Add meds 2 wine 4 pain, infection, Anti-e

This is a little scary.... minimally so, really.... But it is interesting. This article talks about medications that are left over in drinking water, and often even in bottled water... This would include natural spring water too... One of the primary ingredients in kits that I have made in the past....

I have started using RO water in my home (for drinking, beer, and wine) and just learned there seems to be even more reasons to do so.

I read the same article. What is scary is what they found with the fish. Makes you wonderabout the effects onour great-grandchildren. Really scary!

I need that San Fransisco Water!!!

that's freakin not right, talk about catchen a buzz from a drink

Interesting article.I use RO water too, but i just read on Jack Keller's site that you shouldn't use distilled water because yeast needs the minerals. He said use tap water, the harder the better.

thats really sick,and america is getting older throught chemistry

Folks, analytical chemistry has gotten so sophisticated that they can now detect .001 parts per billion of many things. Will these tiny levels hurt you? No. Will your body even notice them? I doubt it.


It has been established that 27 known carcinogens occur naturally in a tomato. It is unlikely that there is anything that you can eat or drink that modern analysis would not find something bad in. All in all, I consider this much ado about nothing.


So why are scientists and the press making a big deal about this? The press wants ratings, and reports on things they know nothing about on a routine basis. The scientists want research grants. Billions will be spent on this, and every scientific foundation and university wants their piece of the pie. Follow the money.

now i feel better peterz

OK, peter, who do you work for and what are you trying to cover up!!!!

(at least you took your black jacket off for your picture

)

Actually the report did say that it was measuring most of these think in a parts per billion.

 

[PeterZ]

rs, parts per billion and parts per trillion. Actually I work for the United States Navy as a computer geek, but I spent the first 20-some years of my career as a water treatment chemical specialist. Over the years I have watched as analytical chemistry went from parts per million to parts per trillion. I was really excited in the mid-80's when I set up some equipment my company had bought that let me measure lead in water at single digit parts per billion. That equipment is now considered antique.

Wow, I'm sure you have an infinite knowledge (beyond mine) of water. I just thought this was an interesting article that water companies do not test for these things. I also wonder, as the article states, since these specific drugs are specifically made to react with the human body, what effects they may have over a long term.

But I'm glad to know you have that knowledge. When I get a little more time I want to question you about copying water profiles for beer (but won't bother to hijack this thread). Be prepared for about a million other questions!

This is a digression but in the sprit of the the times...

In the UK, milk comes with a health warning....May Contain Fat.

A appropriate quote by Sir Winston Churchill

"The water was not fit to drink.To make it palatable, we had to add whiskey. By diligent effort, I learned to like it."

Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and
oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital
ingredient in beer.</font></font>

Thanks again Peterz for bringing some factual light to the matter at hand. The inflamatory one that really gets to me is the stuff we can now measure and never could 15 yrs ago that ison my grill!


I'm havin a burger tonight cooked on charcoal.Maybe sans tomato....
