'Poisonous' Muslim Holy Water on Sale in London 
- Zam Zam with arsenic and other cancer-chemicals found in shops in south and 
east of capital 

Thursday, 5th May 2011
MUSLIM Holy water sold in London "is poisonous", according to health experts.
The sacred water, known as Zam Zam water, comes from a well in the  Muslim Holy 
city of Mecca, but researchers have found that it is full of  dangerous 
chemicals including arsenic.
Bottles of Zam Zam water are allowed to be brought to the UK for  personal use 
but, partly due to the health risks, they are not meant to  be sold 
commercially. 

However, an investigation by the BBC has discovered that shops in east and 
south 
London have been selling the liquid.
"The water is poisonous, particularly because of the high levels of  arsenic, 
which is a carcinogen and can cause cancer," said Dr Duncan  Campbell, of the 
Association of Public Analysts.
As well as arsenic, carcinogenic nitrates have also been found in the water. 
"The limits set in drinking water are set there for very good reason," added 
Campbell.
"Once the water gets above that limit, it's not safe."
Last year the Food Standards Agency advised that, "Muslims need to be  aware of 
the health risks associated with drinking this water". 

"If consumers find any water on sale that is labelled as Zam Zam,  they should 
contact the local authority enforcement office at their  local council so they 
can investigate further," added the FSA.
Unlimited fines and imprisonment are available to the authorities as 
punishments 
for shops that continue to sell Zam Zam water.
