Prolific Hawai'ian Author exposes deadly poisons in our water supplies

Author Lono Kahuna Kupua A'o provides charts, tables and diagrams in solid easy to digest format. Don't take anoth- er sip of tap water without first reading this informative book. What's really all in your tap water? Flouride? Chlorine? Poisons? All the above? The current avail- ablity of good drinking water is in question. My recommendation - additional: get a berkey water purification system for a good back up and drink bottled spring, not just purified water. Bon Apetit!

Very Scary! Excellent Read! A Must for Every Nutritionist

I just got finished reading this book in between classes, and all I can say is WOW! Be aware, and beware of your tap water. If these statistics are correct, then the EPA and the U.S. government are not concerned with protecting your right to clean water, and therefore, you must educate yourself in order to protect against degenerative disease. [ 1991-1992 EPA records showed that the nations water systems committed over 250,000 violations of the Safe Drinking Water Act, affecting more than 100 million Americans - and 10% of those exceeded the MCL (Max Contaminant Level) of the EPA. ] This book is a great start finding out the truth of the matter. Toxins are everywhere! We all need to learn where they exist and remove them for our own and our childrens sake. Someday, a high ranking official on TV may review this book, or a similar subject and try and spin these numbers a certain way to make it not sound so bad, but don't be fooled. Statistics seldom lie. Only politicians do. Politicians can come from any field, not just government. Politicians come from industry, medicine, lobby, and big business etc. Be a detective, and look for anything that doesn't make sense. "The Truth is Obvious, Everything Else is Questionable"

Read this book! It contains vital information.

This book is certainly a very factual and "blunt" book about the seriousness of our domestic water quality. With the coming "Y2K" event on the horizon, I believe Lono A'o's comments are even more appropriate and noteworthy. I have given this book a 5 star and I am giving serious thought to making this book a required reading for all the students in my Environmental Studies class at New England College. That's how serious I believe the issue is.

Very thorough about current water filtration methods

If you ever plan on buying a water filter of any kind -- this is the book to read. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that I wish it would have given more specific information regarding name brand water filtration systems available and where to get testing information etc.
