Everyone has their own conditioning that causes us to live in fear. We experience the conditioning imposed by society, the conditioning we underwent as children, the conditioning that extends into adulthood.
But in order to live free of fear, we have to recognize how we have been conditioned and work to release it. The process starts with witnessing our reactions and tracing them back to the beliefs that have created this reaction.
Social Conditioning
First, we have been conditioned societally: our culture tells us we need to achieve a certain level and kind of success in order to feel worthy. It’s a message greatly reinforced by marketing and advertising. But what exactly constitutes success?
When we feel we can’t reach the destination we should, we live in fear. We become like the hamster on the exercise wheel, racing around and around without knowing where we’re headed. We look outside ourselves to affirm our self-worth by seeing how much “stuff” we have compared to others, but it's a house made of sand. Yet many have made money, power, control, or prestige and reputation their god.
Society has also conditioned us to immerse ourselves in a collective climate of fear — as has become so evident during the coronavirus crisis. Instead of just glancing at headlines to read only what’s necessary to be informed, we’re steeped in uncertainty and doubt.
Personal Conditioning
We have also been conditional personally: what our parents and other adult influencers believed and taught us in childhood is often to our detriment. Many of us learned that we were not lovable unless we acted a certain way or said a certain thing. We watched our parents be alcoholics or workaholics. Some of our conditioning was implicit, and some of it was overt — through emotional, physical, or sexual abuse. We were like little sponges, but what if we were soaking up polluted water?
And for many, that conditioning has extended into adulthood. It could be through abusive work or personal relationships. We believe what a boss or a partner says about us.
Becoming Self-Aware
To increase our self-awareness and identify our conditioning, we first need to take these steps:
Self-understanding: We need to understand the psychological mechanisms of projection and judgment. We use these as defenses against examining and healing our dysfunctional patterns and relationships. We often judge others because they have attributes we dislike in ourselves or wish we had ourselves.
Carl Jung, the father of analytical psychology, said “Projection is one of the commonest psychic phenomena. Everything that is unconscious in ourselves we discover in our neighbor and we treat him accordingly.” Judgment is a projection of self-judgment.
Monitoring our emotions: We must watch our emotional reactions, especially anger and blame. These point to underlying beliefs we hold. We are not usually angry for the reason we think. Fear is almost always behind our anger. It’s always initially present when we are bumping up against a belief we don’t want to face. Blame usually comes from a victim mentality, which is disempowering and fear-based.
Look at situations or people that make you feel uncomfortable. Maybe you feel uncomfortable around men with red beards because you don’t remember you were sexually abused by one as a child. The Universe loves and supports us. Through people and experiences, it is constantly providing hints of what we need to work on so we can have opportunities to heal and awaken to a greater reality of ourselves.
Honesty: Be honest about what you are attached to, and what you don’t want to give up. Watch how you use medicators as defenses against looking at certain unhealthy patterns or to stuff your feelings. These medicators could be food, excessive spending, stimulants, excessive internet or social media, porn, etc.
Ask yourself: What if what you are attached to was taken away tomorrow? For instance, what if you lost all of your money? Let yourself feel that fear, and start to explore all of the beliefs tied to that.
Releasing Ourselves
Once we have raised our own self-awareness, we can start to release ourselves from our conditioning. Here are two effective strategies:
From awareness to practice: Once we identify the belief behind our reaction, we have to be willing to follow what we are shown. The first gift is initial awareness — but then we will have numerous opportunities to practice this different way of thinking and seeing ourselves until it becomes automatic. Like training muscles to work in new ways, we have to reinforce this new pathway in our brains and body. Many resist what they are shown, and stay in dysfunctional patterns out of either an attachment to something or someone, out of fear, or even with the belief that change will literally be the death of them.
Compassion and trust: As we delve into self-inquiry, gratitude, trust, and compassion are key. We have to trust that there is something better on the other side. Then, ask a few simple questions: What is one main belief you recognize that is causing you to be in fear? Is this an outer belief that has an underlying one attached to it? How would you like to change this, and how can you accomplish this?
