Wait so you're telling me the water I've been giving my kids could be causing issues? Great start to the morning with my coffee 😬

another study, great. what's next, oxygen causes cancer? wake me up when they actually do something about it

Jamie Fox2026-07-13T19:35:00.000Z

ffs this is terrifying. 120 premature births a year? how is this not front page news every day

James O’Brien2026-07-13T19:53:00.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. our water is fine, it's tested regularly. just another scare tactic from the greens

James O’Brien2026-07-13T20:10:00.000Z

get stuffed. i live rurally and our water is fine. this is just fear mongering

Chloe Martin2026-07-13T20:43:00.000Z

lol cope. read the study mate, it's peer-reviewed

typical. blame farmers when you're sipping your latte in the city. go actually look at a farm sometime

Jamie Fox2026-07-13T21:03:00.000Z

facts. but the farming lobby is too strong. watch them bury this

Eva Anderson2026-07-13T20:29:00.000Z

as a pregnant uni student this hits different. gonna stick to filtered water for now i guess

Mia Carter2026-07-13T20:41:00.000Z

bloody typical. council raises rates to 'improve water quality' and we still get this. where's the money actually going?

Blake Turner2026-07-13T20:53:00.000Z

i work in water treatment and this study is legit. nitrates are hard to remove cheaply. we need better regulations on farming, plain and simple

Blake Turner2026-07-13T21:09:00.000Z

lol keep your head in the sand then. data doesn't lie

Jamie Fox2026-07-13T21:50:00.000Z

exactly. it's always the 'greens' fault when science inconveniently shows we're trashing our own backyard

a friend had a premature baby last year, lived in a farming area. always wondered if it was connected. this breaks my heart
