This is basically the same thing as Manheim uses. Has anyone seen a recent study looking into the correlation between the percentage of the population using treated Grand Water and the cases of cancer?

And now with 4 litre toilets being promoted (and rewarded $$$ for being installed) it only follows that the concentration of all this harmful "stuff" is getting into our bodies at an increasingly <strong> concentrated</strong> rate. Yes we need to conserve water for certain but it would be interesting to see the differences in contaminate concentration over the last 10 years with the further concentration in lieu of dilution of the 'dirty' water . GREN and it's members and others will carry on protecting what we can and guarding our existing community wells and recharge areas, as in Doon South etc. Ginny.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>PS Even the so called "Organic" veggies are subject to suspicion. I've been told one of the largest "organic farms " in the US is located right beside a very large airport.!!! HELLO. The so called "baby cut" carrots are sold as organic in some sections yet they are soaked in the 'preservative' to make them last 15-21 days I do NOT regard that as "Organic" as it has these additives. I do not buy "baby cuts" and have supported our kids in that the convenience is not worth the risk.
