Cancer Causing Forever Chemicals in Rainwater

[Anonymous No.14737064]

Why do anti-science conservatives and even some new agers always assume that natural=better? This is a complete logical fallacy, since there are many "natural" things that are dangerous (e.g. mercury or arsenic).

Experts have recently discovered that rain water (much like garden soil) is highly toxic, and that it contains high levels of cancer causing forever chemicals. Nevertheless, anti-science types who are obsessed with doing things "naturally" often rely on rain water for things like gardening, or even drinking water and bathing. This is especially common amongst organic farmers, homesteaders, and people who are supposedly living "sustainably" or "off the grid". Unfortunately, we are now learning that collecting and consuming water in this manner can cause cancer, and can even be deadly, because of all of the forever chemicals in the rain water.

That being said, why do people always assume that natural=better? Also, scientifically speaking what is the safest and best water to drink? Obviously stuff like well water, spring water, or rain water is off the table, since water from any of those sources is likely to have extremely high levels of environmental pollutants. I guess the really question is, what's better municipal tap water, or bottled and filtered water?

If you are conservative you are probably retarded and should be summarily executed.

People assume natural=good like brainlets because they sense that artificially produced commodities are the product of an economic system that in no way prioritizes or even takes into account human welfare. They don't understand why this is the case usually, as it's more of a commonly shared intuition.

There is no clean water source. The best way is to get a really good filter.
Filtered water sold in plastic bottles is like buying a — I’m too lazy to make a comparison, but having it in hot plastic for hundreds/thousands of truck miles negates whatever filtering they did.

Considering those forever chemicals are artificial, I don't see how them causing cancer disproves the "natural is better" hypothesis. If anything it just shows that it is necessary to take vengeance on anyone claiming otherwise for the violence they have done to the world, such that even the rain is tainted by their filth.

How is rainwater containing man-made chemicals natural?

It may have less to do with science and more to do with rain water being free?

Distilled water. Same as rain water but without the environmental pollutants that China corporations have released into the air.

If you and your owners are tortured and publicly lynched, our children won't have to suffer from toxic water and toxic soil. Your opinion shouldn't be tolerated anywhere on the planet. Expressing it should condemn you to torture and execution without any further questions.

Natural would be better in a lot of instances if we didn't have run-off and cancer-causing chemicals introduced to the environment from those same conservatives in the first place.

Because they aren’t informed. You’re better off investing in a good water filter instead of relying on rain water. You can make your life more homestead sure, but going completely off the grid will come to bite most people later on when they don’t have unlimited funds to make it work.
Ultimately my response to this new piece of bad news is the same as the rest: I can’t do shit about it, especially compared to billionaires and politicians that can enact change of some kind. If it’s truly as bad as they say it is we’ll be dead in 70 years regardless

Maybe because they've measured specifically known chemicals from important sources of water rather than repeating supernatural predictions that a few fringe jews were making up 2000 yearsago?
