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.

    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,

    In grade school (in a highly Catholic area) I was often asked, "atheist or agnostic" and I had no clue how to answer...

      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."
