Big Pharma is contaminating nearly all the water in America with toxic drugs that alter

biology, fertility and even gender expression

by Edward Morgan

America has become the luxury playground for pharmaceutical company moguls. As trillions

of dollars trickle through the economy, all those physicians who peddle their poisons,

along with PR and media account executives, are paid millions for mind-numbing advertising

campaigns promoting a daily dose of �ask your doctor.� But your doctor may not need

to play middleman anymore. As reported by Scientific American, trace amounts of many

pharmaceuticals have been found �in the drinking water supplies of some 40 million

Americas.� Need your ADHD medicine? Just take a sip of tap water.

In 2013 and 2014, Dr. Sylvia Lee, along with her team from The Cary Institute of Ecosystems

Studies based in Milford, New York, collected water samples from six different streams surrounding

Baltimore, Maryland. ARS Technica has reported that the researchers found 14 different drugs

in the samples, with two drugs, amphetamines and methamphetamine, discovered at all six

sites with varying levels of concentration. The amount of amphetamines, the drug well

known for its use in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), was the highest ever recorded

in surface waters, beating earlier saturation levels as measured by scientists in Spain.

Dr. Lee took the experiment a step further and created a method to test exactly how the

amphetamines would affect aquatic life. Her group built artificial streams, clean of any

toxins, and filled them with living bacteria, algae, microorganisms and aquatic insects.

Gradually, the researchers introduced D-amphetamine, the same substance found in the ADHD medications

and their six samples, and added the exact amount they had previously discovered into

their artificial streams. Within a week, algae were down 50 percent and the aquatic insects

reproduced like �they were on speed.� Additionally, the diversity of diatoms and

certain bacteria, so essential for aquatic life, were greatly diminished.

In 2012, there were 16 million people taking prescription medications with amphetamines

as a key ingredient. USA Today reports that in 2013, �American manufacturers of prescription

stimulant drugs produced 191,723 kilograms, or 211 tons of legal speed.� Amphetamines

are now also prescribed for asthma, obesity, narcolepsy and depression. And that�s just

one prescription drug leaking its way into our water supply. Add that to the enduring

remnants of the other 4.4 billion prescriptions written in 2015, which are seeping into the

�environment through sewage and cesspool systems across the country.�

Pain medication, antidepressants and cholesterol-lowering statins are the most common drugs prescribed

by doctors. Birth control pills and other hormone supplements are also widely used across

the country. When these medications enter our waterways the chemicals and compounds

contained in them do not break down easily. Fish and amphibians absorb these chemicals,

and often experience �changes in intersex development.� Chemicals from medications

have�been found in the brains tissue of fish� who swim in streams and ponds near

wastewater plant discharge stations.

Research on pharmaceuticals in the streams, as well as chemicals from personal care products,

is ongoing at the Cary Institute of Ecosystems Studies.

If you think the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is interested in any cleanup

effort, you may be mistaken. As reported by Lion.com, the EPA decided to delay publishing

�its Final Rule for hazardous waste pharmaceuticals, proposed in September 2015, until it can adequately

address the comments received in response to the proposal� .�

That delay isn�t a concern for Big Pharma elite, who probably have an amazing water

filtration system that even takes out the fluoride, along with their mass produced toxins.

What keeps 88 percent of pharmaceutical executives up all night is not how their products are

destroying the water supply, or how they are killing the populous. What they are most concerned

about, reports FiercePharma.com is the pressure they feel to lower drug prices. Is there a

pill for that?

8 Reasons Why Being Single In College Is Great - Duration: 2:45.

So maybe you've found yourself newly-single and are trying to convince

yourself you're not going to die alone with a million acts hanging out of

you.

Or maybe you've always been single and want reassurance that it's

not some shitty curse.

Regardless, being single in college is pretty

great, and here are eight reasons why that is.

1.

Freedom.

You can do whatever the fuck you want without having to consult or

prioritize with someone else.

You can go travel the world for three

months during summer without wondering if they'll wait for you.

(As a

side note, if you're in a relationship and considering "breaking up for

the summer", you probably shouldn't even be in that relationship in the

first place and need to re-evaluate your life.)

Freedom is one of those

things that you forget what it's like when you don't have it, but when

you do, it's pretty liberating.

2.

Selfishness.

You can focus completely on yourself, like spending all of your pay check

on an unnecessary shopping spree.

You also have time to get better at

your hobbies or sports, so that when the right person comes along, you

want them but you certainly don't need them to complete your life.

3 Friends.

You have so much time to socialize and meet new people where you can

develop a friendship that will arguably last longer than a lot of college

relationships #sadtruth.

4 Emotional Stability.

Less drama, less tears – again, you only have to deal with your own shit.

5.

Hook-ups Whenever, Wherever, Whoever.

College is your time to test the waters and see what you like.

You can

appreciate the hotness of guys without pretending you didn't notice their

sly six-pack when they lifted up their top.

Settling should not be an

option in college – especially when there's plenty of flavors to try.

6.

Study Time.

Boring (and yes, probably a bit sad) but true.

There's more time to study

and actually try to do well in college.

Or at least put minimal effort

in.

Like, let's be honest here.

7.

Bed to Yourself.

Not a fan of sharing?

Is the starfish your favorite sleeping position?

Then this is probably the reason why being single in college is just

great.

8.

Tinder.

You can play on Tinder and be shallow without getting into trouble.

Always fun to kill time and procrastinate from exams.

Yeah, so if you

could all stop being dramatic and realize that being single in college is

not the worst thing in the world.
