Guest guest Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 AreTraces of Arsenic in Tap Water Linked to Diabetes?A new study has shown that people with small amounts of arsenic intheir urine are more likely to suffer from diabetes,and raises the possibility that drinking tap or bottle water contaminated withtrace amounts of arsenic may be a risk factor for the disease. The [diabetes] risk was apparent at levels generallyconsidered harmless and grew with increasing exposure [bloomberg]. "It seems there is may be no safe level ofarsenic," [lead researcher Ana] Navas-Acien said in a telephone interview."Worldwide it's a huge problem" [Reuters]. Previous epidemiological studies in Bangladesh, Mexico,and Taiwanhave shown that drinking water with high levels of arsenic in linked to highrates of diabetes. While safety standards for drinking water are much stricterin the United States,researchers say that 13 million Americans may be drinking water with arseniclevels that exceed federal guidelines. People in rural areas who drink wellwater may be particularly at risk, researchers say.Arsenic is a toxic element commonly found in rocks and soil, and which can get into drinking water naturally when mineralsdissolve. It is also an industrial pollutant from coal burning and coppersmelting. Utilities use filtration systems to get it out of drinking water.Seafood also contains nontoxic organic arsenic [AP].ANOTHER ARTICLE ON DIABETES AND ARSENICExposure to low and moderate levels of inorganic arsenic ofthe type found in drinking water has been linked to diabetes. Scientists have long connected arsenic exposure to cancer, but newresearch indicates that the chemical may also play a role in the development oftype 2 diabetes. Researchers at Johns Hopkins reported recently in the Journal of the AmericanMedical Association that exposure to low or moderate levels of inorganicarsenic, usually found in drinking water, is correlated with the developmentof type 2 diabetes. According to USA Today, "participants with type 2diabetes had a 26% higher level of inorganic arsenic than those who didn't havethe disease."Amazingly, I purchased a water treatment system to remove Arsenic and increase the pH in the water, in a matter of several weeks my glucose came down to almost normal. I no longer need insulin or drugs to control diabetes, in addition to this water and nutrition my energy level is incredible high.I am not posting here to sell anything just to share information, I have several pages on nutrition pH etc, send me an email and I will be glad to send you the pages =mymail948 You will be please.Blessingshar «¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»§ - PULSE ON 21st CENTURY ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE! §Subscribe send email to: - «¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»GREAT VACATION RENTAL ON THE LAKE: www.vacationhomerentals.com/39833 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
