why you feel so funky
(AP) -- 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, an Associated Press investigation shows.
To be sure, the concentrations of these pharmaceuticals are tiny, far below the levels of a medical dose. Also, utilities insist their water is safe.
But the presence of so many prescription drugs -- and over-the-counter medicines like acetaminophen and ibuprofen -- in so much of our drinking water is heightening worries among scientists of long-term consequences to human health.
Eew.

We're fighting to have the flouride loving government not poision us - drinking chemicals sucks and more importantly isn't democratic. I can honestly say, no matter where I am I never trust the water - shouldn't that be something in this developed world that we don't need to even think about?
Sure gives you more to complain about than ppl smoking,drinking coffee or having a beer ,how you going to ban ppl from drinking water for there own good?In our society there is always somebody complaining about this or that,and normally what they don't like or cann't stand they try and destroy.We all need water to fuction.On the other side guess everybody is medicated now.
