Okay, I know it's bad that people use pseudoscience to sell stuff, but this totally cracked me up. Hee!!

I just got some local Kazakhstani water that has silver added to it. It tastes like crap, but I drank all 5 liters of it b/c they were out of my normal brand. Is this stuff OK? It says it has it has 'no more than .05 mg/dm3' of silver. I'm all worried about my 'membranes' now.

I don't think silver is thought of as a contaminant (someone please correct me if I'm wrong!). While some forms of certain transition metals like chromium and copper are known to be carcinogenic, I've never seen silver among them. A short web search led me to http://gcisolutions.com/bifsum.htm which lists silver under non-carcinogenic metals.

You have nothing to worry about. After all, we wear silver jewelry all the time--even in fresh piercings.

In any case, I'm sure silver's effects on the body are nothing compared to the phenomenal enhanced infiltration of PENTA water!!!

Okay. I'm getting scared. People are buying this shit like crazy. I'd like to do my (very) small part to counter the Penta Water craziness.

Here are a couple of sites debunking this ludicrous faux-science exploitative money-grubbing product.

James Randi and his Million Dollar Challenge saga; quite funny.

A page about all of the pseudo-science surrounding water.

I'll post more as I find them.

I also just posted something at this fitness forum in my campaign against Penta:
