That's ok. The EPA and the drug companies said trace amounts are harmless.
Yeah..right. What about trace amounts in a continued dosage (drinking water) over many years.

So now the EPA goes on my list.

FDA doesn't inspect food at the ports
USDA doesn't inspect our meat
FAA doesn't inspect the planes
EPA says drugs are ok in water

OMG..the government is out to kill us

Nah, you're not seeing the big picture here. Actually, this is the first phase of national health care, they are experementing with widespread delivery systems. This way, all drugs are dispensed to everyone, eliminating the need for prescriptions.

Pretty clever, now folks will have to abandon bottled water if they need to take prescription drugs. They just need to drink 64 ozs of tap water per day.

LOL

I posted this info on the health forum yesterday... wonder how much this has to do with fertility problems, who seem to be on the rise, breast and other cancers. Etc. Even if we only get a tiny amount of these drugs, does anyone know the effects over 10 years, 20 years...?

I noticed the highest levels were from sedatives and tranquilizers. That in itself should say something about us as a people.

Now, where did I put my copy of Brave New World? Soma anyone?
