oestrogen in tap water

Is there really a high level in the UK water system from the pill. I drink **** loads of water like 6 pints a day or more. I was wondering what sort of impact this can have and how to avoid it. I have heard FILTERED tap water and bottled water. However these are expensive solutions

Do you have an unhealthy interest in shoes?

If you're concerned, counter-act the effects with some BK FLAME, the scent of a Real Man.

Actual real scientific studies have shown increases in testosterone directly proportional to volume of Flame dispensed. Don't juist take my word for it, be a Man and do it.

Did you feel their was any difference between them, acoustically?

Seriously though, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Troll feeding time is it?

Actually, I can't feed the troll, I have a sudden urge to go for a pedicure and watch Sex in the City...

Eh? They don't put Hormones in drinking water !! 6 pints of water is probably too much mind. Try Beer instead.

This isn't a kwerk thread? :confused:

"They" don't, but a few million women peeing out what's left of their contraceptive pill does apparently add significantly to the levels in our water; which isn't filtered out (can't be filtered out?) during processing. It's affecting the marine life too iirc. I'm going to go and read up on it again.

the drugs you take about 10% gets used by the body the rest (90%) gets peed out into the sewers which then get recycled/cleaned then put back into drinking water, but they cant get rid of all the drugs in the water when trying to clean it.

Finally someone who has a clue. I am looking at a reverse osmosis purification filter system for my tap water lol

Rule Number 14. Do not argue with trolls — it means that they win.

quite alarming, but surely the solution is for men to drink beer instead

Apparently the conspiracy theory is *dons foil hat* is that the pharmaceutical companies are loving this.

People are naturally pumping female hormone into the drinking water. While the latter develop and rake millions from impotency pills.
