You can't introduce billions of pounds of exogenous pharmaceuticals into the population and figure it will just somehow magically vanish without working its way thru the "ecosystem" that we are all a part of.

I'm convinced the average American patient is a hyperconsumer of unnecessary drugs.

Less is best.


I didn't find any data on the concentrations they have found. I don't think its like a salmon snorted a line of cocaine. Coco Cola used to contain cocaine. Not sure what the effects are of small doses. Most toxicity studies are done at higher concentrations. Definitively zero
exposure is ideal. The other problem is with birth control products that mimic hormones and can cause damage. I'm not sure what the metabolic rate is for most drugs. Guess I can help out by not doing ibuprofen or caffeine. Sounds like I've got a headache coming on.
