8 Cancer Causing Drinks You Need to Avoid

1. Tap Water

In the United States, it’s common to drink tap water, but have we stopped to think about all the chemicals present in it? As a country with an almost ancient water infrastructure, the government actively encourages the use of chemicals to “clean” the water of harmful biological product. Chlorine is one such cleaning agent (yes, the stuff in your community swimming pool), but there are many others that are far more dangerous.

Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), a disinfectant byproduct known to be 1000 times more toxic than chlorine, is one of them. The Environmental Working Group, a watchdog agency, conducted tests on commonly consumed foods and beverages. It found that there were probable human carcinogens in tap water samples tested in 43 states! Given this information, we think it’s smart to invest in a water filtration system for the home!
