The people negatively responding to my post who also cannot distinguish between general and specific is not a coincidence for they are idiots. Read my OP. Did you see a single word about water? No, because it is a general statement that anyone who isn't interested in facts, figures, and statistics (especially the first one) is not a reliable source of information. Case closed. Move along.
maybe I'm missing something but your the only one here giving negative comments, fitting everyone into boxes, insulting and giving mind numbing, closed minded responses. degree or no degree whether you have a phd or didn't make it past 1st class..to me that is intelligence at its lowest and in that you have succeeded my man.
Water tip! Most you-brew places, especially wine places, usually have a reverse osmosis water filteration system. The one I go to its only $3 to fill those big water cooler jugs. Normally u pay $10+ for a jug of spring water/distilled water at the grocery store. Go find a local you-brew place and start fillin up your stuff there.
“Empty your mind! Be formless, shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. Put it into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put into a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow, or it can crash: Be water, my friend!” Bruce Lee :D
Tap water is safe, bottled water is pretty much tap water filtered through a carbon filter. Safe the $ and just get a Brita filter and filter your tap water. Trust me, I'm a civil engineer, infrastructure is my shit.
"Tap water is safe" a) no it's not b) fluoride is not removed by a Brita filter. c) can you please tell me as a 'civil engineer' what effects sodium fluoride has on the body? Particularly the glands.
Hang The Bankers I can't comment on biochemistry, that is not my shit. However, I am familiar with drinking water laws and regulations. If you refuse to drink tap water because of perceived pollutants I hope you breath from a tank of compressed oxygen because what can be dumped into the atmosphere is FAR FAR worse than what can legally be put in drinking water supplies.
It's true. I started eating clean recently and I find that when I eat fast food I can taste that it's junk. I feel bleh and I have no desire to eat it really anymore.
If you think you can tell the difference in taste between bottled water and tap water you're very likely wrong, it's in your head. In blind taste tests people almost always fail to tell the difference between tap water and bottled water. If you've convinced yourself otherwise and you're happy, that's great, you just need to accept you're letting your outward biases and perceptions get in the way of the truth.
i`m from austria and our tapwater is amazing! great quality water from the alps. and i´ve been in texas in 2012. i tried drinking tap water, my throat started burning and it was like acid to me. simply horrible! i am very thankful for the fact that my country has probably the cleanest tap water on earth!
> I live in Sweden and perfect fresh tap water costs like 20 cents per Liter. No, it doesn't. You buy water by the cubic meter, and you don't pay $200 per cubic meter. How do I know? Well, the average Swede uses about 45 cubic meters of water every year. That'd be $9,000 a year per person, or about the same as a 50 m^2 apartment in a suburb of Stockholm. You pay just under $2 for a cubic meter of tap water in Sweden. That's about 100 times cheaper than your claim. If you think you pay $0.20/litre of water, either your pipes are broken OR somebody is ripping you off big time.
We are first world BECAUSE we care about EVERYTHING! We strive for utopia. We mess up along the way but that is our goal. So yes, first world problem.. but if we did not strive for these things then we would not be first world.
a lot of people in the "first world" are less healthy than people in more basic conditions. Plastics leaching into water is just one of the many ways we get bullshit causing problems with our health
***** Unwanted chemical additives in water are just as shitty as unwanted additives in our food. Certain plastics mimic hormones in our bodies, and that's not a good thing. Some plastics have already been banned for use in certain products exactly because of that. We're still learning about exactly how our health is being affected by all the weird stuff that we've invented in the last couple hundred years. If you already eat well and do exercise, then plastics leaching into your water (and as Elliot says, you can really taste that it's doing so) is a valid health concern.
Something like 70 or 80 % of our body is water. So wouldnt it make some fucking sense to give your body good water if 70-80% of your fucking body is wateR? THINK BRO
Why are so many people hating on someone who does post heaps of educational informative videos... at least he's doing something good his time rather than beating down on people while sitting on their fat ass.
I'm not the cliche type person and I don't say things just to say it. I am a leader, by nature and I question almost everything everyone tells me. But, when you speak , I listen. Your are sincere with your words. I, happily, await each video of yours as it loads. I am so glad that I found you. I don't even know how I ended up on your page but I am soooo happy that I did. I am taking everything you say incorporating it into my life to be the strongest version of myself. No, I'm not weight lifting but I plan on losing weight by taking this and that and building a better me. Your are a, fantastic, motivational speaker, too.
I see u didn't watch this video OR listen to the message. So why comment stupidity? Hell read the comments. Or know your body like Elliot says in this video. Wake up my dude.
Tap "water" which is really a drink, like a soda. It is a product crated by a company and designed to have the tastes, colors, smells, and textures that please the customers. True water is just water, it is not a engineered corporate product like a soda. What's coming out of your tap is a drink, not water.
No joke. Check out the water quality summery that your water company puts out. In it is all of the many things they put into the water, and some companies explain why each chemical is in there. Basically to create an appealing product that consumers consume and are willing to pay for.
I'm not sure how clean our swedish water is by international comparison but I know a fun fact about coca colas Bonaqua. It's tapwater. The more you know guys. Don't support that shit.
Afro Samurai Aquafina and Dasani waters are bottled tap water however there are bottled water companies that collect fresh spring water with 0 ppm of flouride.
Borat Sagdiyev The fluoride in the tap water is not that big of a deal. Contrary to the assertions of conspiracy theorists, the amount of fluoride in the tap water is too low to cause any mental deficiencies. I have my own problems with the fluoride in the tap water though, mostly moral problems.
I didn’t know how much truth this held back in the day. I come and rewatch it now after experiencing it myself through food. I started to eat very cleanly so I can lose weight and become healthier; lots of vegetables, healthy fats, no processed food. After a while and some results, I said fuck it and ate McDonald’s; and let me tell you! Within 20 minutes of finishing my meal, I was grabbing the Gravol becauseI felt sick to my stomach and wanted to throw up. Never again, or rarely will I eat fast food again; I don’t wanna feel like that. I hear some people say something along the lines of “you’re never too good for McDonald’s! So stop fussing and grab a burger”, I used to be like that, but now I wanna grab those people and tell them “Its not about being too good or better than someone who eats it, I don’t wanna feel shitty again”. That experience was very eye opening.
Dude speaks the real. All those studies have an agenda attached to it. I could find you a study on virtually any subject to support or combat it in one way or another. Sometimes you need to work with your own empirical evidence and that's how your body reacts to things.
Elliot The King ! Investing in yourself instead of materialistic things around us, has became very rare. People would rather have a better car and eat or drink shit, not sleeping enough, why? Working late, getting that paper. It's just sad but atleast there are people like you, to kinda "aggressivelly" tell the audience to basically wake up and your wisdom is felt in every video. Not just muscle........brains and most importaintly SPIRITUALLY DEVELOPED PERSON too. RESPECT!!
much respect and blessings Eliot, you give truth to the people and there's nothing i disagree with you about this, ur message is the best to the masses of youth under western civilization, you will live a long life brother, don't worry about nothing, Peace
Great Video. Same applies to lifting. Everyone wants to know what's the best workout split. Science says this Broscience says that. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY!!! if you can lift full body 3 times a week and recover and continue to get stronger than do it! if you lift one muscle a week and it takes you 7 days to recover each body part and it gets you stronger than DO IT!! Stop looking for answers for things from other people, Start listening to your body and what it needs to grow and be healthy.
hmmm Elliot man I'm sorry to say this cuz I think most of your videos are pretty smart and your approach to training is great in my opinion but you're wrong on this one. No there isn't a 6th sense to know when you're being "poisoned" or stuff. The nocebo effect is a real thing that can cause various psychosomatic effects that you will actually feel in your body and may even truely disturb your health... but that isn't a matter of actually sensing that something's wrong. Many times people say they feel stuff like that and there just isn't anything going on. Truth is that tap water actually is way safer and better for your health than the water that most humans have been drinking in past history. Can it have downsides? maybe but nothing such that it has kept life expectancy to rise and reach unprecedented levels in world's history. All these internet claims and conspiracies about what's in the tap water are garbage. There's only one reason why people get sick from drinking tap water is when for any reason some uncleaned water ends up in the pipes and people end up drinking water that did not go through the cleaning process. When that happens, very often, old or weaker people die from it... that's the reality that we'd have to deal with if we didn't use the products that we use to clean our water. All in all, naturally clean water is a scarce thing...
thats part of the placebo effect. you think its poisoning you so you go in with that preconceived notion that its bad. then everything bad or any ill feeling you chalk up to the water or you manifest your own false ailments. its also reminiscent of a conformation bias. bottled water is way overpriced and a waste of money. also its not actually held to a super high standard, for example here in toronto the tap water is actually held to a higher standard of purity than bottled water.
Cheeba McNudelz well unless you're having an allergic reaction there's no telling. It's just you thinking you're being poisoned. And it's just one out of many placebo/nocebo effect encountered by those who try to skip on science. I can go to the nearest "natural" products store and find countless people who for a reason or another feel like having a salt lamp around will help remove stress or that their electronic electricity counter is giving them migraines. There's an astonishing amount of people who have blurry symptoms for virtually an infinity of factors who actually have 0 influence on their body. It's just them causing it. And as I said. To say that tap water is poisonous is a stretch. Tap water is in itself responsible for a huge part of human's life expectancy and there is very few places in the world, even if they were completely unspoiled by men, that you could drink water from that you wouldn't make you sick at some point. To pretend that your body is able to feel that tap water is poisonous would basically mean that your body feels stuff that it wasn't even intended to do by nature and bringing you to lift your nose on something that is far better for it than what you should be expecting to find in nature.
bill bob well here in America people want to keep there jobs at the water treatment plant so........they lie about the levels of chemicals they put in our drinking water and people in my area start getting really sick. ALL FACTS NO PLACEBO. I'm in Iowa by the way the heart land where all the world's food is grown and raised well the process to grow grain and raise cattle pollutes the earth more then automobiles ALL FACTS. So what do they do move some people around the u.s.a to work at other treatment plants to do the same thing they were doing here......again ALL FACTS. So don't tell me or other people that tap water, that I can start on fire is safer then r-o also oh I've been to Toronto you can have drake back we kept the great one.
I stopped eating all fast food about 7 years ago, well midway in between at about the 3.5 year mark without eating fast food, I was driving and out pretty lake and hungry, I went to McD's, got nuggets. I ate about 10 out of 20 and withing 5 minutes I was coughing up phlegm, and my sinuses were congested. Literally made me sick. I refuse to eat or drink any garbage now.
endwatcher That's why I always try to eat fast food on a regular basis. When you avoid it for too long, you can't tolerate it anymore. I'd rather have many options available to me than only a few because I avoided too many things.
yo elliott you inspire me by speaking my language and I really respect where your values are in your life. Youre a solid role model and your children must be lucky to have a father like you.
This guy is a genius, on a real level. The knowledge seems so simple but it's serious and people have become out of touch with this, his passion and knowledge really make these videos fun to watch. Only you know you, Thanks Elliott.
That's what I was thinking. But I think he meant "sweet" as in "revitalising" or "fresh", and not that it tastes like sugar. He might have meant "sweet relative to water that has been sitting in a plastic bottle".
CRW5252 Do you know what osmosis is? An RO filter forces this process to happen in reverse. It takes a lot of impurities out of water that a Brita filter wouldn't be able to.
not at all, most likely it tastes sweet because your body needs it and its the bodys way of telling you that you need more of it, you crave what your body needs....drink a shit load of vodka one night wake up the next morning go for a run come back thatll be the sweetest tasting water youve ever drank
Yo Elliot! So I'm in Basic Training, out bivwhacking, camping US Army style, in Georgia, humid and hot, short on water in my canteens, with some skills in land navigation, I find a small water shed, of a large hill, naturally filtered water. THIS WATER WAS THE MOST AMAZING SHIT EVER! More crisp, clean water I tasted. Now a civilian, friends tell me they can't taste any difference in most water. Flips me out, they don't know what they are missing.
this video was quite elitist, i get what this guy's saying but at the same time is it absolutely necessary even in ideal conditions to have a reverse osmosis machine? rejecting science just so you can create your own dogma, also its incredible in this video how he contradicts himself so clearly " i don't drink it because of any ideal" then later " i invest in what i actually am so that i can produce great results", so there you have it, he is drinking the water from the machine because of an ideal or philosophy not because it taste any different or he read anything to suggest that its better for you in a scientific journal
i believe you need to watch this video again and try to understand what it is he's trying to point out at the viewers. To be healthy and clean, your body must acclimate to healty non polluted foods and water, to recognise all the toxins we consume on a daily basis without thinking about it. where the hell do you think cancer comes from? from corporate fucking money hungry modern days society. poisoning the people for MONEY. he doenst drink CLEAN water because of some ideal, he drinks CLEAN water, because it is CLEAN WATER we need to FUNCTION, SURVIVE AND THRIVE, and CLEAN WATER IS FUCKING DELICIOUS!. so there you have it, you have critique on 'someone who's trying to deliver an important and helpful messenge to his viewers in order to become the strongest version of themselves' ... for no good reason at all.
I think you misinterpreted his video quite terribly. He didn't move away from tap and bottle because he was told to... instead he moved towards RO water because it fucking felt right. he didn't mention any scientific justification to get RO, he just said it makes him feel better. I don't know why you're upset at that.
***** Water that you actually want to drink dose have taste, because you don't actually want to drink pure water. As you said water is readily contaminated. This is because water is a rather powerful solvent. Pure water can have a harsh quality when drinking it because it can and dose dissolve mucus membranes and other organics on contact. Water that is pleasant to drink is impure due to various contaminants that can add flavor but more importantly neutralize its natural tendancy to create a solution out of your body. The plastic taste is actually plastic. Some modern containers are designed to not transfer to water but again water being a potent solvent it can be difficult. The minerals either added or naturally present in some bottled water is there to both add flavor and reduce the harshness of water in its pure form.
Glad I've clicked " Play " after reading the seemingly uninteresting topic of " Tap Water Vs. Bottled Water ", this video goes way beyond the title and actually discusses the personal feedback system that has to be cultivated in order to have a taste for everything : food, water, alcohol & any other substance. The concept of contrast is a very powerful idea also : if you've never experienced the good quality in life ( in EVERY area of your life ) , then you can't tell the difference between superior and inferior choices.
This video could have been 60 sec. I don't drink either, I use a reverse osmosis machine that I leased from a company and u prob can't afford it so see what your body responds to better. The bottled or the tap. U seem like your tryin to hard to sound smart and it sounds silly
We got a bad ass over here. You can clearly tell because he holds guns up to cameras for his shitty gaming youtube channel. He also has WAAAAAAAAY more money then all of us. Thank you for gracing us with your presence.
jrobuck81 How the fuck am I trying to be a bad ass, I watch damn near all elliots videos and have for like a year now. Sometimes he tends to stray from the subject with all his spiritual mind and body shit is all I'm sayin so don't be so quick to cheerleader with your little skirt on for other u tubers that arn't even bein talked down to
You're a beautiful soul! I live on Vancouver Island and the waterfalls are abundant here. There is a unmistakeable difference drinking from the creaks. You feel 100% better!!
Rendin Salik Personally, I am lucky to have a well. So my water is naturally filtered water from deep under my backyard. We run it through salt to take out the iron content and boom, freshest water you can have. I actually know what Elliott means about crappy tasting water, because I can't drink anything except water from my house. Everything else tastes like chemicals or plastic. I grew up with "city" water and well water is so much better.
I know EXACTLY what he's saying. Those that don't have a 6th sense are to used to being poisoned. People from other countries talk about this type of things all the time. Also fast food and etc I don't know why in America we love being ignorant. So quick to say that's no true blah blah blah
I can see why everyone is so used to being poisoned - heck, the fuckin poison is in our toothpaste, deodorant ( a huge one ), shampoo, water, pretty much all food, the air we breath is probably poisoned somehow and it just goes on and on and on. It makes me sad how we are all pretty much poisoned yet at the same time it pisses me off. I bet you anything there's lots of poison in baby food - heck, the best time to poison anyone is when their a baby right? Watchu gonna do when ur young and defenseless? There is nothin u can do lol.
dmxfan454 Exactly in China they do the same I think it's huge with Mercury or something, but it's for being prepare to take it on make them stronger by getting a small dose. We have much air poisons like smog. Also I watch what I eat and eat pretty health I'm not a weakling but not to diss I'll hate to be like the guy on this video I sure he'a a great person I just don't wanna be a big guy I love being ripped and skinny
De-Von Ambitious Yea man after using my parasite zapper for 10 hours last night I feel super amazing for the first time in a looong time. I actually feel connected with my inner self - like I can actually crack jokes with people again and enjoy communicating with others whereas before I was kinda just in a huge slump - mentally, physically and spiritually. Can u believe that? After 10 hours of using a parasite zapper ( the $150 one ) I already feel waaay better. But yea I hear ya, I wouldn't wanna be quite that big either but hey maybe he was an olympian in a past life or somethin and maybe it's just in his blood to be that big? who knows lol
dmxfan454 Yea I've been like that lately too and I lost my job today,but It was wrongful termination so I not even tripping. What's the zapper? It's in my blood to be big so I don't like working out with weights too much I like my neck
Ouch, sorry to hear that man. The parasite zapper is an invention by Hulda Clarke - if you're interested u can google her and check it out. I almost never buy anything that's overpriced these days just cause I don't have the money to but I can honestly say that this $138 parasite zapper that she invented is aaamazing! It activates all of the white blood cells in your blood which in turn attack all of the bad shit in your blood like parasites, toxins and all the other crap. If your fairly healthy tho than you may not need one but it's still super cool to see how fast the results are.
Reverse osmosis is how most bottled water companies make their water. Which is the exact method Elliott is promoting. As long as you don't reuse the plastic bottles and keep them in the sun you're fine. Tap water has minerals and yes, chemicals that are ridiculously below any toxic levels. There are no reliable studies that say the chemicals in tap water have ANY negative effects whatsoever at the doses received from drinking it (you will literally die of water poisoning before you get any toxic effects), and you will piss them out before they have any chance to build up in your body. The water corporations have a monetary incentive to disprove this and they STILL can't do it. So they just prefer fearmongering and scare tactics to convince people to spend more on their "pure" water (I wonder if that reverse osmosis machine has a big ole Nestle or Dasani logo on the side). I have been drinking exclusively tap water for literally my entire life (I prefer the taste) and I have had no ill effects whatsoever. Elliott preaches the truth a lot but he lost me on this one. Drink whatever the fuck tastes better and don't reuse plastic bottles. That's it.
Dude...you live in a filthy urban area with tons of air pollutants and you're worried about contamination from bottled water? Do you use reverse osmosis to cook your meals also?So then...if you're avoiding all plastics,then I guess you don't drink milk,orange juice,grape juice,V8,prune juice or pineapple juice? Of course,you could seek out milk & orange juice in paper cartons,but you'd be limiting your options and who knows what substance those paper cartons are coated with. Ever consider drinking water from plant-based bottles?Green Planet Bottling makes bottles from 100% plant-based materials. I seriously doubt anyone is going to live to the ripe age of 150,by avoiding plastic bottles...but to each his/her own,I guess....but some of us have budgetary concerns and I'll be goddamned if I'm going to scrimp on my health food diet,so that I can put myself in a financial hole for 10 years...on a reverse osmosis gadget.
Exactly.... He is just doing this water thing as an ego thing. He gets to look at other people drinking out of water bottles and think how badly they are polluting themselves. Makes him feel a little better about his crap life
not to mention reverse osmosis takes out EVERYTHING. it takes out the bad but also the good minerals and nutrients. most bottled water is reverse osmosis water.
i think you're missing the point, he said that he can TASTE the plastic in bottled water which is why he doesn't drink from it, he's not AVOIDING plastic. personally i dont drink from bottled water is because i can taste the chemicals in it. i drink milk from plastic cartons because i cna't taste the plastic or chemicals. so he just avoids bottled water not ALL plastics.
I know, he keeps jumping around the topic without actually explaining what to do as a simple minimum wage person, and then at the end "oh, but I have this fucking expensive filtering machine even I can't afford" like wtf?
