Don't Drink The Water!

That's what they used to tell visitors to primitive countries-but now it's needed advice in much of the United States. Increasing population and industrial growth endanger private wells and public water systems in spite of a decade and more of publicity and regulation. Yet we need water-pure water-to live. How do we get it?

In this book, now revised and completely updated with the latest statistics on pollution and new information on fluoridation, Dr. Banik and famed health reporter Carlson Wade set out the scope of the pollution crisis, explain the physiology of water and the criteria for healthful water, and suggest ways to assure ourselves of a supply of drinking water that will support, not undermine, our health.

Remember-up to two-thirds of your body weight is water-so you indeed are what you drink!
