The over prescription of drugs is not only ridiculous but dumb. We as citizens give these drug companies our economy and we are rewarded with trace elements of drugs in our drinking water. caffeine, sulfamethoxazole, diltiazem, acetaminophen, trimethoprim, cotinine and paraxanthine, gemfibrozil, ibuprofen, sulfamethaxazole and ethinyl estradiol, azithromycin, erythromycin, roxithromycin, tylosin, ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin and caffeine. These are a few of the drugs found in water of 24 states(AP 2008), these states include California, Texas(Arlington not Houston or Lubbock :)), New York, New Jersey, Colorado. Matter of a fact, I will just let you see the visual representation brought to you by the good people of Turner Broadcasting.
For all the lucky winners of the pharmaceutical lottery in Arlington, have no rights to find out what is in their water. Silly citizens, thinking you have rights hahahahahahahah.
Arlington Mayor Robert Cluck said he would not name the lone pharmaceutical chemical found in the city’s drinking water....Cluck declined to reveal the name of the drug found after water was treated or the five drugs found in pretreatment for security reasons. He said he did not want to reveal what drugs were or were not being effectively eliminated from Arlington’s drinking water. Dallas Morning News
Its a good thing that the EPA requires testing to protect us. Oh they don't? O well thank god for beer. Maybe the alcohol will destroy the some of the side effects.
