Tap water - full of estrogen and anti-depressants?
Tap water is OK, although many will filter it too. It varies according to municipalities standards.
Bottled water in plastic has plastic micro-particles which leak into the liquid.
The longer the liquid has been in a plastic bottle, the more micro-particles it has.
The micro-particles mimic estrogen, thus confusing the body's natural chemistry, and affecting fertility.
That is why the male fertility rate is rapidly declining in the U.S.
Better to drink from glass, or other container, other than any plastic container.
Most beer, wine, and liquors are bottled in glass, although many are bottled in plastic to reduce weight in transport.
I never thought that drinking beer from a glass bottle would become a positive health issue,
but I am willing to try (!). For those of us who regularly drink beer, especially 'craft beer', we now have an excuse for why we have so many children,
and to think that we used to blame snow storms, Catholicism and 'the Irish'.
Just in time for St Patrick's Day, no less !!
I often wonder if the number of gay men we are now dealing with is a result of the amount of estrogen in the water supply.
On a personal note: I cannot stand the taste of tap water anymore. It leaves a metallic taste in my mouth for a long time after I drink it.
On the rare occasion I make a pot of pasta; as I stand by the sink filling a large pot with tap water, I can smell the chemicals in that water. I feel like I am cooking my pasta in water from a swimming pool. Yuck.
