Aluminum in Mt. Shasta water on 12/03/2010 20:10:33 MST Print View

Anybody plan on going to mount shasta anytime soon? This is a bit disturbing about the water you may be drinking up there http://www.youtube.com/user/TheCozmikTruth#p/u/25/w94Yqd8E0vU
The 10 minute mark mentions Shasta's metal water.

That is just another report by garden-variety conspiracy theorists.

It's all part of getting back to nature. I really don't want to know what an alarmist would say about all of the water that I was drinking in YNP or from those lovely flowing wells along the Maah Daah Hey Trail!

This kind of stuff belongs on the conspiracy forums.
It is not as fun for most backpackers.

Now if you want to talk about professional wrestling, that is dead on the correct subject:-)

Don't know about Shasta but I would not be surprised at there being trace minerals and metals in the ground water. The wells we have tested around mt Diablo(further south) have been high in Boron. Many stories of the original settlers dying of the symptoms of heavy metal poisoning from drinking the water continuously
