What is there in our water? How about drugs? Here’s a story to get you thinking.

We’ve talked about some of the things that you find in our water. Heavy metals, chlorine, lead, pesticides, herbicides, and thousands of other chemicals. It’s enough to scare you.

In fact that’s the idea, we’re here to point these sorts of things out to you if you weren’t already aware of the sorts of toxins that may be in your water, and to suggest strongly that you may want to consider using a high quality water filter.


Here’s some more scary news. It drugs in water. Now this story doesn’t relate to drinking water in the US. However it shows you some of the potential problems you can find with your drinking water.

It’s a story about drugs in drinking water in India.

A river in India, (the Iska Vagu) is so contaminated with drugs that it smells. In one day there was enough of a particular antibiotic released into the river to treat 90000 people.

Tests showed 21 different pharmaceuticals in the water, including drugs to treat hypertension, liver diseases, heart disease, depression, ulcers and lots more.

And of course anyone who drinks that water, like the locals who use it for drinking water, are drinking this cocktail of drugs in their contaminated water supply. The drugs come from a Pharmaceutical factory upstream.

Imagine what drinking contaminated water like that would do to you?

Think it can’t happen in the US? Think we’re drinking clean water here, that this sort of thing only happens in India? Get real.

You’ll read in the full story that last year Associated Press found trace levels of drugs in the drinking water of up to 46 million Americans. Trace levels aren’t nearly as high as what was found in the Indian river, but it’s still there, and it’s still scary.

And in 1999 a high school student from West Virginia did a school science project on drugs in rivers. She took water samples over 10 weeks along the Ohio River and had them tested for 3 common antibiotics, penicillin, tetracycline and vancomycin. The tests found them in all samples, and she then did the same with tap water. Same result. Antibiotics are in the water that came out of the tap.

You simply must protect the health of you and your family by drinking clean uncontaminated water that has been filtered through the worlds best drinking water filter.

There is simply no other way to ensure that you’re drinking clean water. And if you think drinking bottled water is better then read our story about bottled water.

There’s plenty of evidence of drugs in our drinking water right here. Make sure it’s not you that’s drinking those drugs.
