LUDACRIS DRINKS UNFILTERED WATER FROM ALASKAN GLACIER. IS THAT SAFE?

“Half of the world’s glaciers are here in Alaska. I couldn’t come here and just have a show. You know I got a bucket list—or as I like to call it the [expletive] it list.

After taking a swig of the water, he exclaimed: “Oh my God.” The rapper had high praise for the water. “Water So Good It Tastes Like GOD Made It,” the clip’s caption read. “Well, Because He Did.”

Can you drink glacial water? You should avoid it. As USA Today notes, it can make you “extremely sick” because of its microorganisms. I.e. bacteria, parasites, and viruses.

There has never been a more crucial time for celebrities to use their platform to draw awareness to glaciers and the climate crisis that threatens them and all of humanity.
