Best Shower Filter to Remove Toxic and Carcinogenic Chemicals

Author: Marie Jones

Recently, Dr. Oz dedicated an entire hour show to the alarming state of our nation's water supply.
The EPA admits clean water laws have lagged behind available scientific proof that our drinking and bathing water supply is full of dangerous chemicals.  Administrator Lisa Jackson, says the EPA will need 3-4 years to complete new standards for at least 16 toxic chemicals in our water.  And, after that, how many years will they give the municipal water systems to comply?
This is a massive job to clean up the nation's water supply.  Since government wheels turn slowly, it is up to individuals to protect themselves and their families now.
Using a drinking water filter is a "no brainer", since bottled water may well be tap water from another region.  And now we realize that a shower filter is just as important.
You get double exposure to dangerous chemicals in the shower.   First, a nice warm shower opens the pores of your largest organ (skin) to absorb the hazardous chemicals.  Also, your lungs absorb the gas from the chlorine (chloroform) and vaporized VOC's, taking it right into your bloodstream.
Chlorine is the most obvious example.  Leaving chlorine on your skin and hair after you shower affects not only your health but your appearance, too.  Chlorine is a chemical antiseptic, with bleaching ability, that strips the natural oils from hair and skin. Chlorine in your shower water leaves your skin and hair dry and lifeless.  It must be filtered out of water you use for showering.
Look for a 2 stage shower filter with Consumer's Digest Best Buy rating.  Your family needs and deserves healthy water. You will be surprised that the best shower filter is inexpensive and easy to install.
