FDA slams “Real Water” linked to liver failure; water plant manager MIA

The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday admonished Nevada-based company Real Water for being uncooperative in a multi-state health investigation linked to its “alkalized” water products. The company is accused of poisoning its customers, causing acute liver failure and other serious health problems in adults, children, and pets.

On March 16, the FDA and the Southern Nevada Health District announced that they were investigating cases of acute non-viral hepatitis (resulting in acute liver failure) in five infants and children, all of whom consumed the company’s alkaline water. The water was the only common link between the five children and infants. Since then, customers have filed several lawsuits making similar claims, including three Californian women who filed a federal lawsuit in Nevada March 22 seeking class-action status.

    If Jews can't poison the wells, they'll just poison the water they sell you. Also the vaccines they sell you. Looks like poisoning Goyim is back on the menu since the Epstein Weinstein cash flow is cut off. You know, since Jews hate America and are accepting Chinese money to weaken America. Ask MIT and the Jew-run Ivy League if you don't believe me. Well maybe they can harvest some more organs from all those young folk they're bringing across the border.

    This antisemitism is getting boring, here's the owner of Real Water, a Scientologist:

    Before Henderson-based Real Water made national news as the subject of an FDA investigation and several lawsuits alleging health concerns, the company’s president made headlines during a brief career in Nevada politics.

    Brent A. Jones, CEO of Real Water parent company Affinity Lifestyles, previously served a single term in the Nevada Assembly from 2015-16 before losing his bid for re-election and failing to advance out of the Republican primary for lieutenant governor in 2018.
    ...
    In 2016, Jones was accused of forcing a former Real Water employee to watch videos based on the Church of Scientology as part of her employment. Jones, a Scientologist, denied the allegation, and the lawsuit was moved to arbitration. The result was unclear.

          Oh please! You're nuts! The singular goal of all these insane cults is domination, well the cults aren't insane, the followers are, but the goal of the leaders remains the same, to rule the world, like Pinky and the Brain.

        Yes, some of them proselytize a lot more than others. Never had a Jew or Lutheran come to my door with brochures in hand...

            Booop, sorry, wrong answer. I'm the AC that mentioned "proselytize". I'm also the AC post-theological that occasionally posts like this one:

            ... When I first heard the term "post-theological" it clicked for me. Both my parents quit organized religion in their teens, and didn't promote any religion when I was a kid. For anyone interested, here's the first Google hit,

              I just answer atheist. Agnostics are cowards hedging their bets “just in case.” Even Richard Dawkins is really an agnostic, not an atheist, because he says there’s a tiny possibility that god exists. Frigging poseur. Just in it for the attention and the money.

                When I'm feeling clever...and talking with a monotheist, I sometimes use a line I saw years ago on the other green site, "I just believe in one less god than you do."

    Damn you to hell, Ethanol_addled! May you never work again! I prophesai that you will not end well! All your hatred will turn on you, and eat your liver from inside, like Mormon alkalai water and colodial silver and Noni juice, and cold fusion, and all the other scams that these religious cults pass off on the goyim. And you will pass inconveniently through the anus of Satan, or at least his Nike sneakers, and spend eternity shadow-banned from the Heaven that is SoylentNews!

    Aye. And stupid Goyim doeant know that you can get alkaline water just by using reverae oasmosis filter. Sure it'w not ph10, but you should not be fucking around with that.