As a New Years resolution, I made myself only drink water and completely stop eating fast food, any processed food, and only drinking water. I did it for about two months nonstop without a single cheat meal which is surprising because I went completely cold turkey. I was working a job over 50 hours a week and went out to eat for lunch every day, really rushed schedules, microwaved meals, you get the idea. I got laid off and had a lot more time home and decided to make the change in my diet since I had more time to cook. Completely changed everything. The first couple weeks SUCKED literally the first two weeks I would get random headaches and no matter how much water I drank, it was like I just needed a damn Coke. After the two week mark I just felt so much better. Mind felt a lot more clear. I've always considered myself pretty smart, but having some sort of fogginess when trying to read or study. That went away, it was crazy. After about two months, I had a normal meal, but decided I'd have a glass of sweet tea with it for once (I live in South Georgia). I was like, why not? I'm eating a good meal, it's just one glass. I spent the next hour on the couch with my stomach bulging so hard, it was like a rock. Weirdest feeling I've experienced, it was like a large gas bubble. The worst bloat I've ever felt. I was sluggish, I felt gross, I felt sick to my stomach. I thought maybe it was just a placebo effect of some sort. I went to town to be productive and run some errands about two weeks later (after getting completely back on track and mind you, I haven't cheated on diet the whole year). I stopped by to grab fast food on the way home since I had spent my whole day in town and knew I wouldn't feel like cooking. Again, same thing happened. I get home, sit on the couch, and just stare at the tv with my stomach bulging, I could literally feel my stomach reacting negatively. It's like a poison! We grow up surrounded by all this nasty food and become immune to it. It's like smoking cigarettes. It sucks at first then they get addicted and love it. All bad things for you health wise start off with your body completely rejecting it, but you continuously do it (why I don't know) until you like it. Cigs, alcohol you acquire a taste for, snacks being too sweet at first.. Go ask an elderly person who's pretty healthy to drink something as simple as a Gatorade. They'll say it's so sweet. It's all not good tasting or whatever at first. Maybe not every single negative thing, but you get the point. LONG STORY SHORT just treat your body well. Get past the first 2-3 weeks and you will be amazed. Honor your body, feed it the best nutrients you can, get past that hump, and it gets so much easier and your body will love you and make it actually harder to go back to your old ways. And if you do, it'll actually be weird at first. I promise if you go 2 months without any caffeine then drink a Coke, it won't be the "I needed that so bad" reaction you're expecting. It'll be "wow that's not even that great and it's giving me a headache" reaction!
Six months ago, my doctor gave me the solution to my sleeping disorders. Slept two hours a night. 'Do some work-out, tire yourself out.' Everything went better in body, mind and soul since back then. But then, two months ago, it 's just like you say. I could no longer STAND junkfood, soda's, energy drinks, alcohol and many other different kinds of foods and drinks. My body protested and rejected it. I'm now trying to get coffee out of my system. On occasion i sleep bad, and quickly drink one cup (no sugar though) to get the day started. Keep up the work bro! Love your videos!
+Pizzahoofje XO Black coffee in itself isn't bad. If you want to go healthier you could probably just get caffeine supplements. Just whatever you do, avoid cream.
The most important element after oxygen? Water by mass is 88% oxygen. Every heard of H2O. Yep. Two hydrogen atoms with an amu of 2. And one oxygen atoms with an amu of 16. Water is not even an element. It's a molecule.
It's funny you should mention the taste of pure water. I'm from the North West of England and our water isn't fluoridated, it pretty much comes off the hills, is checked for bacteria etc and pumped into our homes from huge reservoirs. My wife is from central Canada, from the plains. Their water was pumped from the mountains, stored, fluoridated, treated and who knows what else She thinks our water tastes sweet, actually sweet tasting by comparison to the "hot dog" water she grew up with.
Please show me a source suggest our water in the north west isn't flouridated because it fucking is and heres the truth all water tap and bottle has flouride and hidden chemicals such as chlorine in it to make us feel tired, its all done on purpose The ONLY way to get round it is to be like elliot and be proactive and get your water separated from the shit thats put in it
Robert Leather I hate to break it down to you, even the hills/mountains aren't safe. Unless you live in a country so undeveloped there is no pollution(not that it matters because other countries are polluting, making rain water acidic), then all the water in the hills/mountains are slightly acidic, this water then dissolves compounds from rocks, therefore it's not pure water.
***** Wrong assumption - I'm European. Doesn't surprise me though, when people are so credulous to accept the claim that fluoride in the tap water is poisonous. Newsflash: our teeth need this element - it's not a poison, it's a micronutrient.
Michael Riess newsflash: it may be good for our teeth but so bad for our body. Do your research. And what if you sip 4 liters a day? Woulndt you get in way to much?
***** Not necessarily - for example, toxic levels of fluoride affect bone formation, yet fluoride fortification is associated with less fractures. If you must drink a gallon of water a day, by all means calculate whether your dose would reach toxic levels - I highly doubt it. In any case, I'd recommend you google "hyponatremia".
I know this video is old, but Elliot, right the fuck on, brother. I wish all my brothers applied contrast to everything in their lives. Learn to sense all that is bad for you. Not just water and not just food. Everything you need to know is locked up within your own mind. You have only to free it. All you need to free it is to actually really use it. Most never do. They simply do what they're told or what the people around them are doing. I'm here because I unlocked it through deep introspection and now I'm full of so much energy from the improvements I've made in my life and the weight that I've lost, I have to focus it or I'm going to bring my house down. I'm here because you tell me what I'm already thinking, but here, it's organized and delivered by a Man. Thanks Elliot. Not many guys that I would consider for a mentor, but you got it. You're the real deal. Body, Mind, and Spirit. Right now I've got the Mind and Spirit, but I've got some work to do on Body.
Loved it. I always thought the exact same that water out of a glass did taste a whole lot better. I use the Brita filter, what do you think of those? I know you recommend the reverse-osmosis machine as it's important to get the best water possible as we are made of water, but until I can what do you think of the filters? I can tell a huge difference in the taste and it's all I will drink now for my water supply. I know the charcoal filter is pretty great, but how great...
Regarding the first minute and a half of this video, you should really go back and relearn your high school chemistry. If you knew your chemistry, you would know that these machines also have their own problems and can cause you problems in the long run. Stop advising people on shit you know nothing about.
What problems do these machines have? I'm interested to know as from what I've read, they also remove good minerals but many machines have a 5-6 stage which add back in the required minerals
Jack Gains number one issue -> Gotta replace filters.. If filtered water is held in plastic holders, if you don't drink it fast. It will pick up some plastic too, depending on the kind of plastic. More pro's than cons, Financially the biggest con.
+ZKWMSnowball must assume you're responding to madmike as he's the only one to have given an actual number, which was 5L for £2. So not sure why you think that's a rip off compared to 0.08L for 0.78€ in Spain, which by ratio is much more expensive (and so is 0.8L if that's is what you meant). +Genes Eh and what the heck are you talking about? you don't know how much water costs because it's so expensive? Have you never been to... geez what are those places called... um.. oh yea, a STORE? Or were you from New Zealand Mars, not Earth? Or maybe just a troll (Or you're 6. In that case get off the youtube chats and get outside)
The thing that sucks about reverse osmosis machines is they remove 85-98% of other healthy, helpful nutrients that are found in natural drinking water. That is why some bottled water companies who filter using reverse osmosis add "minerals" to their water.
Natural water does not have any vitamin B,C or niacin or sodium in it. They add vitamins because it helps your body hydrate, not because some kind of "vitamins" that don't exist in water in the first place are lost in reverse osmosis. You have no clue what you are talking about, sit down kid.
LulzRoyce Natural water obviously doesn't have vitamin B or other vitamins, but it does have sodium, calcium, and other minerals! I think you are confused with pure natural water coming from nature and distilled water. Water that doesn't have minerals in it, such as calcium or sodium will flush out everything from your body which is also not good. Bottle companies just take that concept way too far, and start adding vitamin that shouldn't be in the water such as Vitamin B etc... since they are found in protein and stuff, there is no place for them to have that. Natural Spring water or lake water has calcium and sodium. But if your osmosis machine takes away a lot of minerals (there is a difference between minerals and vitamins by the way) then you can add it yourself, extremely small amount that can, barely be measured. P.S never drink distilled water, it will flush all the nutrients out of your body, and will not be absorbed.
LulzRoyce Actually Benjamin is right. I do Drinking water Treatment for a living (State of Florida Class A), a true R.O process (don't believe those under the sink versions are real R.O....it takes an operating PSI of close to 200 to force the water through Acetate Membranes)....a true RO produces Just pure H2O, it is highly acidic at around a pH of 3..Minerals (Ca,Mg.) have to be added back to buffer the water back to a neutral pH of around 7.5
Darin Whitehead dr lawrence wilson believes that high pressure and plastic membrane damages the water and causes it to be too yin....I'm sure viktor schauberger (vortex water) would agree with most of it...see my comment for the direct quote
I don't know about the H2O being too "yin" as such but the end result (if the system is working properly) is just hydrogen and oxygen at that point , flat and tasteless , this end result is blended with raw water that still contains minerals to produce a finished product that is lower in minerals and hardness and yet is still lower than their raw water source
just saying... but imagine an apocalypse scenario with eliot and he standing right there in front of you saying, "nah we aint gonna bring these shity bottle water for the camp, it tastes like plastic and it has way too many chemicals, besides my body just cant stand it" like WTF it´s just water!
It depends on the country. Some countries fluoride on water, with the intention of stopping cavities on the teeth and people takes an issue on that because they fear its toxic. The amount of fluoride added is so low that is harmless, but like you say, the researches founded by bottle water companies are a business pushing people to drink bottled water, witch normally comes from same water sources than the tap water. As I started saying, it depends on the country. I'm originally from Spain, where the water comes with fluoride, and I had never experienced any type of health problems water related. 3 years ago I moved to Finland, where the tap water does not contain fluoride, and after 3 years of fluoride free water I feel no difference at all. I rarely drink bottled water, only when I have to because there is no other water source nearby.
A Just Cause So tell me the effects of a light metal like sodium fluoride on the body? Tough talking words, but let's talk facts. You have a Movember logo claiming you want to raise money for a prostate cancer cure....how about focusing on the fucking CAUSE? Look up Dr Dean Burk and his research on fluoride. Yes, he is a top level expert.
I don't drink tap water, Like Elliot it's not because of science. My decision is because when I clean my shower, or toilet it doesn't take long for them to have all these mineral build ups after. So, I prefer bottled water. If I had more money I'd get better water, but I do what I can. Common sense goes a long way.
I've been drinking reverse osmosis water. He's right, if you're conditioned to it. You can taste it in plastic and impurities from the tap, when I use water fountains I drink sparingly. Just tastes wrong to me, metallic, chemicals, and whatever else. water should be sweet.
I think I live in a hard water area.
I turned the tap on and it said, "What the fuck are you lookin' at?"
Then my cup said
"I'm look at you b, You gonna fill me up the water in cup in me G!"
Im not a stoner but i acted that out in my kitchen a week ago..funny..to bad i had no company.
"I'm not that interested in facts and figures and statistics..."
Then you should stop talking like you know anything.
The people negatively responding to my post who also cannot distinguish between general and specific is not a coincidence for they are idiots. Read my OP. Did you see a single word about water? No, because it is a general statement that anyone who isn't interested in facts, figures, and statistics (especially the first one) is not a reliable source of information. Case closed. Move along.

