I never knew just how prevalent brain damage was in our modern day world. I see now that roughly half of the US population and nearly all of the blue states are suffering from massive brain damage. Those tumors must be caused by Starbucks coffee or blue hair dye.

Sugar is why, literally toxic and 99% of people who eat it have parasites that can alter brain function.

Interesting. Here's what I found.

I at first thought you meant the sugar gives people parasites. The toxoplasmosis btw is the parasitic infection Martin Skrelli's drug cures.

The water's safety is inmeasurabale. Somebody get me a county by county map of lead levels. You won't find it. The data doesn't exist.
That would only be lead levels as it leaves the treatment pant at that. You can't know what the levels are when it hits your home. So why don't they do a household audit across the US and map out some estimate of lead levels? Because it is so prohibitively expensive to properly measure lead that it's entirely infeasable. Why isn't Flynt having trouble with lying on some monthly record of lead levels? Because there is no requirement to log it once a month because measuring lead is so expensive that even municipalities get a break on it.
Your lead levels are a complete unknown. The only thing we know is that mortality rates on the east cost are higher and it is largely attributed to lead. The main symptom of lead poisoning is not death. It's cognitive problems. If the lead is high enough to kill you (or be measured) then it is high enough to cause mental problems (measured over aggregate).
Why do other nations not put drinking water though their pipes? Because they are poor or something? They, being in a developmental stage, have a cost advantage on laying down clean pipes and have no problem finding money for other infrastructure projects. They are a developing nation because they have money for infrastructure projects. They don't do it because it doesn't make sense. You can't do it in a way that's both accountable and cost effective. Only the US has a complex that everything must be safe because it is the US. Yes our water is cleaner than other nations but that's because they've stopped paddeling up river like idiots. It's time to stop treating tap water as safe to drink just because everyone else does it. That's not a measure of safety. We have data to show otherwise. We have a lack of data that should be equally concerning.

These people are so god damned ready to abort a retarded fetus because they don't want to take care of a Downy doll but if it's their own ass on the line they expect everyone to drop everything and take care of them for an eternity.
