Re:More misleading 'news' about 'drugs' (Score 1)

Minute traces of heroin in my water - I'm not worried. Minute traces of dioxin in my water - I'm very worried. What is the chemical, what is it's effect, what is it's in conjunction with effect with other chemicals - many of these questions do not yet have an answer especially when chemicals are considered in combination. As far as contamination of our water supplies goes, I'm more concerned about the hormonal effects on animals (including humans) than traces of medicines - and as for general bottled water (unless for portability, or carbonation) give me good quality tap water. The rubbish you read filtered by ice/volcanoes, purified n zillion times etc, etc - if you want pure water drink distilled water - it cheap and available from a pharmacist near you - unfortunately it does not taste of anything but water. You want carbonation - get a soda siphon! There are some unu8sual waters out there (generally with a high mineral content) that I could say could be sold on taste but the majority seem to be "pure" and in taste tests "Tap" water in London is always in the top three. Marketing - the curse of our generation
