President’s Anti-Cancer Panel Recommends Whole Home Filtered Water

2010 - In its official annual report, the President’s Cancer Panel is recommending that people use home filtering devices to decrease exposure to cancer-causing agents.

“This reaffirms what independent testing shows,” said Peter J. Censky, executive director of the Water Quality Association. “Home water treatment is a proven final barrier against many harmful chemicals.”

The report is entitled “Reducing Environmental Cancer Risks: What We Can Do Now.” In it, the panel states, “Individuals and families have many opportunities to reduce or eliminate chemical exposures. For example, filtering home tap water or well water can decrease exposure to numerous known or suspected carcinogens or endocrine-disrupting chemicals.”

The President’s Cancer Panel is a three-person body that reports to the President of the United States on the development and execution of the National Cancer Program...at least two of the three panel members must be distinguished scientists or physicians.

In addition to cancer-causing agents, water quality experts are examining other emerging contaminants, such as those found in personal care products and pesticides. Many of these are endocrine disrupting chemicals which interfere with normal hormonal function.

Water filtration is critical for your health. It is not an option and it is not something you can trust to a snap-on faucet gimmick or plastic pitcher. The highest quality, medical-grade water filtration available is from Environmental Water Systems. Founded in 1987 and available in over 700 kitchen and bath showrooms in the United States, EWS is the pioneer in whole home water filtration and public education on water filtration. EWS units have repeatedly been selected as the exclusive, trusted water filtration for children’s hospitals, health care centers, private homes, and the US government.

EWS upholds the industry’s highest standards for water filtration product — all units (from sink to whole home) are handmade in the United States from USA-parts and contain medical-grade, biodegradable carbon filtration or full-bed depth carbon filtration.
