"They believe the problem is linked to women's birth control pills and other hormone treatments that have slowly seeped into our rivers through the years by way of our sewer systems."
Being that I've been in the water purification business for about 25 yrs, I hear this stuff often and know its factual. The problem is that's not all that is seeping in our drinking water. Antibiotics, antibacterials, many different medications used in animals, cyanide, arsenic, many pharmaceuticals including, anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers, steroids and sex hormones. The list goes on and on and once you realize how bad our water is polluted you'll never drink unpurified water. It's scary. There are endless studies and articles that document this problem.
If your wondering why your body is falling apart or why your kids and grandkids are going into puberty at 10 yrs old there is a good chance its from water. Purify your water for you and your family.
