The Hidden Dangers in Tap Water and the Best Solutions
If you’re concerned about tap water, The Hidden Dangers in Tap Water and the Best Solutions is an informative read that will have you questioning your next sip of water. Extensively researched, Dr. Ling’s book will introduce you to the most common toxins found in tap water and explain the health implications of drinking tap water. The book is written in layman’s terms so that you can easily understand the risks that pour out of your tap and into your glass. In addition to outlining the hidden dangers in tap water, Ling provides you with solutions to these problems.
Lynn's [Tiong H. Ling] extensively researched text on the topic of drinking water problems will supply you with an eye-opening experience. He spells out in layman's terms the toxins commonly found in tap water today and the health risks they pose. This book provides an excellent "crash course" for those of us who are concerned with drinking water quality but have little time to dedicate to researching the subject.