We need to trust the process, empowered by the knowledge that comes from self-inquiry, and be grateful that we are creating a better life for ourselves and our loved ones. Each person on this planet is being pushed to evolve and look at themselves during these times. So it’s important to have compassion for everyone — ourselves as well as others.
Finding Joy
As well as social and personal conditioning, it has been shown that epigenetically, we inherit the trauma that our ancestors experienced. So we have each been conditioned in many ways. But whatever ways they are, we can release them — and the fear that they bring.
As we become self-aware, we find our innate joy. It’s as if we have lived in a prison cell, and we now have the means to break free. As we discover our true calling and find out unique gifts, we also become a powerful carrier of change for the world. As others see the positive changes that have occurred in us, they will want the same for themselves.

One person on the West Coast posted a screenshot on the Starlink Reddit community of a speed test highlighting a download speed of 161 Mbps surpassing the email’s claims. They were one of many users to share their speed in recent days on the Reddit thread.
Another person on Reddit said that they were based in rural Montana and expressed that their download speed was faster at 174 Mbps and that their upload speed was 33 Mbps. “Starlink will forever change the game,” they said.
The majority of user tests compiled in a list on Reddit fell within that range, though some were from before the public beta test began.
In the email to users, SpaceX said it was trying to “lower your initial expectations” about the beta test. Space X strives to eventually transmit internet service around the world with its Starlink satellites.
In the email, the company further said users could expect “brief periods of no connectivity at all” — which some have seen issues during the trial. The West Coast user said that “interruptions are about ten to fifteen seconds, and seem to happen every few minutes.”

By Daisy Luther | The Organic Prepper
We’re living in a nation divided. You need only look at social media or the comments section of nearly any website to see the rage and animosity between people who hold opposing opinions. Violence has broken out in the streets of many of our cities and it’s all the media really wants to talk about.
Some people will call me naive, but I still believe in unity, the goodness of people, and the possibility of peace.
Even on the cusp of an election that many are saying is “the most important” of our lifetime, an election that many have vowed violence and destruction over the results, an election that has drawn battle lines right through our own neighborhoods, I believe that it doesn’t need to be this way.
I’m writing this piece before the election. I have no idea how it’s going to turn out. This is my opinion regardless of which candidate is declared the winner and it is not based on politics. It’s based on my belief that Americans can still unite if we choose to do so.
People are giving politicians control over their relationships.
What I don’t understand is how people can allow politicians – people who are in it for power, not for you and me – to divide them from the people they once loved. How can you look at your son, daughter, parent, cousin, or friend and say, “You voted for X and therefore I no longer love you?” How can you put this politician and what he or she stands for ahead of your own people?
Do you think those politicians care about you enough to divide their own families? To disinvite someone to Christmas dinner? To “unfriend” somebody on social media and in real life? Of course not. All they want is your vote. They want your verbal support. They don’t give a tinker’s damn whether or not your family is destroyed because of them and their causes.
And yet, I see it all the time. I saw a woman proudly declaring she got her dying father to go vote against a candidate as if that was the most important way to spend her last few days with a loved one. It made me sick. When my father was dying, all I wanted was to hear his voice, hold his hand, listen to his stories, and tell him my own. He told me a dozen times on his last day, “You know I love you, right?”And I replied, “Yes, I know because you showed me every single day. I love you too.” Politics was the last thing on my mind. It would be the last thing on any rational human being’s mind at a time like that.
This is not a unique case, either. Families are fractured forever for people who don’t even know who they are, and people feel good about it.
There are still people who have their humanity.
There are still plenty of Americans who are in full possession of their humanity. They’ll feed a hungry person without asking where that person stands on Joe Biden. They’ll help a lost child at Walmart get reunited with her mother without wondering whether Mom is a Trump voter. They’ll help a person in a wheelchair get something off a high shelf at the store, and they’ll check on their elderly neighbor, all with no questions asked.
