Typically when I hear about sex hormones and drugs I think of people that like to party and do crazy stuff.

Well, a recent investigative study on the quality of drinking water found the unexpected. In San Francisco, CA a sex hormone was found in treated water supply. “Treated water”, for those scoring at home, just means the water that comes straight into your home. The water you drink and bath in.

In other words, it has gone through the public purification process and in theory — should be filtered free of contaminants. This is often not the case though. Sadly, the purification process just doesn’t work as well as people would like to think and contaminated drinking water exists — like it or not.

In the same investigative study, there were numerous cities and locales that had pharmaceuticals and drugs in the public drinking system. It’s scary to think how far we will go to protect our health and yet the item we consume the most could be unsafe.

To compound the problem, the federal government doesn’t require testing for drugs in the tap water nor doesn’t it set limits. So we need to protect ourselves as there is someone doing it for us.

The best way I know of protecting yourself is with a home drinking water filter also referred to as a home water purifier. These devices filter the water from your home faucets before you start drinking. They ensure you have safe and healthy drinking water.

So if being drug free is important to you and your family, do a little research today!
