Cadmium Plated
The Danger Of Cadmium In Drinking Water
Cadmium is a metal with an atomic weight of 112.41. It is near silver, mercury, and gold on the Periodic Chart of the Elements. Its malleability is similar to lead and this and other qualities makes it both harmful and useful.
Over 10 million pounds of cadmium are used in industry every year in the United States. Cadmium is in several metal alloys such as solder, especially that used to solder aluminum. Electroplating, nickel plating, engraving, and especially nickel-cadmium batteries are additional common uses for cadmium.
Though popular in industry, cadmium can be very toxic, and serious consequences can result if it is swallowed or inhaled. Only 10 milligrams ingested can initiate symptoms of poisoning. Cadmium and other heavy metals are the focus of many studies about the disturbing rise of Alzheimer's and other brain disorders.
The symptoms of cadmium poisoning may include increased salivation or the opposite as a dry throat, choking, abdominal pain, headache, vomiting, chest pain, anemia, and painful spasms of the anal sphincter. "When cadmium dust or powder is inhaled, the first symptoms are a sweet or metallic taste, followed by throat irritation".
Low dose long term exposure to cadmium may cause a cough, a loss in the sense of smell, weight loss, shortness of breath, and tooth staining. Excessive exposure to cadmium may cause damage to the liver and kidneys.
This is the bad news. The good news is that it is possible to be rid of the danger of cadmium in our drinking and cooking water. Water filters containing activated charcoal are able to remove at least 95% of the heavy metals like cadmium from drinking water. They do this through adsorption. In this process, toxins cling to the surface of the charcoal granules until they are either washed out or the filter is discarded.
Some may respond that they are not concerned about the presence of cadmium in their water source. If so, consider these points. First, wouldn't it be best to be sure your water is safe? Water travels very slowly through the ground and it is certainly possible that somewhere along the way, it was contaminated with heavy metals. Second, charcoal filters remove a lot more than just heavy metals, as important as this is. The long list includes parasites, chlorine compounds, and hydrocarbons.
Years ago we could trust any water source as being safe. However, today with all the chemicals used in farming and manufacturing, it is certainly wise to go beyond the city water report, or the well water test, and filter your ingested water to guarantee it is safe. The consequences of having unsafe water are too serious to ignore.

The Berkey Water Filter is the best line of water filters we are aware of. Plus, their Black Berkeys filter mercury and other heavy metals and can be re-cleaned to purify up to 6,000 gallons of drinking water!
