yet another reason to use a water filter

We fibroid shrinkers need lots of water to help us flush toxins out of our systems. But the contaminants in regular tap water don't help when we are trying to purify ourselves. And bottled water is not necessarily the best alternative -- water in plastic bottles can have plastic leached into it if the bottles have been allowed to get warm. I can often taste the plastic when drinking bottled water, which means there is something in there that I don't need.

For that reason, as part of my fibroid battle plan, I got a reverse osmosis water filter. My research indicates that this is the best kind of filter. You can get one to do all the water in your house, or one to fit on a individual tap. There are a variety of reverse osmosis filters available. You can really taste the difference -- water filtered this way is delicious!

And now just out is more news about why filtering your tap water is important -- evidently one of the things contaminating tap water is pharmaceuticals, including sex hormones. That certainly can't be good for the fibroids! More info here: http://www.ewg.org/node/26128
