I found this interesting report over at WND. Birth control pills are harming the enviorment and officials are wondering how much of the hormones in birth control pills are now making it back into our drinking supply. So far these hormones are harming fish in some intriguing ways and scientists are wondering just what it is doing to humans who are not taking birth control pills.
In case you think WND is a right wing, nut job, news blog, then you can read it here at Seattlepi.com. This article was written in 2003. It's obviously a continuing problem. Do a search and you'll find several other organizations that have reported on the topic. Not all of them are Christian.
Doctors, drug manufacturers, and certain interest groups don't want us to know about this. Women that do know aren't about to quit taking them because then they would have to change their lifestyle.
Has anyone else heard anything about this and have any ideas on what drinking water is safe for us, or is that pretty much a lost cause now all things considered?

That just isn't right.
Yet another reason to go organic... But does filtering your water (again) even make a difference? Can you get something like hormones out of your drinking supply? Does this mean that spring water is contaminated as well?
I hope someone has some answers for us! As a mom of three BOYS, I want them to stay that way... I *need* to know.
Okay, I'm really not freaking out about this but it does need to be looked into.