The United States of America is full of people like this. But they don’t make the headlines.
Nobody cares about small acts of service and kindness. They only want to see Molotov cocktails thrown through the windows of rich peoples’ homes or brutal crackdowns on rioters. That’s the hunger our media is feeding. That’s what people believe the real USA is all about right now. My friends outside the US are under the impression that the entire country is burning and we’re living through a 3-D movie-level apocalypse.
But it’s not like that everywhere. My 20-year-old daughter lives in an apartment building where her best friend is a 61-year-old lady. They have coffee together every day. They take walks weather and safety permitting. They don’t discuss politics – they discuss plants and the little patio gardens both of them are growing. They discuss their day and their family and the little odds and ends of life.
I’m friends with a group of women in which we have many widely different beliefs, both religious and political. We are a tight-knit group and we can discuss anything – including politics and religion – without hard feelings and then get right back to a conversation on home security or food preservation. That’s because we put our humanity and our similarities first, not some politicians that – I repeat – do not care about us personally.
This isn’t some utopian fantasy.
The UNITED States of America isn’t a silly utopian fantasy. It’s absolutely possible.
Before the advent of social media and an incredibly biased press, nobody used to throw the Thanksgiving turkey in the trash when they discovered they were hosting a table full of *insert other political parties here* because that wasn’t made the center of our universe. Our children didn’t come home ready to snitch on us for having guns because they were indoctrinated at school that guns were bad, Marxism was good, and anyone who thought differently deserved at best scorn, and at worst legal punishment.
Dial things back 30 years or so and the country was not like this.
Sure, there have always been idealists and some of them have been violent in the past. I don’t think idealism is necessarily a bad thing. In fact, I think it’s a beautiful part of being young. I remember when I was 21 years old and wanted to change the world and make it better. Heck, I still want to change the world and make it better and I’m 51.
But the level to which this beautiful idealism has been perverted and used to further a dark agenda is itself criminal. The reason we have so many young people prepared to wreak violence and destruction in the name of their ideals is that they’ve been deeply manipulated. They’ve been manipulated by the school curriculum, by the teachers, by the professors at universities, by the media, and by social media – all of these purport things to be just and true with only a portion of the real story given. They play on empathy and forsake logic in order to activate young visionaries and to radicalize them. That’s right – these kids from good families who are out there behaving violently have been radicalized just as certainly as any child raised to be a Jihadist.
We have to take our kids back. We have to take our media back. We have to take our neighborhoods back. I’m not proposing a violent revolution here. I’m talking about lemonade on the front steps, family dinners where real discussions take place, and educating our kids ourselves if the system cannot be trusted to do so without distorting their perspectives.
The solution lies with us.
I know I’m just an idealistic, middle-aged hippie chick, and that doesn’t always mesh with some of the most vocal parts of the prepper crowd. I know that I don’t have a tactical background or a bad-ass gun collection. I’m unlikely to lead anybody into battle.
But I have some strong beliefs about a different type of revolution. We can revolt against the media and the politicians and the string pullers by uniting.
Fixing this mess that our country is in starts small. It starts with families, neighbors, and communities. What YOU do matter. How YOU respond to the results of the election matters. How YOU react to those with whom you disagree matters.
Please understand that I’m not suggesting we don’t defend ourselves or that we allow others to ride roughshod over our safety and property rights. Not at all. We are all born with those inherent rights and I, like you, will do whatever I must to defend my loved ones.
But perhaps, regardless of who wins and who loses this election, we could try to do better than we did the last time around. We could try not to gloat if our “side” wins. We could try not to become enraged if our “side” loses. We could try to just treat our neighbors like our neighbors and get on with our lives. We could err on the side of kindness whenever it’s safe to do so. Remember that what you see on the news in the following days is not the entire country, but a few places that make for sensational coverage and high ratings.
