@JawHun

Birth control is 100% safe. There are plenty of studies and a huge sample size to back this up. The "scary chemicals" argument doesn't really go anywhere.

Levels of estrogen in drinking water aren't high enough to produce a measurable effect on humans, or we would have found one. It isn't like all of the health agencies are ignoring this and only people reading this thread have the true knowledge.

Hahaha I heart you for this.

Seriously though, I'm surprised that America allows the use of nonylphenols when Europe doesn't. From what I've seen when it comes to medicines and other manufactured drugs, America is a lot more restrictive.

This means you just have to get more testosteron to compensate. Hit the gym everyone

I think it could be much worse.... like the water having too much Testosterone. Imagine if all women in the US turned butch. If that happens, I'm going back to Korea.

Sorry to disappoint you, but we have been aware of this for years. I have little to no knowledge in the field and am not an avid reader of newspapers or sth. but I have been aware of the fact that estrogen can (so far) not be cleaned out of the water supply for years. Maybe you just didn't get the memo ?

The "I don't know of it so it can't exist" argument seems pretty weak to me.

Herp derp, intelligent discussions on TL arent anything you can expect anymore, nothing but endless vomiting of south park jokes and people telling you to NOT DRINK FISH-WATER, not even knowing the first thing, yet still commenting. At first I thought that other thread about people not reading threads was overreacting, I was wrong.

He was actually right about fluoridation of water surprising. Look it up, fluoride replaces the calcium in your bones and can cause cavities if you are exposed to to much.
I always try to give a sensitive, reasoned answer. This is usually awkward, time consuming and pointless.

I'm aware that Water Fluoridation was very controversial when it was first introduced, e.g.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_fluoridation

Though water fluoridation is very effective in reducing cavities and has no known and established health consequences.

Too much can be bad for you? Really?

To quote a rant from a British comic sketch show "Well of course too much is bad for you, too much of anything is bad for you you blithering twat. That's what too much means! Too much water would be bad for you! Obviously, too much is precisely that quantity which is excessive! That's what it means! Jesus!".

Well hopefully after plaque enamel inhibiting toothpaste comes out in the next five years will stop seeing it in water, and soda. It's one thing to have it in tooth paste it is another to swallow it.

the no know consequences part is only for a pea-sized amount or like 1-2.0ppm which is generally the amount found in a cup of water
