The Drug Store in Your Tap Water
http://www.opednews.com/articles/The-Drug-Store-in-Your-Tap-by-Martha-Rosenberg-110127-97.html

You don't have to eat cattle who have worn trenbolone ear implants to end up with the growth stimulating androgenic hormone in your body reported the Associated Press in 2008.

Water taken near a Nebraska feedlot had four times the trenbolone levels as other water samples and male fathead minnows nearby had low testosterone levels and small heads.

Nor do you have to see a doctor to imbibe a witch's brew of prescriptions like pain pills, antibiotics and psychiatric, cholesterol, asthma, epilepsy and heart meds in your drinking water, says the AP. Free of charge.

Other "biosolids" found in drinking water include anti-fungal drugs and the toxic plastic, Bisphenol A, from some bottled waters which people ironically drink to avoid tap water.

1. If you eat it or drink it, you also excrete it. It's the cycle of life.
Don't want drugs in the water? Quit taking them, and encourage your friends and neighbors to do likewise.

2. Or....
...move to a rural area, far from Agri/cattle business where your drinking water comes from a deep spring.

3. That's not a choice everyone can make. And, if you continue to medicate yourself...
... you are merely passing your prescriptions to the next person downstream.