Whoever is named the next president of the United States will play political games that are far above our pay grades. There are things you can control and things you cannot. If you’ve gone out and cast your vote, or if you’ve withheld your vote because you don’t stand behind either of the candidates, then you’ve done what you feel is right for the big circle. The rest of it is out of our hands.
Turn off the “news” and connect with the people around you. Look at your similarities, not your differences. Steer the conversation there when it goes astray and into controversial topics. Cement your friendships.
I hope that we can collectively take a deep breath and focus on our small circles. Because as things get worse in our country in terms of the economy, supply chain issues, and the unrest that is almost certain to occur, all we can do is focus our positive efforts on those closest to us.
This essay about how we can do better this election probably won’t be as widely spread as if I’d written something gloomy and terrifying, but I believe that all of our quiet voices calling for peace are important. Maybe share it with your friends if you, like me, want to see peace.
Let’s talk about common ground and our similarities. Not about politicians. How can we help keep Election Day peaceful in our necks of the woods?
I wish you all safety, kindness, and peace.

Your resume is like your portfolio as it shows your potential employer every aspect of your professional life. Therefore, you must only include up to date and relevant information about your past and current work experiences. To improve the quality of your resume to land your next life-changing opportunity, here are the top five ways to make your resume stand out from other applicants. Keep in mind that there are companies like Resume Writing Services and Cultivated Culture that you can consider taking advantage of to end up with a stellar resume, just be sure to go through resume review sites to ensure you are making the right choice.
1. Include relevant information pertaining to the position.
Once you land on an ad for a specific position, you’ll want to pay close attention to what is being said. This is mainly because these ads can contain some hidden meanings that can help you determine what to include in your resume. Once you’re able to decipher what is being said, you’ll have a greater advantage in landing your next big gig.
For instance, if a job ad clearly states that they’re looking for someone with “technical skills,” this means that they want someone who is tech-savvy. As a result, you would want to display any skills that you’ve obtained related to the field. Whether that be your experience with technological applications or any certifications in certain software, they’ll want to know. Once they see your list of accomplishments, then you’ll be one of the first people they contact to move forward in the application process.
2. Link other portfolio websites to your resume (LinkedIn, Weebly, etc.).
If there’s one thing that hiring managers enjoy, it’s special attributes on a resume that’ll make you stand out. Not only is it easier to prove your credibility and skillset, but it’s also intriguing to see what your personality is like outside of the professional setting. This can ultimately determine whether they’ll hire you or not.
In fact, according to a study conducted by professional resume writers, people who include their LinkedIn accounts in their resumes were 71% more likely to get a call back from employers than others who didn’t. To be more specific, people who had a more detailed LinkedIn account received more callbacks than people with no account or a bland account. Setting yourself apart from the competition should be your main priority and including a detailed portfolio site like LinkedIn will achieve that goal.
3. Use relevant words throughout your resume.
Another important tactic to use within your resume is to include keywords throughout the whole document. These words will stick out to any employer reading your resume and cause them to see that you were paying attention to the application details.
Hints to discovering what these keywords could be lie within the ad and the field you’re applying for. Not all career fields utilize the same language and including the right language within your resume gives you a clear chance to advance to the next level.
A clear example of using keywords could be for the business field. If you’re applying for a position, like a bookkeeper, you’ll want to include some business language within your resume. Examples of keywords that would be included are “generated” and “reconciled.” Even if you’ve only had a simple job, like a cashier, you can find some way to incorporate that business language into the description for your past and current jobs.
4. Include a summary of your qualifications at the beginning.
When hiring managers begin to look at your resumes, they always start at the very top and work their way down. The moment they see something that’s irrelevant to the job at hand, they will toss your resume in the trash. This is where the summary of qualifications portion comes in to save both you and the hiring manager valuable time.
