My intent when posting was to remind people of the 'real' science behind the buzz.
I am not terribly worried about the human effects of -barely- detectable compounds in our water. I am worried about the microbiota instead.

That's cool.
I'm very careful how I live, how I impact the envirnment and what consume. I eat organic, am part of a local farmer food coop, stay away from hign fructose corn syrup, hygrogenated oils refined sugar and white flower, use plastics in a very minimal way, recycle, don't take pills to cure every ill that comes along - that sort of thing. Even drive a hybrid. I hate what we are doing to the world in a lot of cases.
I also know how many things happen a little bit over time and then one day surprise us with how they've added up. What hurts on a microbial level today moves up the chain of life and eventually has an impact on us. That might have something to do with all the 2nd and 3rd grader girls all of a sudden coming nto pruberty years before their time. We need to figure those things out.
I suspect we're on the same page.