Water tip! Most you-brew places, especially wine places, usually have a reverse osmosis water filteration system. The one I go to its only $3 to fill those big water cooler jugs. Normally u pay $10+ for a jug of spring water/distilled water at the grocery store. Go find a local you-brew place and start fillin up your stuff there.

I consider Elliot a philosopher. These videos are pure gold.
"What I invite you to do..." such a good phrase. I'm gonna try to start using that whenever I get the chance.
Tap water is safe, bottled water is pretty much tap water filtered through a carbon filter. Safe the $ and just get a Brita filter and filter your tap water. Trust me, I'm a civil engineer, infrastructure is my shit.
"Tap water is safe"
a) no it's not
b) fluoride is not removed by a Brita filter.
c) can you please tell me as a 'civil engineer' what effects sodium fluoride has on the body? Particularly the glands.
Hang The Bankers You are correct sir! Pineal gland is no more with fluoride. Calcification is not a good thing.
Hang The Bankers
"no its not" lol
Hang The Bankers I can't comment on biochemistry, that is not my shit. However, I am familiar with drinking water laws and regulations. If you refuse to drink tap water because of perceived pollutants I hope you breath from a tank of compressed oxygen because what can be dumped into the atmosphere is FAR FAR worse than what can legally be put in drinking water supplies.
WVU Benjisaur That's what plants in your house are for ;) But yes the air isn't any better.
It's true. I started eating clean recently and I find that when I eat fast food I can taste that it's junk. I feel bleh and I have no desire to eat it really anymore.
TheBeLuvdTRex I think some junk food tastes good still. But I LOVE my cooking.
dude why the f have i not known about you. Eliot you are so fucking inspiring
man
>Why the f
>fucking inspiring
If you think you can tell the difference in taste between bottled water and tap water you're very likely wrong, it's in your head. In blind taste tests people almost always fail to tell the difference between tap water and bottled water. If you've convinced yourself otherwise and you're happy, that's great, you just need to accept you're letting your outward biases and perceptions get in the way of the truth.
For some weird reason this is my fav vid on YT
i`m from austria and our tapwater is amazing! great quality water from the alps. and i´ve been in texas in 2012. i tried drinking tap water, my throat started burning and it was like acid to me. simply horrible! i am very thankful for the fact that my country has probably the cleanest tap water on earth!

