So I'm sitting in the living room, watching Animal Planet and came across some very strange information. Ok, so first the obvious: Our drinking water comes from recycled sewage water...gross as it is, it is true.
Ok so apparently women that are on the pill only use about 20% of the hormone and the other 80% is flushed out when we pee. More obvious information: When you pee (unless you squat outside and pee on the ground), it goes into the sewage system...along with the hormone. They are starting to believe that the reason that men are starting to have a lower sperm count is because of the hormone. Isn't that weird?
So pretty much what I'm saying is if you want to have children some day, drink bottled water...or try to convince every woman on the face of the earth that takes a birth control pill to pee outside to avoid having 80% of the hormone go into your drinking water. =)
I can't believe it. I'm so seriously amazed right now...you have no idea.
