Yeah me too, that's how I figured it out...LOL
Come on after all your whining over rep points and then the Demit troll comes out to mess with Grind. Too obvious dude!
estrogenic compounds leaching out of the plastic water bottles

Are you not too blessed with intelligence? I will pray for you.
I started that other thread to gain rep power, not points. Read it again.
Do you not know the difference between rep power and rep points?
I like the rep power so I can share them with those on here of clean spirit.
Some nice posters did bless me with rep points though and I thank them for that.
LOL "major eye-roll* whatever citizen, have your fun dork! The whole religious schtick is a yawner though.

I just don't like all the plastic bottles.
The water in Anchorage is cold and highly rated.
I hate when we travel to the lower 48 and your warm and nasty tasting water

Nothing in the requirements for municipal water sources directly monitors taste. I'll take your word on Biloxi, based on the source water I expect it to be nasty. Me, I can't stand tap water in Florida, in fact I don't even like to wash with it.

It's really difficult to evaluate this study when the only available info is the legend below a photograph. It may well be that estrogen is leaching out of the plastic; can't say from the info.
What is more alarming is that estrogen is found in our groundwater. The source is almost certainly pharmaceutical. The hormone Estrogen is the primary ingredient in birth control pills and in a limited number of other prescription drugs. It does not accumulate in the patient's body but is excreted, unchanged, and enters the sewage system upon elimination. Unlike with nearly everything else that they receive, water treatment plants do not have the means to break down estrogen and so it continues to accumulate in the water. There are a couple of agents that may provide some hope for this, may have a catabolic effect on the hormone in water.
How do I know this? A good friend of mine will be defending her dissertation on this very topic in just a few days' time.

i will not comment either way on supposed trolls, but hypothetically speaking, if demwit was in fact the account of another user on this site, I would in fact, know about it.

Ah, what is the alternative? Do you have purifiers? Culligan?

Filters that rely on activated carbon (nearly all of them) can adsorb pollutants over a long period of time, then "dump" them all at once of another chemical that the carbon likes better comes along. They do work well, but have to be maintained, and many consumers don't do a good job at that.
The typical Culligan unit is for water softening, using a process called ion exchange, and they exchange iron-magnesium-calcium ions for sodium. In many cases the ions that were removed are beneficial nutrients, while sodium is often in over abundance in some diets. The main benefit of these units is less soap is used for washing, and rinsing is easier.
Most municipal water supplies in the US are perfectly suitable for drinking.

thanks, learned something, in Anchorage we need neither and I couldn't remember what Culligan did, just remembered the man coming to our house in Kansas.

I'm sure you've got great water there, probably some mountain lake. Our is just OK, being sourced directly from the Yadkin River. Like any other Piedmont river through an active farm community, it's red-brown with silt. Although they get most of it out, there is still a "earthy" taste to it, but in reality that is probably providing us with valuable micro-nutrients that aren't in bottled water.
The other thing wrong with bottled water is that it lacks fluoride. I fully expect to see more rotted teeth and weaker bones in the bottled water generation.

Well, we'll be sure to turning the effing thermostat down the next time you're down here... You ever made it up to Lunacy?
I can for SURE tell the difference between tap and bottled water.
Seattle does have the best water ever though. There you actually do get near spring quality water out of the tap.
