Hello, and welcome to our video on The Pros and Cons of Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration: What a Toxicologist Thinks. Contents of this video: 00:00 Introduction 00:31 Reverse Osmosis Water Filters 01:16 Minerals in water 01:41 Dangers of Reverse Osmosis 03:02 Importance of Filtered Water 03:29 Pesticides in Water 05:20 Longterm Health Impact 06:24 Environmental Contamination 07:13 Toxicity of Water 07:46 Carbon Filtration 08:04 Need for Filtration In this video, Rod and Dr. Peter Dingle discuss the quality of tap water and the need for filtration. Rod expresses concern about the declining quality of public water and suggests considering reverse osmosis (RO) water filters as a solution. However, Dr. Dingle reveals that they have never been a fan of RO systems due to their removal of essential minerals from the water. These minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, selenium, iodine, molybdenum, and boron, are present in small amounts but are easily absorbed by the body. Dr. Dingle explains that RO systems remove these minerals and emphasises the importance of replenishing them for proper hydration and overall health. Dr. Dingle further emphasises the complexity of the issue, stating that there are numerous potential toxins in water, including chlorine, fluoride, and pesticides. He highlights the lack of knowledge and monitoring regarding pesticide usage and its byproducts, which can be more toxic than the original pesticide. He suggests that the long-term impact of these toxins on health should be taken into consideration, particularly for individuals over the age of 25. He mentions the stress it puts on the liver, the main detoxification organ and note the increase in diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver. The conversation then shifts to the necessity of filtration systems to remove contaminants from water. Rod mentions their preference for carbon filtration, particularly for removing pesticides. However, they both acknowledge that some contaminants may require an RO system despite the concerns expressed by Dr. Dingle. Ultimately, both agree on the need for filtration to ensure better water quality. Overall, this video highlights the concerns surrounding tap water quality, the potential harmful effects of contaminants and the importance of filtration systems in maintaining healthier drinking water.
