U.S. Drinking Water Widely Contaminated

[JelloShotGirl 0]

We can now measure different chemicals and all in the water in parts per trillion. It used to be parts per billion. If you look hard enough, of course you are going to "find something" in the water................ my favorite is the fish on prozac...................LOL. the best type of water to drink would be reverse osmosis water ............................so I've heard.........................

That's why I only drink beer. Water is bad for your health.

Which is made from water and cheap beer is probably made from water straight out the tap. Making it into beer doesn't somehow remove the chemical contaminants, although I sure it makes you feel better about drinking them.

I guess he thinks the alcohol will neutralise the other chemicals.

Brewers use the best water available because to do otherwise is bad for sales. They actually have a horse in the race. Whereas government does not. You have to put up with their sh*tty services whether you like it or not. As if there is competition at your faucet. Get real!

Depends what you drink I guess - but I wouldn't put money on your domestic ######.

This thread has potential for the makings of an excellent quality beer commercial.

The article didn't explain the basics on what constitutes a dangerous dosage. Trace elements are found but not enough to do damage.

Buying bottled water is usually a waste of money and is more expensive than gasoline. Amazing how tap water was good enough for generations until it became chic to drink overpriced bottled water with slick marketing.

Check for man-boobs Dave. That's an indication there's too many girl-hormones in your water.

The government is to blame. They are trying to poison us, then make us have "their" healthcare.

I know its a joke... but picture earlier administrations dumping chemicals into the water 'cause the data goes back a way.

That's just a side benefit.

At least I'll save enough money for breast reductions later by not buying bottled water from New Jersey called the Ponce De Leon's Elixir.

Things being bad for you posts and news is getting so old and boring, if you actually listened to all these so called studies you could:

Not drink water because it has nasty things in it

Not eat food because food causes, cancer, obesity, diabetes, teeth to rot, etc etc

Not go out in the Sun, cancer

Not stay in house, radon and cancer

Not have sex, Aids and other STD's

Not go on a plane, OMG germs germs germs

Not talk on cell phone, brain cancer

The list goes on forever

And on top of all this, dont breath or fart or you will add to the global warming problem which will cause an iceberg to break off float up and either crush you or drown you when it melts.

Yes, don't worry about anything, nothing new here. Water isn't contaminated to any level that requires worrying about at all, bloody liberal hippies, all they want to do is take away my guns and SUV's so they can smoke dope! As if...
