Water filtration general

In this general we talk about water filtering. Because as you know, there's a lot of stuff you don't know in your tap water. Most importantly, female hormones.

Since a few decades, there have been a large increase in the amount of female hormones found in water, which is usually the result of women taking birth control. The processes tap water goes through do indeed filter a lot of things, but estrogen passes through it just fine.

Most people don't care about that part, and would just tell you stuff like ``It's not enough for it to be a big deal!'' and stuff like that, but believe me: it is a big deal. There are even boys in countries like denmark, Britain who develop breasts from exposure to that stuff. Even fishes aren't safe, as it's been discovered that this type of pollution causes some of them to be born with both male and female sexual organs.

So what's the solution to this problem? Water filtration!
Some filters (carbon-based) are able to filter these hormones from your water supply with no problems. You can't trust the state to act in your best interests, so it's best to take matters into your own hands especially when it comes to something as important as water.
