Hormones in tap water

Endocrine disruptors in drinking water are a major problem. They influence the regulation of hormones in the body. Possible effects can include developmental disorders, reproductive problems and an increased risk of cancer. But how do hormones get into our drinking water? Quite simply:

They enter water systems through the excretion of medicines such as the contraceptive pill and through agriculture. Even if the concentration is sometimes low, the health risks are clear. The Federal Ministry of Health is investigating the issue nationwide with its HoWiTri project (Hormonal effects in drinking water). So be sure that you are not drinking any hormones. With filbec.