This section’s main purpose is to provide the hiring manager with a summary of what your resume will be about. It’s a short and simple synopsis of your main characteristics and your future goals for your career. This section is the perfect opportunity for you to display any plans you have to grow and thrive within a specific field or company depending on what you’re applying for.
5. Structure your resume based on what experience you have.
There are two simple ways to structure your resume. One way is to list all your work experience and what your duties were for each position. This structure is more ideal for those who have gained more work-related experience as opposed to school experience. It’s also one of the more frequently used structures for hopeful professionals.
Another way is to list all your school experience and any activities you partook in during your time there. This structure is more suitable for people who don’t have as much work experience under their belt. These people are involved in various clubs and organizations around their school. They have also participated in outside activities as well, such as volunteering and self-development tasks.

Every 26 seconds for the last 60 years seismologists have detected a ubiquitous pulse emanating from deep inside the Earth. The debate over the cause of this mysterious “microseism” has gone on for decades and produced several cogent hypotheses, but scientists still don’t know decisively what’s behind the phenomenon.
First observed and recorded by geologist Jack Oliver in the early 1960s, then studied more extensively in the following decades, the pulse is known to be stronger during storms. But storms don’t turn off and on every 26 seconds, nor do volcanos, which have also been proposed as the source.
In 2005, a graduate student named Greg Bensen tracked the origin of the pulse to a more narrow location, a single source in the Gulf of Guinea, off the western coast of Africa; six years later, another team honed in even closer, pinpointing the origin in an area of the Gulf of Guinea called the Bight of Bonny.
This team believed the waves crashing on that coast were responsible for the seismic blip. Others, however, weren’t convinced. Some believed it was caused by the sun itself. While tectonic activity, earthquakes, and volcanos regularly trigger solid seismic sounds, a more mellow soundscape of seismic static runs in near perpetuity.
Mike Ritzwoller, a seismologist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, who has studied the pulse for decades, says that while the pulse is a mystery, seismic activity, in general, is not.
Seismic noise basically exists because of the sun,” whose energy hits the equator and the poles unevenly, creating wind, storms, ocean currents, and waves, all of which work to displace and buffet energy onto the coastline.
“It’s like if you were tapping on your desk. It deforms the area near your knuckle, but then it’s being transmitted across the whole table,” Ritzwoller explains. “So someone sitting at the other side of the table, if they put their hand, or maybe their cheek, on the table, they can feel the vibration.”
With the advent of more advanced tools and technologies, scientists have been able to study the pulse more closely, and most generally agree that the Bight of Bonny is ground zero for whatever is happening. Currently, many researchers are beginning to think the cause may be that this specific place on the edge of the enormous North American continental shelf (far below the ocean floor) is basically the other end of the desk Ritzwoller used as a metaphor. In other words, a drum the size of a continent is somehow consolidating its reverberations into a single spot.
Some researchers still believe volcanism is the answer and point to an active volcano on the island of São Tomé in the Bight of Bonny as evidence.
Why any of these physical phenomena would produce such a strange clockwork pulse every 26 seconds remains a mystery.
“We’re still waiting for the fundamental explanation of the cause of this phenomenon,” Ritzwoller says with a beat of optimism about the next decades of seismology. “I think the point [of all this] is there are very interesting, fundamental phenomena in the earth that are known to exist out there and remain secret.”

CBD oil is extracted from the cannabis plant as CBD and mixed with natural oils such as coconut oil. Today, CBD oil is quickly gaining precedence in the health and wellness industry in reducing inflammation and treating both anxiety and depression.
Perhaps most noteworthy, CBD has been particularly effective in helping cancer patients as well as alleviating neuropathic pain; one of the most difficult pains to treat.
Great right? Well, arguable in truth. The greatest controversy surrounding CBD oils is their high prices. Click here let’s take a deeper look.
The Cost of CBD Oil for Pain Relief
Over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers like naproxen, acetaminophen, aspirin, and ibuprofen cost between $5 to $10 for 100 pills. The price of generic OTC drugs is even lower, going as low as $2.
