Drugs in the drinking supply

I was listening to the AP guy tell the story on C-span on my commute this morning. We've all heard these stories in the holistic, natural, wacko communities for decades, it now comes to the major media.

He explained that he'd been reading studies and hearing stories for years as well. And that the AP sponsored the tests to actually get to some conclusive evidence. This should create a storm over the next few months/years till we get ADD/ostriche about the whole issue.

The question I have is if Homeopathics has any validity at all, these ppm, and ppb of pharmaceuticals could spell all sorts of issues.

AP? Associated Press? I'm not sure what that stands for in the context of this post, but it did remind me that I've been meaning to link to this:

Breaking the Nuremberg Code: The US Military’s Human-Testing Program Returns :: HEATHER WOKUSCH ::

It actually would probably fit better in the Politics forum, but I think it's relevant in a tangential way to "drugs in the drinking supply."

Some older (2004) articles from the UK:
Stay calm everyone, there's Prozac in the drinking water

Prozac 'found in drinking water'

Yes Associated Press, twas an AP story, sorry for the inititials. And I think if I remember correctly I was told by some military recruit he refused to sign up, not because he didn't want to serve but when he read the small print on the contract they can basically do whatever they wish, his body is theirs for the term of the contract. They test everything, they get every new vaccine on the market, and don't have a choice. Yes service to your country. Wonder why recruitment is down, it aint just the war.
