What about bottled water? A lot of brands start at the water tap too …

Besides being told upteem times about toxins gathering around the environment, recently we are being informed that pharmaceutical drugs have been found polluting our drinking water too.

Apparently they get deposited into our drinking water in two ways:

  • drugs.jpg excretion- drugs that you take, or drugs given to livestock, some of the active components that are not absorbed in the body are deposited into sewage treatment centers. Drug-ridden waste from livestock also ends up polluting water in the soil, rivers, streams and lastly drinking water.
  • disposal - unused or outdated medications being flushed down the toilets or disposed as trash by people, pharmaceutical companies and hospitals which ultimately ends in the environment.

Incase, you have missed this breaking news about drinking water being polluted by the Associated Press investigations, just click on the arrow now to play the video…

I must say, nothing surprises me these days as I believe this is an age old issue, otherwise why are these water filtering devices and systems have been in business for so long?