Many users, therefore, complain that they are too expensive, while others believe that they are worth every dollar. A mere 30ml (1 ounce) bottle of CBD oil could cost anywhere from $30 to over $200.

Since CBD is extracted from the hemp plant, the price of CBD oils is determined by the origin of the plant and its availability. It is a rare commodity in some countries thus increasing the price of the end product. The largest CBD companies source their raw material from large domestic hemp farms making their prices a bit friendlier.
2. Natural or Synthetic?
Some hemp plants are natural while others are synthetic. Since the synthetic plant is more expensive to grow, CBD oil extracted from it tends to be pricey. That said, depending on the type of hemp plant used, the price of the end product varies.
3. Amount of Third-Party Testing Costs
Before CBD oils are released into the market, they have to undergo thorough testing by a third party to certify that they are safe to use. This is a requirement for all products extracted from the hemp plant. As a result, third-party testing imposes extra costs on CBD oil.
4. Premium Ingredients Included in the Manufacturing Process
CBD oil products contain additional ingredients such as organic coconut oil and natural flavors. This natural approach to treatment renders them a much healthier option, making them more costly.
CBD Oils as the Ultimate Choice
People have sought all kinds of pain relief mechanisms to end their discomfort. To that venture, CBD oil has emerged as a natural and effective method of relieving pain.
The quality of CBD oils and their efficacy in pain relief surpasses just about all alternatives in the market. Better yet, apart from physical pain relief, they can be used to reduce acne, anxiety, and depression. As such, these oils are worth every penny.

“If the world is ending and the Messiah arrives, first plant a tree, and then see if the story is true.” –Rabbinical Teaching
Pachakuti is an ancestral Inka wisdom precept that speaks to life's inherent cyclical nature involving periods of creation, preservation, and the destruction of a species or environmental habitat. Meaning ‘world reversal' or ‘cosmic transformation,' a Pachakuti is the ritual transmogrification of chaos into order and breakdown into a breakthrough. From the perspective of Andean shamanic traditions, the whole-systems crisis experienced on earth offers people from all walks of life a unique evolutionary opportunity to midwife a new way of being human that transcends the polarizing ideological origins behind our current Great Turning.
Evolution is punctuated by sudden appearances of novel and unforeseeable forms of life. We can therefore expect the same from both the soul maturation and psycho-spiritual evolution of humankind. Eschatology is probabilistic; catastrophe is conditional. The Ultimate Message: It's up to us to Show Up, to Be Fully Present, to Speak Our Truth unencumbered by fear, doubt, or insecurity, to give empathic flight to our hearts and free our minds from the perilously objectified constraints of scientific materialism and religious fundamentalism.
The Time is Now, and Now is the Time. We are in the midst of the ‘Perfect Storm' for allowing our soul awakened imagination of what is possible when united to freely soar upon the wings of condor and eagle, empowered by our shared experience of reverence for All Our Relations as Pachamama's children. Our partnership with the sacred spiral imprint of evolution is vital to gracefully align in consciousness with life's wonderfully unpredictable nature, with the intrinsic regenerative power of transformation, flow, change, discovery, and growth. With playful, childlike wonderment and awe, curiosity, inventiveness, and dreaming, we are being called to sing and dance our seven generation service vision as a Labor of Love into the world.
In essence, our human re-Membering, as a life-affirming presence on the planet, requires a radical surrender of all craving for approval and control. Only then shall we be able to selflessly harness Creation's wisdom beauty to serve as our healing light on the earth…remember this, experience it, be it!

In many cases, when you choose bottled water, you’re paying a premium and being exposed to toxic chemicals, including heavy metals and fluorinated chemicals known as polyfluoroalkyl or perfluoroalkyl chemicals (PFAS), which include PFOA and PFOS, in exchange.
