    talk about bacteria in the drinking water, but what about elements such as lead and mercury. They can't be boiled out of the water, But are piling up and damage the central nervous system, and still people pour gas and other chemicals in drinking water..

      meaning?
      lead is a problem.. it's not a bacteria....bacterias can be cleansed with boiling...elements don't break down.. they build..
