vocabulary for something other than hair removal. It is Kangen. His article, using “alkaline water” as the culprit, was really talking about water electrolysis (WE)—…
