Water on Airplanes Highly Contaminated, Survey Shows
Next time you fly and get thirsty, rather than asking for ice water from an airplane's galley, opt for bottled water instead. Recent EPA testing found the drinking water of 1 in 8 airplanes to be contaminated with coliform bacteria. This type of bacteria typically lives in animal or human intestines, and its presence in water indicates contamination from waste. Of 158 planes tested, 12.6% did not pass the federal standards for drinking water. Of the twenty planes with coliform bacteria, two tested positive for E. coli bacteria.
How do you know if you've already been contaminated? While stool tests can reveal parasites and other organinisms, we recommend a hair test to see what heavy metals have been accumulating in your body. These toxic metals cause all manner of ills and can be safely eliminated.
