Your Drinking Water May Be Damaging Your Thyroid

Water. We all know we need to drink more of it for health, detoxification, weight loss and so much more. But did you know that toxins in your water like lead and nitrates can can cause stress to your liver, and that fluoride in your water can be damaging your thyroid, leading to weight gain, fatigue, and depression? Recently, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) reviewed 20 million water-quality tests from the past five years and found that 85 percent of the population is drinking water that contains 316 contaminants. About 200 of those contaminants are not regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency, meaning that municipalities are not required to remove them.
