Most water contains only inorganic minerals, and these minerals can cause problems to human health. The body cannot easily process inorganic minerals, and what the body cannot absorb may be stored in our tissues and organs. They will ultimately become toxic to the body.
The primary inorganic mineral that should be avoided is calcium salts. Over time these can result in gallstones, bone and joint calcification, arthritis, kidney stones, and hardening and blocking of our arteries. Long term exposure to toxic or radioactive minerals poses the risk of organ failure. Cancer could also be a consequence of consuming toxic or radioactive minerals that are found in tap and natural spring water.
Many people believe that well water is safe to drink. This is not true because samples of Texas well water have revealed the presence of many inorganic substances. No one can be absolutely certain what these chemicals will do to the body, but it is clear that the Federal Government considers water unsafe with these inorganic compounds in it. The body has a difficult time processing inorganic minerals.
