Today, I learned that my mother now refuses to drink anything but bottled water because she actually believes that the government is putting a chemical in tap water that lowers pregnancy rates. She is trying for her 5th child. FML

Well they do put Fluoride in the water which is a neural toxin (IE kills brain cells). Why do you think toothpaste says if swallowed contact poison control?

I think we should do like the Chinese and limits these people who have countless kids and more often than night they can't afford to care for them properly. People can act like god doesn't like gays, but I believe god created gays for breeding control. Yes I know some gays have kids, but the majority don't. I don't EVER want a kid.

There Is traces of birth control in tap water that's released in sewers through the urine of women who take birth control

I'm sorry OP, but if your mom is that stupid I dont think that she should be having another child

She's probably right about tap water lowering pregnancy rates. Lots of women simply flush their birth control down the drain when they no longer have use for it. That water eventually ends up back in the system.

There actually is estrogen in tap water, not added by the government but through agricultural fertilizer, hormones from our own bodies and some if it from birth control pills. In addition, everything that has been said here before about chlorine and fluoride is also true. So I would say it's not a bad idea to stay off the tap water. And if your mum can afford it, why shouldn't she have 5 children? I would say that's none if your business unless you have to look after them.

Actually H5N1 is a strain of flu that we call bird flu. H1N1 is swine flu. Generically speaking, H#N# is a strain of influenza. I won't go into what the H and N mean but look it up if you're interested. We give them these fun animal names because that's where we discovered them an it's easier for the general public to understand. Their work was to learn how to combat highly virulent H5N1 because as you noted, the flu vaccine as it exists contains a cocktail of drugs to combat many strains of flu but not H5N1 so if there were an outbreak, we would be defenseless. That is why they got funding.

Bottled water is regulated soooooo much worse than tap, tap is government controlled where bottled is company regulated... For profit, yeah, think twice before drinking bottled water.

Your ma may enter her menopause and starts to act abnormally. Be patient with her
