Finally: Enough Evidence to Put a Cap on Water and Plastic Bottling
Industry
Water Expert, Peter Goodgold, Available for Interviews to Speak on USA
Today, “BPA,
Bisphenol A”
Report about Contaminants in Plastic Bottles
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (Business Wire EON) April 24, 2008 --
Peter Goodgold, the President of www.WaterWorks4u.com,
a life-long expert in the water industry, author and speaker with
extensive knowledge concerning plastic bottling practices, water
contamination, water pollution, carcinogens in water, including the now
proven toxic use of BPA Bisphenol A that leeches from plastic bottles
into human beings, is available for television commentary and newspaper
interviews on this subject.
”It’s about time the
truth about toxins and chemicals in plastic bottles came to the
forefront,” says Goodgold, referring to the
report by USA Today as seen on the home page of America On Line (http://money.aol.com/usat/general/dangerous-plastics-the-bpa-problem)
discussing the leeching of BPA Bisphenol A into the water we drink.
USA Today/AOL Story Finally Reveals Truths About Toxins in Plastic
Water Bottles
In the USA Today/AOL Story, the following highlights of the dire
consequences American’s, children and even the
unborn were being subjected to by consuming BPA Bisphenol A include the
following:
-
BPA is found in polycarbonate plastic, including most shatterproof
baby bottles and sports water bottles, toys, dental sealants, food
cans and microwaveable food containers.
-
Rodent studies of bisphenol A, used in polycarbonate bottles, food
cans and other products, have linked the synthetic estrogen to a host
of human diseases.
-
In experiments that looked at the reproductive systems of rodents
-- which scientists say are comparable to humans -- doses similar to
what a newborn would ingest from a bottle caused cells to divide at a
faster rate and led to enlarged prostates and, eventually, prostate
cancer.
-
Scientists say fetuses and infants are especially at risk because
they are still developing major parts of their body and BPA can alter
how their genes are activated.
-
BPA is found in the resin in can linings, in the polycarbonate in
baby bottles, in dental sealants and elsewhere. The longer a liquid
sits in a container made of BPA, the more BPA can leach into the
product.
-
Some medical conditions that have been associated with BPA in
rodents:
-
Early onset of puberty, Obesity, Diabetes, Hyperactivity,
Breast cancer, Impaired immune function, Sperm defects, Prostate
cancer and disease, Impaired reproductive development
BPA/Bisphenol A Proven to Harm Humans and Fetuses
“Chemicals, pollutants and toxins in our water
could very well be the most serious problem this country is facing,”
says Goodgold, “it affects the health,
vitality and well being of virtually every person across the United
States, and now we see from this new report that Bisphenol A now has a
serious, negative and detrimental affect on unborn fetuses and infants
as well.”
Adds Goodgold, “The economic as well as
medical consequences not just of the new Bisphenol A report are simply
incalculable and almost unfathomable, but now it comes right on the
heels of another major breaking investigative news report released
barely a month ago by the Associated Press (AP) who conducted a five
month investigation revealing the frightening and startling news about
the serious contamination of the nation’s
water supply.”
The Nation’s Water Supply is Tainted with
Pharmaceutical Drugs
The article “Prescription Drugs Found in the
Drinking Water Across U.S.” (http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/03/10/pharma.water1.ap/)
which appeared on the CNN.com news site contained some of the following
key headlines and story points:
-
A vast array of pharmaceuticals -- including antibiotics,
anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones -- have been found
in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans, an
Associated Press investigation shows.
-
In the course of a five-month inquiry, the AP discovered that drugs
have been detected in the drinking water supplies of 24 major
metropolitan areas -- from Southern California to Northern New Jersey,
from Detroit, Michigan, to Louisville, Kentucky.
-- Members of the AP National Investigative Team reviewed hundreds of
scientific reports, analyzed federal drinking water databases, visited
environmental study sites and treatment plants and interviewed more than
230 officials, academics and scientists. Watch

They also surveyed the nation's 50 largest cities and a dozen other
major water providers, as well as smaller community water providers in
all 50 states. Here are some of the key test results obtained by the AP:
• Officials in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
said testing there discovered 56 pharmaceuticals or byproducts in
treated drinking water, including medicines for pain, infection, high
cholesterol, asthma, epilepsy, mental illness and heart problems.