I think it's crazy how in some countries you have to "invest" in water, I live in Sweden and perfect fresh tap water costs like 20 cents per Liter.
> I live in Sweden and perfect fresh tap water costs like 20 cents per Liter.
No, it doesn't. You buy water by the cubic meter, and you don't pay $200 per cubic meter. How do I know? Well, the average Swede uses about 45 cubic meters of water every year. That'd be $9,000 a year per person, or about the same as a 50 m^2 apartment in a suburb of Stockholm.
You pay just under $2 for a cubic meter of tap water in Sweden. That's about 100 times cheaper than your claim.
If you think you pay $0.20/litre of water, either your pipes are broken OR somebody is ripping you off big time.

Worrying about tap water is so first world problems lmao
We are first world BECAUSE we care about EVERYTHING! We strive for utopia. We mess up along the way but that is our goal. So yes, first world problem.. but if we did not strive for these things then we would not be first world.
a lot of people in the "first world" are less healthy than people in more basic conditions. Plastics leaching into water is just one of the many ways we get bullshit causing problems with our health
***** Unwanted chemical additives in water are just as shitty as unwanted additives in our food. Certain plastics mimic hormones in our bodies, and that's not a good thing. Some plastics have already been banned for use in certain products exactly because of that. We're still learning about exactly how our health is being affected by all the weird stuff that we've invented in the last couple hundred years. If you already eat well and do exercise, then plastics leaching into your water (and as Elliot says, you can really taste that it's doing so) is a valid health concern.
Something like 70 or 80 % of our body is water. So wouldnt it make some fucking sense to give your body good water if 70-80% of your fucking body is wateR? THINK BRO
If "we" strived for a utopia everyone would be brought along not just those lucky enough to be born in developed countries
Why are so many people hating on someone who does post heaps of educational informative videos... at least he's doing something good his time rather than beating down on people while sitting on their fat ass.

it was a joke lol chill

Tap "water" which is really a drink, like a soda. It is a product crated by a company and designed to have the tastes, colors, smells, and textures that please the customers. True water is just water, it is not a engineered corporate product like a soda. What's coming out of your tap is a drink, not water.
Hope you are joking.
No joke. Check out the water quality summery that your water company puts out. In it is all of the many things they put into the water, and some companies explain why each chemical is in there. Basically to create an appealing product that consumers consume and are willing to pay for.

what an intressting approach to giving advice. You tell people how to choose water instead of telling them what to do.

Most tap water is more heavily regulated than bottled water.
This. Bottled water is oftenly just tap water put in a bottle.
Afro Samurai Aquafina and Dasani waters are bottled tap water however there are bottled water companies that collect fresh spring water with 0 ppm of flouride.

The fluoride in the tap water is not that big of a deal. Contrary to the assertions of conspiracy theorists, the amount of fluoride in the tap water is too low to cause any mental deficiencies. I have my own problems with the fluoride in the tap water though, mostly moral problems.
I agree. Personally, I feel nauseated when I drink water that contains flouride. Some people may disagree though.

Yes i want a update on this too lol.
@OsamaBin Butt what do u mean
that's crazy when i drink certain types of bottled water i feel sick.
I didn’t know how much truth this held back in the day. I come and rewatch it now after experiencing it myself through food. I started to eat very cleanly so I can lose weight and become healthier; lots of vegetables, healthy fats, no processed food. After a while and some results, I said fuck it and ate McDonald’s; and let me tell you! Within 20 minutes of finishing my meal, I was grabbing the Gravol becauseI felt sick to my stomach and wanted to throw up. Never again, or rarely will I eat fast food again; I don’t wanna feel like that. I hear some people say something along the lines of “you’re never too good for McDonald’s! So stop fussing and grab a burger”, I used to be like that, but now I wanna grab those people and tell them “Its not about being too good or better than someone who eats it, I don’t wanna feel shitty again”. That experience was very eye opening.

Great Video. Same applies to lifting. Everyone wants to know what's the best workout split. Science says this Broscience says that. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY!!! if you can lift full body 3 times a week and recover and continue to get stronger than do it! if you lift one muscle a week and it takes you 7 days to recover each body part and it gets you stronger than DO IT!! Stop looking for answers for things from other people, Start listening to your body and what it needs to grow and be healthy.
Elliot how much water do you drink a day?
never heard someone so enthusiastic about being yourself and caring for yourself. you only get one self. great content, brother
ruclips.net/video/9XDLU_FnK1s/видео.html
hmmm Elliot man I'm sorry to say this cuz I think most of your videos are pretty smart and your approach to training is great in my opinion but you're wrong on this one. No there isn't a 6th sense to know when you're being "poisoned" or stuff. The nocebo effect is a real thing that can cause various psychosomatic effects that you will actually feel in your body and may even truely disturb your health... but that isn't a matter of actually sensing that something's wrong. Many times people say they feel stuff like that and there just isn't anything going on.
Truth is that tap water actually is way safer and better for your health than the water that most humans have been drinking in past history. Can it have downsides? maybe but nothing such that it has kept life expectancy to rise and reach unprecedented levels in world's history. All these internet claims and conspiracies about what's in the tap water are garbage. There's only one reason why people get sick from drinking tap water is when for any reason some uncleaned water ends up in the pipes and people end up drinking water that did not go through the cleaning process. When that happens, very often, old or weaker people die from it...
that's the reality that we'd have to deal with if we didn't use the products that we use to clean our water. All in all, naturally clean water is a scarce thing...
dam you beat me to it!
for elliott there is, for you there is not. for me IT IS and I can tell whether I'm poisoned or not because my body tells me. believe it or not.....
thats part of the placebo effect. you think its poisoning you so you go in with that preconceived notion that its bad. then everything bad or any ill feeling you chalk up to the water or you manifest your own false ailments. its also reminiscent of a conformation bias. bottled water is way overpriced and a waste of money. also its not actually held to a super high standard, for example here in toronto the tap water is actually held to a higher standard of purity than bottled water.
Cheeba McNudelz well unless you're having an allergic reaction there's no telling. It's just you thinking you're being poisoned. And it's just one out of many placebo/nocebo effect encountered by those who try to skip on science.
I can go to the nearest "natural" products store and find countless people who for a reason or another feel like having a salt lamp around will help remove stress or that their electronic electricity counter is giving them migraines.
There's an astonishing amount of people who have blurry symptoms for virtually an infinity of factors who actually have 0 influence on their body. It's just them causing it.
And as I said. To say that tap water is poisonous is a stretch. Tap water is in itself responsible for a huge part of human's life expectancy and there is very few places in the world, even if they were completely unspoiled by men, that you could drink water from that you wouldn't make you sick at some point.
To pretend that your body is able to feel that tap water is poisonous would basically mean that your body feels stuff that it wasn't even intended to do by nature and bringing you to lift your nose on something that is far better for it than what you should be expecting to find in nature.
bill bob well here in America people want to keep there jobs at the water treatment plant so........they lie about the levels of chemicals they put in our drinking water and people in my area start getting really sick. ALL FACTS NO PLACEBO. I'm in Iowa by the way the heart land where all the world's food is grown and raised well the process to grow grain and raise cattle pollutes the earth more then automobiles ALL FACTS. So what do they do move some people around the u.s.a to work at other treatment plants to do the same thing they were doing here......again ALL FACTS. So don't tell me or other people that tap water, that I can start on fire is safer then r-o also oh I've been to Toronto you can have drake back we kept the great one.
"I am water..I AM WATER!!" I need that on a shirt
I stopped eating all fast food about 7 years ago, well midway in between at about the 3.5 year mark without eating fast food, I was driving and out pretty lake and hungry, I went to McD's, got nuggets. I ate about 10 out of 20 and withing 5 minutes I was coughing up phlegm, and my sinuses were congested. Literally made me sick. I refuse to eat or drink any garbage now.
endwatcher That's why I always try to eat fast food on a regular basis. When you avoid it for too long, you can't tolerate it anymore. I'd rather have many options available to me than only a few because I avoided too many things.

