A new study reports a dramatic increase in cancer cases among people under the age of 50, which researchers attribute to diet and lifestyle choices. Simultaneously, residents of a New York City apartment complex were warned not to drink tap water after dangerous levels of arsenic were detected. The water had reportedly appeared cloudy and foul-smelling for a month prior to the warning.

A health warning from Louisiana links the use of Neti pots to "brain-eating amoebas" after two deaths were reported. The hosts analyze the story as a potential PR hit job on a cheap, natural remedy (saltwater sinus flushing) that competes with pharmaceutical products like Zycam. They note that the amoeba, *Naegleria fowleri*, is typically found in warm freshwater and that the victims reportedly used tap water instead of distilled water.

A report by the Environmental Working Group regarding Chromium 6 contamination in U.S. tap water is analyzed for its potential legal and commercial motives. The hosts suggest the "Erin Brockovich chemical" narrative may be used to facilitate class-action lawsuits or promote specific water filtration products.

### Bottled Water Industry, Consumerism and Tap Water

- **Episode:** [16: Start Using Canteens](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/16-start-using-canteens.md)
- **Published:** 2008-02-10
- **Time:** 30:14–34:19
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/16-start-using-canteens/chapter/bottled-water-industry-consumerism-and-tap-water.md

A listener from Illinois questions the logic of the multi-billion dollar bottled water industry, comparing it to the absurdity of buying water if soda came free from a tap. The hosts trace the trend back to the 1970s popularity of Perrier and the 1980s health movement that mandated high daily water intake. They advocate for drinking regulated tap water in restaurants to avoid excessive markups, which can reach eight to sixteen dollars per bottle.