If health is what you’re after, choose to filter your own water at home and bring it with you in a reusable, nonplastic portable container. It’s a superior and more cost-effective choice — for your health and the environment.
Toxic Chemicals Still Found in Bottled Water
The purity of bottled water has been in question since at least 2009 when the Environmental Working Group (EWG) released a Bottled Water Scorecard showing that most bottled water brands failed to disclose contaminants in their water.
A follow-up survey in 2011 similarly revealed that 18% of bottled waters did not disclose where the water came from while 32% did not disclose information about the treatment or purity of the water.3
As far back as 2008, meanwhile, EWG revealed that 10 popular bottled water brands contained 38 pollutants, ranging from over-the-counter medications to industrial chemicals — some at levels similar to those found in tap water.4 Since then, the situation hasn’t improved, and if you’re purchasing bottled water believing it to be pure, there’s a good chance you’re being misled.
In 2020, Consumer Reports tested 47 bottled water brands, including both noncarbonated and carbonated varieties, for heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury) and 30 PFAS chemicals.5
Among noncarbonated water, heavy metal levels came in under federal safety limits in all but one case. Whole Foods’ Starkey Spring Water contained arsenic levels of 9.53 parts per billion (ppb); the federal limit is 10 ppb, while Consumer Reports recommends 3 ppb or lower.
PFAS was found at detectable levels in most of the noncarbonated waters tested, and two brands — Tourmaline Spring and Deer Park — had levels higher than 1 part per trillion. Among the carbonated water brands tested, all were below legal limits for heavy metals, but PFAS was another story.
All but one brand had detectable levels of PFAS, and seven brands had PFAS levels over 1 ppt. Topo Chico, a trendy brand of sparkling mineral water, had the highest PFAS levels, coming in at 9.76 ppt. In a response to Consumer Reports, the company said it would “continue to make improvements to prepare for more stringent standards in the future.”6
PFAS Limits in Bottled Water Are Voluntary
While it’s unknown why PFAS levels may be particularly elevated in bottled carbonated water, it’s possible that the carbonation process plays a role, or the source water is contaminated, or treatment isn’t removing the toxic chemicals effectively.7
However, as it stands, the U.S. government hasn’t set enforceable limits on PFAS in drinking water, making any attempts at removal voluntary. According to Consumer Reports:8
“The federal government has issued only voluntary guidance for PFAS, saying the combined amounts for two specific PFAS compounds should be below 70 parts per trillion. A few states have set lower limits, of 12 to 20 ppt, according to American Water Works, an industry group.
The International Bottled Water Association, another group, says that it supports federal limits for PFAS and that bottled water should have PFAS levels below 5 ppt for any single compound and 10 ppt for more than one. Some experts say the cutoff for total PFAS levels should be even lower, 1 ppt.”
PFASs were once known as fluorocarbons. While the acronyms can get a bit confusing, the important thing to remember is that this family of chemicals (PTFE, PFAS, PFOA, PFOS, and PFCs) is toxic to your health.
Although most companies have stopped making PFOA and PFOS as their serious environmental and health risks have been uncovered, the chemicals are extremely persistent in the environment, which is why they’re often referred to as “forever” chemicals.
They do not break down in water or soil and can be carried over great distances by wind or rain, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.9
Data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests PFASs are in the blood of more than 98% of Americans,10 and PFOA is already the subject of at least 3,500 personal injury claims against DuPont. One woman who developed kidney cancer after drinking PFOA-contaminated water was awarded $1.6 million in damages.11
Further, in May 2015 more than 200 scientists from 40 countries signed the Madrid Statement, which warns about the harms PFAS chemicals and documents the following potential health effects of exposure:12
Liver toxicity Disruption of lipid metabolism, and the immune and endocrine systems Adverse neurobehavioral effects Neonatal toxicity and death Tumors in multiple organ systems Testicular and kidney cancers Liver malfunction Hypothyroidism High cholesterol Ulcerative colitis Reduced birth weight and size Obesity Decreased immune response to vaccines Reduced hormone levels and delayed puberty
It’s not only bottled water that’s problematic when it comes to PFAS: According to a 2016 Harvard study, 16.5 million Americans have detectable levels of at least one kind of PFAS in their drinking water, and about 6 million Americans are drinking water that contains PFAS at or above the EPA safety level.13
Microplastics Common in Bottled Water
Drinking bottled water may also expose you to microplastic particles, which have infiltrated waterways across the globe.