This guy is a genius, on a real level. The knowledge seems so simple but it's serious and people have become out of touch with this, his passion and knowledge really make these videos fun to watch. Only you know you, Thanks Elliott.
if your water tastes sweet then there is hella kinds of chemicals in that shit
That's what I was thinking. But I think he meant "sweet" as in "revitalising" or "fresh", and not that it tastes like sugar. He might have meant "sweet relative to water that has been sitting in a plastic bottle".
Water tastes sweeter when it's cold. I assume that machine cools the water.
CRW5252 Do you know what osmosis is? An RO filter forces this process to happen in reverse. It takes a lot of impurities out of water that a Brita filter wouldn't be able to.
not at all, most likely it tastes sweet because your body needs it and its the bodys way of telling you that you need more of it, you crave what your body needs....drink a shit load of vodka one night wake up the next morning go for a run come back thatll be the sweetest tasting water youve ever drank
distilled water is boiled and it tastes kinda sweet in my opinion
We in Sweden are really privileged when in it comes to water, and I'm reminded of that everytime I'm in another country.

Yo Elliot! So I'm in Basic Training, out bivwhacking, camping US Army style, in Georgia, humid and hot, short on water in my canteens, with some skills in land navigation, I find a small water shed, of a large hill, naturally filtered water. THIS WATER WAS THE MOST AMAZING SHIT EVER! More crisp, clean water I tasted. Now a civilian, friends tell me they can't taste any difference in most water. Flips me out, they don't know what they are missing.
"my success isn't a mistake" amazing
"I AM WATER! I INVEST IN WHAT I ACTUALLY AM"
this video was quite elitist, i get what this guy's saying but at the same time is it absolutely necessary even in ideal conditions to have a reverse osmosis machine? rejecting science just so you can create your own dogma, also its incredible in this video how he contradicts himself so clearly " i don't drink it because of any ideal" then later " i invest in what i actually am so that i can produce great results", so there you have it, he is drinking the water from the machine because of an ideal or philosophy not because it taste any different or he read anything to suggest that its better for you in a scientific journal
i believe you need to watch this video again and try to understand what it is he's trying to point out at the viewers. To be healthy and clean, your body must acclimate to healty non polluted foods and water, to recognise all the toxins we consume on a daily basis without thinking about it. where the hell do you think cancer comes from? from corporate fucking money hungry modern days society. poisoning the people for MONEY. he doenst drink CLEAN water because of some ideal, he drinks CLEAN water, because it is CLEAN WATER we need to FUNCTION, SURVIVE AND THRIVE, and CLEAN WATER IS FUCKING DELICIOUS!.
so there you have it, you have critique on 'someone who's trying to deliver an important and helpful messenge to his viewers in order to become the strongest version of themselves' ... for no good reason at all.
I think you misinterpreted his video quite terribly. He didn't move away from tap and bottle because he was told to... instead he moved towards RO water because it fucking felt right. he didn't mention any scientific justification to get RO, he just said it makes him feel better. I don't know why you're upset at that.
Bottled water taste like plastic?
Damn u reall got sum good ass taste buds err water i drunk tasted like water water has no taste
I prefer bottled
That's because you haven't had any contrast like he was talking about. You haven't tasted real water before.
Jaskarn Dhatt I'm pretty damn sure I've tasted "real water" before
James English Well apparently Elliott only drinks RO water in glass containers. Have you ever tasted that? Not many people ever have.
***** Water that you actually want to drink dose have taste, because you don't actually want to drink pure water. As you said water is readily contaminated. This is because water is a rather powerful solvent. Pure water can have a harsh quality when drinking it because it can and dose dissolve mucus membranes and other organics on contact. Water that is pleasant to drink is impure due to various contaminants that can add flavor but more importantly neutralize its natural tendancy to create a solution out of your body. The plastic taste is actually plastic. Some modern containers are designed to not transfer to water but again water being a potent solvent it can be difficult.
The minerals either added or naturally present in some bottled water is there to both add flavor and reduce the harshness of water in its pure form.
What you are saying is one of the most important messages of strength, fitness, nutriton, and general spirituality.
Glad I've clicked " Play " after reading the seemingly uninteresting topic of " Tap Water Vs. Bottled Water ", this video goes way beyond the title and actually discusses the personal feedback system that has to be cultivated in order to have a taste for everything : food, water, alcohol & any other substance.
The concept of contrast is a very powerful idea also : if you've never experienced the good quality in life ( in EVERY area of your life ) , then you can't tell the difference between superior and inferior choices.
What about the water lines in your reverse-osmosis machine? They are plastic aren't they?
bottled water is the same as tap water just a waste of plastic
Do your research, friend
Water should be pH 7...
This video could have been 60 sec. I don't drink either, I use a reverse osmosis machine that I leased from a company and u prob can't afford it so see what your body responds to better. The bottled or the tap. U seem like your tryin to hard to sound smart and it sounds silly

