We are drinking perscription drugs in our water

Zendell,

What's up with your laughable conspiracy theories?

None of what you typed there is true.

NONE.

I like what TheOnion.com had to say about it:

Not sure about the prozac thing, but Hitler did use it in the water in his concentration camps to stupefy the Jews... he was the first to fluoridate water. That part is true.

Eh?

That's not in any of my history books or any reputable biography of Hitler that I've read...

fluorine - puts the 'flu' in fluoxetine

(prozacs trade name)

Beau - read more then. It's not exactly a big secret or anything...

A legitimate source would be a start. I have never heard of that either and I think it would be better known than the few kook sites it shows up on a search. Original legitimate source.

Water, water, everywhere topic

Water from any source needs to be tested regularly for contaminants. In Canada, water testing mistakes were an issue a few yers ago, in a town called Walkerton, Ontario. Because of deaths related to bacterial contamination, and because of incompetence that revealled inconsistencies in reporting problems, new legislation was passed and implememnted so such a tragic disaster would not reoccur.

Perhaps community action in your area can result in improvements in the water quality. Good luck. It sounds as if people are drinking pure liquid poison where you live.

Yeah, but if you need a bottle to put your water in, it's cheaper to buy one that comes with water in it than it is to buy a plastic bottle buy itself. It's a difference of like $1 vs $10. Either way, the bottle gets irreversibly gross after a while and you have to buy a new one.

My refillable water bottle is made of aluminum and is 100% recyclable. It has endured YEARS of abuse and use and is still not gross or disgusting in any way.It cost $16.00. Theres usually ALWAYS an alternative to putting more waste on the planet. Don't mean to lecture, but I feel I would be remiss in my duties as a "tree-hugger" if I did't interject w/ that.
I use a PUR water filter but that's probably not keeping the unwanted drugs out of my water, I don't know

You know how aluminium leeches into food/water...??

There's a good filter in my office, so I have a few glass bottles that I just fill up from there and use that. I fill a couple at the end of the day and use them for drinking water after work/in the evenings, and for cooking with. It's a good system for me - I can't afford a good filter for my house as I'm only renting, and I figure someone needs to take advantage of it being there...

Which makes no sense to me at all. Europe has 1000 more years of pollution that north america!

No, I don't know how much alum leechs into water, but I'm feeling it must be a significant amount for you to have said that.
Glass sounds good but I can't take that on the bike. (anything could happen if I went down) but that's a good idea. And I am also glad someone is getting some use out of the filter.
Maybe I should just give up, and go get some glacier runoff water that's about 40 miles away, or maybe just snowmelt out of the Chugach Mts. (good waterfalls about 10 miles away) It's proably allready polluted too!
Depresses me to think about it.

I should drink more water, than. I could get high.

How (humourously) dry you are! topic

I got a question. I went to the store and looked at bottled water. They have 3 types:
1. spring water - from a natural spring
2. distilled water
3. drinking water (label states it's tap water filtered with reverse osmosis)

For the drinking water, I think they buy a reverse-osmosis filter, use it to filter some tap water, and then put it in a bottle. Wouldn't that be the same thing (except more expensive) as filtering your own water?

Do you think it's better to buy spring water or reverse-osmosis filtered tap water?
