Been drinking rain water straight from our tanks with no filters, for 13 years! None of us has ever had any problems.

It would be interesting to see how it compares to city water. I would bet the rainwater you capture and filter is of higher quality than what most people get out of the tap.

What about aluminium and barium?

Jess is absolutely correct: "if it is in the rain it is in the entire aquifer."

if rain is unsafe to drink, were doomed.💀🍻

I'd love to see a forever chemical test done. I'm wondering if it's true because now they're saying people who fish shouldn't eat the fish and people who hunt shouldn't eat the meat ... That would apply to EVERYTHING, not just wild caught. This feels more about CONTROL than it does actual science. They're literally saying you can't do anything freely and have to rely on the state for your safety and needs. I'm calling their bluff.

Dont worry about forever chemicals/plastics. Jess hit the nail on the head. If its as bad as they report it to be then its already contaminated everything. Rain water drains into rivers, ponds, etc where most municipalities get there drinking water from. After it rains wildlife and live stock will drink it and injest those chemicals, and then in turn pass it to humans when consumed. Gardens if they get rained on will do the same. Just keep filtering it to the best of your ability and dont let it stress you.

The biggest problem we have as human beings today is too much information. If you came to Africa and told people that rain water is not safe to drink, people will look at you weird like where have you come from? People have drunk river water, ground spring water, well water, pond water and in most parts people have lived all their lives without any problems. Rain water is considered here to be among the cleanest water one could get so other than a bit of chlorine in the storage tank, nothing else is done to the water and even chlorine is only for the affluent few. The rest drink it direct without any filter or treatment. When I see the amount of processing water goes through in the first world for it to be called safe drinking water, I am amazed. I have drunk spring water for many years and only bought a simple filter recently. Never had any waterborne disease in my 55 years neither has anyone in my community and they don't even have filters they drink the water direct from wells that are never treated.

Problem with "follow the science", are people are in charge of the outcome. Making science flawed. Saying rainfall is bad for you is following a political narrative. This is to make dependency to our governments more palatable for the common people. I really want to thank you for this information. Hopefully more people need to look what is going on in our world, instead of listening to government institutions who are flawed and corrupt.

Nitrates are a product of lightning through the nitrogen in the atmosphere. Great for your plants.

Thanks for the video, I am 58 years living in Australia, I have been drinking unfiltered frog pee all my life. Still alive :)

This is FANTASTIC information. As a rainwater harvester this is very important to me. Thank u folks

Rain is nature's distilled water.

Felicitations! We live in Southern Italy and are harvesting rain water, too. Here in Europe we have to find a laboratory to do the bacterial test, There are no testing kits available here.

Your channel I really enjoy. You don’t promote fear, stress, and panic like most off grid channels.

As someone who works in water and wastewater treatment, what she said at the end about the forever chemicals being in other water sources is true.

Big Berkey filter is what I have used for 10 years for filtering of rain water. I never had concern. My Grandad's farm, south of Lubbock TX, collected rainwater as it ran off the roof. The farm was founded in 1905. He and most of his children lived to be 90 years old. In fact he came to Texas in a covered wagon in 1886 then passed during the 1960 Gemini Space program. The last 10 years of his life he lived in the city drinking their water. Maybe this is what did him in! Thank you for the video.

35 years ago I talked to a chemist who worked at a water treatment plant in a major Midwest city. All water plants operate the same way. There are actually 3 full time chemists at every plant. Their job is to check water quality and safety once every hour, 24-7, 365. He told me:" YOU COULDN'T PAY ME TO DRINK THAT WATER BECAUSE OF THE CHEMICALS THEY PUT IN IT TO MAKE IT SAFE TO DRINK"! Now read that several more times and let it all sink in.

Glad to hear about this I always thought it was OK because it rains it rains it waters the plants that you grow for food I don't see any problem with it

That will clear up a lot of questions no doubt. Thanks for showing us the test. Stay safe and have a great weekend!
