Tap water across America has been found to contain deadly levels of arsenic, according to a report by the Environmental Working Group (EWG).
While we previously reported that PFAS “forever chemicals” were detected in America’s the water supply, it cannot be overlooked that arsenic, a metal naturally found in the earth’s crust, is also deadly to humans.
Newstarget.com reports: Particularly in the American Southwest, arsenic-contaminated water is a serious issue that is only being made worse by pesticide use on crops and industrial processes like cement manufacturing, both of which leave behind toxic residues in groundwater used for drinking.

Prolonged exposure to arsenic is linked to damaged DNA, which in turn can lead to cancer. Arsenic is also linked to immune system dysregulation, high blood pressure and heart disease.
Researchers at Florida International University (FIU) in Miami warn that arsenic contamination is not getting nearly enough attention as PFAS, despite it posing a similar health risk.
“Since many countries are still affected by high levels of arsenic, we believe arsenic exposure is a global public health issue that requires urgent action,” FIU scientists say.
“People who live in areas with naturally high levels of arsenic in the soil and water are at particular risk. In the U.S., for example, that includes regions in the Southwest such as Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico.”
Bottled water is also often contaminated with arsenic
Consumer Reports conducted an investigation in 2019 about arsenic in bottled water, which similarly shows that many popular brands are also contaminated with the toxin at levels above the legal limit.
That limit, as set by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is currently 10 parts per billion (ppb).
Then we have baby food, which also often contains arsenic at levels far higher than the legal limit. There have been studies to suggest that children who consume arsenic-tainted baby food end up with lower IQ scores compared to their peers.
In 2017, the American Chemical Society (ACS) published a study showing that up to 2.1 million people across the United States are exposed to arsenic simply through their drinking water, let alone added exposure through bottled water, baby food, juices and other products.
It is also important to note that the human body can absorb arsenic through skin and inhalation in addition to through food and water. There are many routes of entry into the body for arsenic, in other words.
“Research suggests that it damages DNA, stops cells from communicating with one another and impairs the immune system, creating the perfect environment for cancers to grow,” reports explain.
“Arsenic in soil and rock can dissolve into groundwater and get into drinking water wells. The chemical can enter food when used by farmers as a pesticide and fertilizer … Chronic exposure to arsenic raises the risk of developing multiple types of cancer.”
We also know that arsenic interferes with cell signaling pathways while disrupting the immune system, both of which further put the body on the pathway towards the formation of cancer.
Arsenic is also linked to the formation of cancer stem cells, meaning the cells inside tumors that cause cancer to grow and spread throughout the body – not good.
In order to reduce the burden of arsenic-related health effects, Andrade-Feraud, PhD candidate, and Diana Azzam, assistant professor of Environmental Health Sciences at FIU, said more people need to learn how to reduce their exposure to the toxin.
And in labs doing Cancer research aka how to invent deadly cancers , they feed it with whitecrefines sugar as the growth acceleraht because it drives ot crazy into spreading like pouring kerosene or gasoline on a fire .
And recently in the last 10 years or so I saw on msm evening National news a scientist gleefully announcing that they had finally successfully developed a totally incurable form of cancer
To get rid of arsenic, mercury and lead, you can take Alpha lipoic acid supplement daily. Its in any health food store or vitamin shop.
That’s great for treating diabetes too.
just because they reduced the trigger threshold for arsenic measurement in water doesn’t mean it’s deadly.
The lifespans of Americans, except because of their diet and overconsumption have pretty decent life spans when they’re not doing dumb things to shorten them.
Drinking water with extremely small trace amounts of arsenic isn’t one of them.
The EPA shill that sponsored this article needs to go to find a bridge to jump off of.
more people are getting cancer from the clot shot than anything else these days, and dying much more quickly.
Water studies have shown far more than just arsenic in water for decades. Next fearporn story please, except this time make me laugh.
They poison us in every way possible. Crimes against humanity demand executions.