Sixty-three pharmaceuticals or byproducts were found in the city's
watersheds.
• Anti-epileptic and anti-anxiety medications
were detected in a portion of the treated drinking water for 18.5
million people in Southern California.
• Researchers at the U.S. Geological Survey
analyzed a Passaic Valley Water Commission drinking water treatment
plant, which serves 850,000 people in Northern New Jersey, and found a
metabolized angina medicine and the mood-stabilizing carbamazepine in
drinking water.
• A sex hormone was detected in the drinking
water of San Francisco, California.
• The drinking water for Washington, D.C.,
and surrounding areas tested positive for six pharmaceuticals.
Problems with Nation’s Water Supply are
Now Crystal Clear
“It is crystal clear, unlike the contaminated
tap water flowing from the nation’s sinks and
the chemically tainted water American’s are
sipping out of toxic water bottles every day,”
says Goodgold that something must be done to immediately address this
problem.
“This is an election year and this should
become a front and center national topic, this is one issue that Obama,
Hillary and John McCaine can rally around and get support for,”
says Goodgold. Goodgold, a Wellington, Florida resident continues: “It
is a business fact that companies such as Aquafina, Coca Cola, Dsani,
Evian, among others are purging and ravaging our water supply around the
country, then packaging it in poisonous plastic bottles and selling it
to Americans at an insane profit. Something is wrong with this picture,”
says Goodgold.
For more than 20 years Goodgold has been lecturing around the country
about the benefits of drinking highly alkalized, high-ph balanced,
ionized water and the extraordinary health benefits proven to be derived
when drinking this electrically charged, highly purified water through
his easily adaptable system. Goodgold is the inventor of the Rejuvenator
Water Purification Device, (www.waterworks4u.com)
the least expensive and arguably the most potent and powerful water
ionizer on the market.
While traveling around the country, during his presentations Goodgold
discusses the issues facing Americans who daily drink contaminated water
quietly flowing out of their water faucets and the negative health
effects Americans are unknowingly suffering from drinking their tap
water. In his presentation Goodgold also discusses the corporate plunder
of the nation’s water resources. He serves as
an ardent advocate trumpeting the cause of the deadly health abuse of
this country’s citizens by corporate America
bottling and packaging water in chemically tainted bottles. Says
Goodgold, “What big companies are doing to
our water supply and what some of the nation’s
largest bottling and plastics companies are serving to Americans could
arguably be the biggest conspiracy and scandal the world has ever seen.”
“Eventually, all truths are revealed,”
says Goodgold, "and this incredible topic could not have come at a
better time, a time when this country is reviewing who it wants to lead
this nation, this issue should be a top agenda for any Presidential
candidate to get behind and support.”
Presidential Candidates Should Endorse Article 31: All American’s
Should Have the Right to Drink Clean and Accessible Water
Goodgold encourages that both Republican and Democratic Parties adopt as
a platform for their candidates Article 31, a document presented to the
United Nations in 1948 to add a “31st
article” to the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights establishing clean and potable water as a fundamental human
right. “We are seriously and severely lacking
that right in this country and these two reports prove this,”
says Goodgold. Article 31 states: Everyone has the right to clean and
accessible water, adequate for the health and well-being of the
individual and family, and no one shall be deprived of such access or
quality of water due to individual economic circumstance.
Live Younger, Healthier with Alkalized Ionized Water!
H2O consultant Peter Goodgold travels the USA lecturing on the benefits
of an alkaline diet as well as the health and longevity aspects of
drinking Alkalized Ionized water. His Rejuvenator water ionizer provides
alkalized, oxygen-rich antioxidant water directly from ordinary tap
water making it an effective tool balancing your body’s
pH. Peter Goodgold created Macrobiotic Raw Food restaurants in 1973 and
the healing center “Healing Waters”
which allowed people to detox, purify their bodies with live foods,
fasting, meditation and yoga. Fore more information, visit: www.waterworks4u.com
