For instance, thyme and sage spike during Thanksgiving, cinnamon surges all winter, chocolate and vanilla show up during weekends (presumably from party-related goodies), and waffle-cone and caramel-corn remnants skyrocket around the Fourth of July.http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2009/11/091112-drinking-water-cocaine.ht...

They have found Pharmaceutical drugs in drinking water. The EPA has no standard test or regulations for this.

If you click the link it sends you to the full article;
"The link from kitchen or bathroom to coast can also grease the path for some rather unsavory substances, such as illegal drugs, experts have discovered.
After a person has taken drugs such as cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and ecstasy, active byproducts of these substances are released into the sewage stream through that person's urine and feces.
These byproducts, or metabolites, are often not completely removed during the sewage-treatment process, at least in Europe, said Sara Castiglioni of the Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research in Milan, Italy."

It's not the coke giving you the shits, its the cut- often street coke is cut with infant laxative.

I can care less about the alleged spices and coke in the tap water, however, is it just me or do the bubbles to the left of the stream make a smilie face.

The study samples surface water (Puget Sound), not tapwater.
Everything you can think of washes off that gigantic Walmart parking lot into every river and lake within 10 miles. While some municipal water sources include surface waters, filtration and chlorination at water treatment facilities and interactions in the natural environment likely remove most of these spices, drugs, etc.
The real question is how these things affect the environment (You know, fish and stuff), not how they taste in your tapwater.
Cool article, though. Just an exceptionally misleading title.

The bottom of Puget sound is so polluted that is it unsafe to eat any bottom feeding marine life from it. So the wather is really bad too.

Wow, this is a very informative article.
Hopefully our water purification systems are efficient enough to keep us from ingesting our waste again. - 4 months ago

Cool, in the future we will no longer need to buy cocaine, hormones, or spices. Our tap water will become an inexpensive and readily available party drug, hormone replacement, and cooking flavor.