“Plastics become microplastics become nano plastics, but they are all plastics, just of increasingly smaller size, allowing them to be more easily ingested and perhaps even cross the gastrointestinal tract to be transported throughout a living organism,” researchers wrote in Frontiers in Chemistry,14 referring to the increasingly smaller size that plastics break down to in the environment.
In 2018, researchers with the department of chemistry at the State University of New York at Fredonia purchased 11 bottled water brands from 19 locations in nine different countries. They tested 259 bottles of water, finding microplastic contamination in 93% of them.
“An average of 10.4 microplastic particles >100 um in size per liter of bottled water processed were found,” they noted, although in some cases over 10,000 microplastic particles per liter were detected.15 Microfibers, one type of microplastic, have previously been found to be the predominant type of microplastic found in beer, tap water, and sea salt samples.
“Based on consumer guidelines, our results indicate the average person ingests over 5,800 particles of synthetic debris from these three sources annually, with the largest contribution coming from tap water (88 percent),” according to researchers in PLOS One.16 Considering that bottled water maybe, in some cases, bottled tap water, this is a significant concern.
It’s unknown what health risks are posed by consuming these tiny plastic particles, but it’s known that microplastics may act like sponges for contaminants including heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), or pathogens, or could cause harm on a cellular or subcellular level.17
Further, Frederick vom Saal, a distinguished professor emeritus of biological sciences at the University of Missouri, told Time:18
“In animal models and in epidemiological studies in humans, we have a correlation between plastic exposures and known health hazards … They’re implicated in the obesity epidemic and in other metabolic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease, as well as cancer and reproductive problems and neural problems like attention deficit disorder.
If you look at the trendlines of non-communicable diseases around the world, you see there is a correlation between exposure to these [plastic] pollutants.”
Hot Temperatures May Make Bottled Water Even Worse
If your bottled water spent time sitting in a hot car or storage facility, the transfer of chemical contaminants from the plastic to the water could be accelerated, increasing health risks.
For instance, antimony, a toxic chemical used to manufacture polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastics used for water bottles, is known to leach into the water, and a study found that storing the bottles at higher temperatures increased the amount of leaching.19
Specifically, after sitting in 150 degrees F temperatures for 38 days, bottled water had antimony at levels above federal safety recommendations.20 “Summertime temperatures inside of cars, garages, and enclosed storage areas can exceed 65 °C (149 degrees F) in Arizona, and thus could promote antimony leaching from PET bottled waters,” the researchers noted.21
Julia Taylor, a scientist who researched plastic at the University of Missouri, further told National Geographic, “As a general rule, yes, heat helps break down chemical bonds in plastics like plastic bottles, and those chemicals can migrate into beverages they contain.”22 One solution is to choose water sold only in glass bottles, but there’s a better solution for clean drinking water.
Filter Your Own Water and Make Carbonated Water at Home
Most commercial bottled water can’t be trusted in terms of contaminants in the water itself and due to the plastic packaging, it comes in. The existence of chemicals like PFASs, which have no taste or smell, and others in drinking water is the reason I recommend virtually everyone filters their water with a high-quality carbon filtration system.
Unless you can verify the purity of your water, to be certain you're getting the purest water you can, filter the water both at the point of entry and at the point of use. Then, simply take the filtered water with you in a reusable glass or metal bottle.
You can even use your own filtered tap water to make carbonated water at home, using options like SodaStream. This is a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution that will protect your health in the process.