Sometimes he tends to stray from the subject with all his spiritual mind and body shit is all I'm sayin so don't be so quick to cheerleader with your little skirt on for other u tubers that arn't even bein talked down to
Shikashi Sensei Wrong, I did it exceptional
***** That's what he said in the video u fuckin moron, I was summarizing his video. Curse him out not me
I love how fucking passionate you are!
You're a beautiful soul! I live on Vancouver Island and the waterfalls are abundant here. There is a unmistakeable difference drinking from the creaks. You feel 100% better!!
Not a fan of reverse osmosis. screws with the polarity of water and isn't great for hydration. great for filtration.. but not hydration.
so wat options do u use bottled water or tap
Rendin Salik
Personally, I am lucky to have a well. So my water is naturally filtered water from deep under my backyard. We run it through salt to take out the iron content and boom, freshest water you can have. I actually know what Elliott means about crappy tasting water, because I can't drink anything except water from my house. Everything else tastes like chemicals or plastic. I grew up with "city" water and well water is so much better.
11 minute video about water and not a second was a waste haha
I know EXACTLY what he's saying. Those that don't have a 6th sense are to used to being poisoned. People from other countries talk about this type of things all the time. Also fast food and etc I don't know why in America we love being ignorant. So quick to say that's no true blah blah blah
I can see why everyone is so used to being poisoned - heck, the fuckin poison is in our toothpaste, deodorant ( a huge one ), shampoo, water, pretty much all food, the air we breath is probably poisoned somehow and it just goes on and on and on. It makes me sad how we are all pretty much poisoned yet at the same time it pisses me off. I bet you anything there's lots of poison in baby food - heck, the best time to poison anyone is when their a baby right? Watchu gonna do when ur young and defenseless? There is nothin u can do lol.
dmxfan454 Exactly in China they do the same I think it's huge with Mercury or something, but it's for being prepare to take it on make them stronger by getting a small dose. We have much air poisons like smog. Also I watch what I eat and eat pretty health I'm not a weakling but not to diss I'll hate to be like the guy on this video I sure he'a a great person I just don't wanna be a big guy I love being ripped and skinny
De-Von Ambitious Yea man after using my parasite zapper for 10 hours last night I feel super amazing for the first time in a looong time. I actually feel connected with my inner self - like I can actually crack jokes with people again and enjoy communicating with others whereas before I was kinda just in a huge slump - mentally, physically and spiritually. Can u believe that? After 10 hours of using a parasite zapper ( the $150 one ) I already feel waaay better. But yea I hear ya, I wouldn't wanna be quite that big either but hey maybe he was an olympian in a past life or somethin and maybe it's just in his blood to be that big? who knows lol
dmxfan454 Yea I've been like that lately too and I lost my job today,but It was wrongful termination so I not even tripping. What's the zapper? It's in my blood to be big so I don't like working out with weights too much I like my neck
Ouch, sorry to hear that man. The parasite zapper is an invention by Hulda Clarke - if you're interested u can google her and check it out. I almost never buy anything that's overpriced these days just cause I don't have the money to but I can honestly say that this $138 parasite zapper that she invented is aaamazing! It activates all of the white blood cells in your blood which in turn attack all of the bad shit in your blood like parasites, toxins and all the other crap. If your fairly healthy tho than you may not need one but it's still super cool to see how fast the results are.
Probably the best response I've seen to the tap vs bottled water debate. Thanks.
Reverse osmosis is how most bottled water companies make their water. Which is the exact method Elliott is promoting. As long as you don't reuse the plastic bottles and keep them in the sun you're fine.
Tap water has minerals and yes, chemicals that are ridiculously below any toxic levels. There are no reliable studies that say the chemicals in tap water have ANY negative effects whatsoever at the doses received from drinking it (you will literally die of water poisoning before you get any toxic effects), and you will piss them out before they have any chance to build up in your body.
The water corporations have a monetary incentive to disprove this and they STILL can't do it. So they just prefer fearmongering and scare tactics to convince people to spend more on their "pure" water (I wonder if that reverse osmosis machine has a big ole Nestle or Dasani logo on the side). I have been drinking exclusively tap water for literally my entire life (I prefer the taste) and I have had no ill effects whatsoever.
Elliott preaches the truth a lot but he lost me on this one.
Drink whatever the fuck tastes better and don't reuse plastic bottles. That's it.
Dude...you live in a filthy urban area with tons of air pollutants and you're worried about contamination from bottled water?
Do you use reverse osmosis to cook your meals also?So then...if you're avoiding all plastics,then I guess you don't drink milk,orange juice,grape juice,V8,prune juice or pineapple juice?
Of course,you could seek out milk & orange juice in paper cartons,but you'd be limiting your options and who knows what substance those paper cartons are coated with.
Ever consider drinking water from plant-based bottles?Green Planet Bottling makes bottles from 100% plant-based materials.
I seriously doubt anyone is going to live to the ripe age of 150,by avoiding plastic bottles...but to each his/her own,I guess....but some of us have budgetary concerns and I'll be goddamned if I'm going to scrimp on my health food diet,so that I can put myself in a financial hole for 10 years...on a reverse osmosis gadget.
Exactly....
He is just doing this water thing as an ego thing. He gets to look at other people drinking out of water bottles and think how badly they are polluting themselves. Makes him feel a little better about his crap life
not to mention reverse osmosis takes out EVERYTHING. it takes out the bad but also the good minerals and nutrients. most bottled water is reverse osmosis water.
Dustin Dulaney No it doesnt. That when you distill water.
FuzzyFruits yes it does thats why they use it for saltwater aquariums. It has no beneficial value.
i think you're missing the point, he said that he can TASTE the plastic in bottled water which is why he doesn't drink from it, he's not AVOIDING plastic. personally i dont drink from bottled water is because i can taste the chemicals in it. i drink milk from plastic cartons because i cna't taste the plastic or chemicals. so he just avoids bottled water not ALL plastics.
its moon shine in that jar
holy gawd can't this just be a 2 minute max video?
Exactly
You get more money from youtube this way, maybe...
I know, he keeps jumping around the topic without actually explaining what to do as a simple minimum wage person, and then at the end "oh, but I have this fucking expensive filtering machine even I can't afford" like wtf?
As a New Years resolution, I made myself only drink water and completely stop eating fast food, any processed food, and only drinking water. I did it for about two months nonstop without a single cheat meal which is surprising because I went completely cold turkey. I was working a job over 50 hours a week and went out to eat for lunch every day, really rushed schedules, microwaved meals, you get the idea. I got laid off and had a lot more time home and decided to make the change in my diet since I had more time to cook. Completely changed everything. The first couple weeks SUCKED literally the first two weeks I would get random headaches and no matter how much water I drank, it was like I just needed a damn Coke. After the two week mark I just felt so much better. Mind felt a lot more clear. I've always considered myself pretty smart, but having some sort of fogginess when trying to read or study. That went away, it was crazy. After about two months, I had a normal meal, but decided I'd have a glass of sweet tea with it for once (I live in South Georgia). I was like, why not? I'm eating a good meal, it's just one glass. I spent the next hour on the couch with my stomach bulging so hard, it was like a rock. Weirdest feeling I've experienced, it was like a large gas bubble. The worst bloat I've ever felt. I was sluggish, I felt gross, I felt sick to my stomach. I thought maybe it was just a placebo effect of some sort. I went to town to be productive and run some errands about two weeks later (after getting completely back on track and mind you, I haven't cheated on diet the whole year). I stopped by to grab fast food on the way home since I had spent my whole day in town and knew I wouldn't feel like cooking. Again, same thing happened. I get home, sit on the couch, and just stare at the tv with my stomach bulging, I could literally feel my stomach reacting negatively. It's like a poison! We grow up surrounded by all this nasty food and become immune to it. It's like smoking cigarettes. It sucks at first then they get addicted and love it. All bad things for you health wise start off with your body completely rejecting it, but you continuously do it (why I don't know) until you like it. Cigs, alcohol you acquire a taste for, snacks being too sweet at first.. Go ask an elderly person who's pretty healthy to drink something as simple as a Gatorade. They'll say it's so sweet. It's all not good tasting or whatever at first. Maybe not every single negative thing, but you get the point. LONG STORY SHORT just treat your body well. Get past the first 2-3 weeks and you will be amazed. Honor your body, feed it the best nutrients you can, get past that hump, and it gets so much easier and your body will love you and make it actually harder to go back to your old ways. And if you do, it'll actually be weird at first. I promise if you go 2 months without any caffeine then drink a Coke, it won't be the "I needed that so bad" reaction you're expecting. It'll be "wow that's not even that great and it's giving me a headache" reaction!
Six months ago, my doctor gave me the solution to my sleeping disorders. Slept two hours a night. 'Do some work-out, tire yourself out.' Everything went better in body, mind and soul since back then. But then, two months ago, it 's just like you say. I could no longer STAND junkfood, soda's, energy drinks, alcohol and many other different kinds of foods and drinks. My body protested and rejected it. I'm now trying to get coffee out of my system. On occasion i sleep bad, and quickly drink one cup (no sugar though) to get the day started. Keep up the work bro! Love your videos!
+Pizzahoofje XO Black coffee in itself isn't bad. If you want to go healthier you could probably just get caffeine supplements. Just whatever you do, avoid cream.
The most important element after oxygen? Water by mass is 88% oxygen. Every heard of H2O. Yep. Two hydrogen atoms with an amu of 2. And one oxygen atoms with an amu of 16. Water is not even an element. It's a molecule.
Stick to you gaming Samnotsowise!
Implying...? I don't even game.
Stick to you broscience
Shadfish!
It's funny you should mention the taste of pure water. I'm from the North West of England and our water isn't fluoridated, it pretty much comes off the hills, is checked for bacteria etc and pumped into our homes from huge reservoirs. My wife is from central Canada, from the plains. Their water was pumped from the mountains, stored, fluoridated, treated and who knows what else
She thinks our water tastes sweet, actually sweet tasting by comparison to the "hot dog" water she grew up with.
Please show me a source suggest our water in the north west isn't flouridated because it fucking is and heres the truth all water tap and bottle has flouride and hidden chemicals such as chlorine in it to make us feel tired, its all done on purpose The ONLY way to get round it is to be like elliot and be proactive and get your water separated from the shit thats put in it
Robert Leather I hate to break it down to you, even the hills/mountains aren't safe. Unless you live in a country so undeveloped there is no pollution(not that it matters because other countries are polluting, making rain water acidic), then all the water in the hills/mountains are slightly acidic, this water then dissolves compounds from rocks, therefore it's not pure water.
YeshuaReigns I live in England, London. Everyone I know doesn't drink tap water, it's all about the bottle water.
YeshuaReigns River Thames , enough said.
YeshuaReigns No Chlorine in the water in the North West. Check your facts mate.
so glad the netherlands and most of europe doesnt use fluoride in the tap water
Yeah, as is obvious from the state of their teeth.
Michael Riess People like you makes it so hard to like americans
***** Wrong assumption - I'm European. Doesn't surprise me though, when people are so credulous to accept the claim that fluoride in the tap water is poisonous. Newsflash: our teeth need this element - it's not a poison, it's a micronutrient.
Michael Riess newsflash: it may be good for our teeth but so bad for our body. Do your research. And what if you sip 4 liters a day? Woulndt you get in way to much?
***** Not necessarily - for example, toxic levels of fluoride affect bone formation, yet fluoride fortification is associated with less fractures. If you must drink a gallon of water a day, by all means calculate whether your dose would reach toxic levels - I highly doubt it. In any case, I'd recommend you google "hyponatremia".
I know this video is old, but Elliot, right the fuck on, brother. I wish all my brothers applied contrast to everything in their lives. Learn to sense all that is bad for you. Not just water and not just food. Everything you need to know is locked up within your own mind. You have only to free it. All you need to free it is to actually really use it. Most never do. They simply do what they're told or what the people around them are doing. I'm here because I unlocked it through deep introspection and now I'm full of so much energy from the improvements I've made in my life and the weight that I've lost, I have to focus it or I'm going to bring my house down. I'm here because you tell me what I'm already thinking, but here, it's organized and delivered by a Man. Thanks Elliot. Not many guys that I would consider for a mentor, but you got it. You're the real deal. Body, Mind, and Spirit. Right now I've got the Mind and Spirit, but I've got some work to do on Body.

