Original Note:
The claim made about tap water being a “Gay Bomb” due to ethinyl estradiol is an exaggerated and sensationalized interpretation. The levels found in drinking water are low and not considered a significant health risk to humans. https://www.health.state.mn.us/communities/environment/risk/docs/guidance/gw/mestraethinyleinfo.pdf https://www.acs.org/pressroom/presspacs/2011/acs-presspac-february-23-2011/new-report-dont-blame-the-pill-for-estrogen-in-drinking-water.html https://www.uspharmacist.com/article/most-estrogen-in-drinking-water-not-from-the-pill https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2854760/ https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/contaminant.php?contamcode=E180 https://cfpub.epa.gov/si/si_public_record_report.cfm?Lab=NHEERL&dirEntryId=314811
