That is seriously disturbing. We drink only bottled water around my house, but now I’m concerned. I think I’ll have to start checking water filter prices…

it seems, as is becoming more and more prevalent, that we as individuals, consumers, community are required to be even more accountable for our own health by becoming our own ” scientists”.
The positive spin on this is that as awareness grows the masses will be more inclined to act by being far more conscious of water at their own home which hopefully will spark more actions on self sufficiency. Then hopefully over time the decline in fresh food purchases at supermarkets will decline until the big players respond.
Maybe an ideal scenario but momentum is building. Water health will obviously be key in this.
Thanks for your huge contribution to our awareness.

Thank you for being on top of the drugs-in-tap water issue.
It is surprising we aren’t all drug addicts by now (said partly in jest), considering that:
(1) millions of people take prescription or over-the-counter or illegal drugs and …
(2) potentially everyone could ingest drugs taken by other people when their drug-tainted waste enters the sewage system and comes out as tap water for public consumption and …
(3) potentially everyone could ingest drugs from the waste of wildlife who drink drug-tainted water and then excrete it in places where it could filter into rivers and streams and thus into our tap water systems and …
(4) potentially everyone could ingest drugs from the waste of livestock who are given all kinds of drugs and then extrete those drugs in places where they could filter into rivers and streams and thus into our tap water systems and …
(5) what few of us recognize, millions of people the flesh of livestock who are fed tons of drugs to make them grow faster, bulk up, and produce more milk and eggs.
So even if all the proposed solutions for preventing drugs in tapwater are adopted and enforced, drugs still enter the human system via the flesh, dairy and eggs people eat.
Not incidentally, these fat-cat, deceptive animal-exploiting industries do NOT want us to know that. (I realize that’s why you, Diane, promote organic meat, dairy and egg products, but even organically raised animals are not treated humanely — that is, as we humans would want to be treated — at some point in their quick trip from birth to death.)
Here’s a good editorial on the drugs-in-water subject: http://www.csmonitor.com/2008/0311/p08s01-comv.htm
