socialpyramid discovered 5 months ago- From the page: "Antibiotics. Anticonvulsants. Antidepressants. Anti-inflammatories. Drink up. Eight glasses a day. Because that's what's in your tap water, according to an Associated Press investigation."

- Ok. This, despite what some believe, is not bullshit. Nor is it a crisis. Nor is it fucking news. Water analysts have seen traces of pharmaceuticals in the river system for years. This water gets reprocessed into drinking water downstream and is then consumed and pissed back into the river again. cycle repeats. This, my friends, is fact. I can give you names of people and agencies that told me about this shit five years ago. What, however, we do have on our hands, is a classic case of the Associated Press pressing their wieners up against the window trying to show off some sort of cutting edge journalism. This story is only big because it was a story broken by the AP. You know, the main feeder agency for all things news? Jeez... second scare-monger post in a row. It's going to be a long day.

- From the page:
Antibiotics. Anticonvulsants. Antidepressants. Anti-inflammatories. Drink up. Eight glasses a day. Because that's what's in your tap water, according to an Associated Press investigation. "A vast array of pharmaceuticals - including antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones - have been found in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans," the AP, report reads. "To be sure, the concentrations of these pharmaceuticals are tiny, measured in quantities of parts per billion or trillion, far below the levels of a medical dose. Also, utilities insist their water is safe." What does this cocktail of chemicals do to the human body, or to wildlife? Is it making male fish female? Is it making pregnant mothers produce more girls than boys? Is a lifetime of low-level exposure more damaging than a single massive dose? Those are open questions. - From the page:

- Small amounts of pharmaceuticals have shown up in our tap water. Yes, I think that the effects of this will only worsen. No, I will not vote for another tax increase or level of bureaucracy to fix this. We the consumers can fix this easily.

- I like to see these types of pages in a way, because they show how truly dangerous a little knowledge can be. Hormones and antibiotics and all in your water is bad, but when the concentrations are measured in ppt........well if you took every single person on earth as a part of water, the percentage of all of those people that would be contaminant would be less than 1/100 of one single person. If the same percentage of people had STDs it would be realistically impossible to contract one even if it was your life goal.

- Right now you and your family are drinking a cocktail of other people's prescription medications. And so is the wildlife.
Soon you'll probably pay a fee to the pharmaceutical corporations for your illegal consumption. - Right now you and your family are drinking a cocktail of other people's prescription medications. And so is the wildlife.
