If you live in a municipality and you may still be paying for water by the gallon so they make you pay some how
unless you have a hand pump in a mountain well or a deep well ur paying somehow electricity for the pump or something unless ur on a soar powered well pump.

Estrogen in the water isn't really surprising - like someone else mentioned, most bottled waters just come from municipal supplies with less strict regulation as well, and most municipal supplies are entirely polluted with all sorts of hormones and drug cocktails.

It used to be (may still be, not sure) recommended to dispose of your old drugs by flushing them down the toilet, and some drugs also aren't full metabolized by the body - local water treatment plants usually don't have anything close to the cleaning & filtration required to actually remove all this from the water, so we're more or less always dosing ourselves with a variety of things.

Been awhile since I looked into it, but it appears this is likely related to decrease in sperm counts/viability over the last few decades, as well as an increase in the number of births with sexual deformities (read: boys with girl parts, girls with boy parts, or a combination thereof).

If you're going to drink bottled water, best to look for spring water or the like of good quality. Then you only have to worry about what's in the ground water. Otherwise I'm very impressed with what I've heard about the filtration systems from British Berkefeld ('Berkey'). Apparently they'll clean pretty much everything out of your tap water, and have some filters that will even remove fluoride - pretty much nothing else removes fluoride, that I'm aware of. No electricity required.

They should be paying people to drink soda, it certainly shouldn't have a higher value than water
