The Truth About Tap Water…
…is that, in the USA, it is more often than not, harmful because most of the time it is laced with fluoride. Fluoride is a toxic industrial waste. As one commenter noted, the US public has been made to believe that fluoride is good…well I wanted to put some more resources here for us all to get re-educated (photos & citations)
The Fluoride Deception This is a very illuminating video. (30 min)
~*~
From the map we can see that Hawaii, Oregon, Utah, Montana and perhaps New Jersey are the only states where less than 25% of the tap water is fluoridated.. Fluoride is poison and is NOT healthy for human consumption. More than not healthy, fluoride is harmful!

- American Dental Association (.pdf) admits that flouride is harmful to the development of teeth (So, I say, don’t buy fluoridated baby bottled water. Don’t reconstitute baby formula with fluoridated tap water.)
- Fluoride is used in rat poison to kill them
- Fluoride is linked to other heavy metal toxins that found in drinking water [such as] lead, arsenic, aluminum and cadmium (Dartmouth News)
- Tooth decay is prevented through good nutrition and oral hygiene
- Ninety percent of the fluoride we use to fluoridate U.S. water systems comes directly from the pollution scrubbing systems of the phosphate fertilizer industry. Recently, there has been some concern among clean water activists about the purity of this industrial grade fluoride, known as hydrofluosilicic acid. As investigative journalist George Glasser has pointed out, this hydrofluosilicic acid contains trace amounts of numerous heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and arsenic. (Fluoride Action Network)
Brita filters out particulate matter, not fluoride. This is what you can do now. Learn about what distillation is here. Then get your very own counter top distillation unit or not. (This is a distillation unit, not a reverse osmosis unit, which is also an effective way to remove Fluoride from water)

That list of naturally occurring components of coffee can be found at Dr Duke’s Phytochemical and Ethnobotanical Databases Organic coffee has all of that (above) but doesn’t have any of the additional chemicals associated with non-organic farming and processing of regular and of decaffeinated coffee.
So “cui bono” when your cuppa joe is tainted with stuff that can, over time, challenge your body to the point of illness? Who needs that?
Now I know coffee can be addicting. A friend of mine simply must start her day with a cup of espresso. Without it she gets terrible headaches…
For those who drink decaffeinated coffee, please note that only the “Swiss process” uses strictly water as the chemical solvent t extract the caffeine. Other processes of decaffeination use other solvents are actually toxic! So drinking decaffeinated coffee, has less caffeine (NOT ZERO caffeine!) and a lot more less than healthful chemicals thrown in to boot.
In order to extract caffeine the coffee is soaked in a solvent. The solvents, except for water, are not beneficial to health and invariably traces of the solve remain on the coffee.
Here are the solvents that are often used to extract caffeine commercially: trichlorethylene central nervous system depressant, carcinogen) , methylene chloride (less toxic, metabolized into carbon monoxide n the body), ethyl acetate.
So if you enjoy coffee or you just have to have it, for any reason, why make yours organic! Your body will love you for it!
