Possible Diabetes Link

One might conclude that tap water which causes one to hold one's nose while drinking because it smells so bad, might not be good for you.

This particular study that examines a possible link between arsenic in drinking water and type 2 diabetes is a new one on me.

At this point we own special 3 gallon containers designed to not leak (or is it leach) plastic, and we fill them with highly purified water at the health food store. The thought of drinking tap water at this point, is nauseating.

CNN: Study: Possible diabetes link to arsenic in wate

A new analysis of government data is the first to link low-level arsenic exposure, possibly from drinking water, with type 2 diabetes, researchers say.

Still, the analysis of 788 adults' medical tests found a nearly fourfold increase in the risk of diabetes in people with low arsenic concentrations in their urine compared with people with even lower levels.