I just came here to hear somebody's opinion on the two subjects. This video went to a whole other place. Thank you, Elliott.
Loved it. I always thought the exact same that water out of a glass did taste a whole lot better. I use the Brita filter, what do you think of those? I know you recommend the reverse-osmosis machine as it's important to get the best water possible as we are made of water, but until I can what do you think of the filters? I can tell a huge difference in the taste and it's all I will drink now for my water supply. I know the charcoal filter is pretty great, but how great...
Regarding the first minute and a half of this video, you should really go back and relearn your high school chemistry. If you knew your chemistry, you would know that these machines also have their own problems and can cause you problems in the long run. Stop advising people on shit you know nothing about.
What problems do these machines have? I'm interested to know as from what I've read, they also remove good minerals but many machines have a 5-6 stage which add back in the required minerals
Jack Gains
number one issue -> Gotta replace filters.. If filtered water is held in plastic holders, if you don't drink it fast. It will pick up some plastic too, depending on the kind of plastic. More pro's than cons, Financially the biggest con.
this is sad. can't afford to buy bottle water everyday.
You can buy 5L bottles of water for under £2 (Under $2.50) so really that is not a lot a week
Holy shit, they rip you off good over there o.o 8L water bottle = 0.78€ in Spain.
I'm in New Zealand and idk how much it cost here. since I heard its expensive and never buy one before.
+ZKWMSnowball its €1 for that here in Ireland aha
+ZKWMSnowball must assume you're responding to madmike as he's the only one to have given an actual number, which was 5L for £2. So not sure why you think that's a rip off compared to 0.08L for 0.78€ in Spain, which by ratio is much more expensive (and so is 0.8L if that's is what you meant).
+Genes Eh and what the heck are you talking about? you don't know how much water costs because it's so expensive? Have you never been to... geez what are those places called... um.. oh yea, a STORE? Or were you from New Zealand Mars, not Earth? Or maybe just a troll (Or you're 6. In that case get off the youtube chats and get outside)
This guy should teach classes or hold seminars cause his passion is very motivational.
"There is no sensitivity without contrast... " Now that is a universal truth that holds true no matter what we are talking about. Good video. 👍👍👍
your real af , subbed. great vids
The thing that sucks about reverse osmosis machines is they remove 85-98% of other healthy, helpful nutrients that are found in natural drinking water. That is why some bottled water companies who filter using reverse osmosis add "minerals" to their water.
Natural water does not have any vitamin B,C or niacin or sodium in it. They add vitamins because it helps your body hydrate, not because some kind of "vitamins" that don't exist in water in the first place are lost in reverse osmosis. You have no clue what you are talking about, sit down kid.
LulzRoyce Natural water obviously doesn't have vitamin B or other vitamins, but it does have sodium, calcium, and other minerals! I think you are confused with pure natural water coming from nature and distilled water. Water that doesn't have minerals in it, such as calcium or sodium will flush out everything from your body which is also not good. Bottle companies just take that concept way too far, and start adding vitamin that shouldn't be in the water such as Vitamin B etc... since they are found in protein and stuff, there is no place for them to have that. Natural Spring water or lake water has calcium and sodium. But if your osmosis machine takes away a lot of minerals (there is a difference between minerals and vitamins by the way) then you can add it yourself, extremely small amount that can, barely be measured. P.S never drink distilled water, it will flush all the nutrients out of your body, and will not be absorbed.
LulzRoyce
Actually Benjamin is right. I do Drinking water Treatment for a living (State of Florida Class A), a true R.O process (don't believe those under the sink versions are real R.O....it takes an operating PSI of close to 200 to force the water through Acetate Membranes)....a true RO produces Just pure H2O, it is highly acidic at around a pH of 3..Minerals (Ca,Mg.) have to be added back to buffer the water back to a neutral pH of around 7.5
Darin Whitehead dr lawrence wilson believes that high pressure and plastic membrane damages the water and causes it to be too yin....I'm sure viktor schauberger (vortex water) would agree with most of it...see my comment for the direct quote
I don't know about the H2O being too "yin" as such but the end result (if the system is working properly) is just hydrogen and oxygen at that point , flat and tasteless , this end result is blended with raw water that still contains minerals to produce a finished product that is lower in minerals and hardness and yet is still lower than their raw water source
look... water is water
just saying... but imagine an apocalypse scenario with eliot and he standing right there in front of you saying, "nah we aint gonna bring these shity bottle water for the camp, it tastes like plastic and it has way too many chemicals, besides my body just cant stand it" like WTF it´s just water!
just how you broke this down goes to show how awesome you are as an athlete coach and mentor.

It depends on the country. Some countries fluoride on water, with the intention of stopping cavities on the teeth and people takes an issue on that because they fear its toxic. The amount of fluoride added is so low that is harmless, but like you say, the researches founded by bottle water companies are a business pushing people to drink bottled water, witch normally comes from same water sources than the tap water.
As I started saying, it depends on the country. I'm originally from Spain, where the water comes with fluoride, and I had never experienced any type of health problems water related. 3 years ago I moved to Finland, where the tap water does not contain fluoride, and after 3 years of fluoride free water I feel no difference at all. I rarely drink bottled water, only when I have to because there is no other water source nearby.
Water is not an element. It's a compound, dude.
Elements in the original sense of the word: Earth, Water, Fire, and Air.

this guy just made a video about water.
pspabp yes.... and it was beautiful....
yea ill tell ya it was the best video about water i've see
I don't drink tap water, Like Elliot it's not because of science. My decision is because when I clean my shower, or toilet it doesn't take long for them to have all these mineral build ups after. So, I prefer bottled water. If I had more money I'd get better water, but I do what I can. Common sense goes a long way.
I've been drinking reverse osmosis water. He's right, if you're conditioned to it. You can taste it in plastic and impurities from the tap, when I use water fountains I drink sparingly. Just tastes wrong to me, metallic, chemicals, and whatever else. water should be sweet.
