I worry more about estrogen and progesterone in the wastewater effluent being recycled as drinking water; especially since the late 60's. Standard water treatment (ion exchange resin columns, chlorination, fluoridation, sedimentation/filtration) doesn't pull them out. Distillation would, but that's a low-volume output for high-energy input process.
HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) as a low-cost sweetener/sugar replacement is another 40+ year food supply additive/contaminant.
Oh, joy.
