I understand not wanting to eat things that have antibiotics. Thing is, antibiotics, along with hormones, are in are water supply. People who use them often shed excess amounts in urine, and not all of those substances can be filtered out during the reclamation process.

This article talks about some of the findings when water has been tested. I am sure there is effort grwoing to take care of the problems associated with pharmaceuticals in the water supply, though.
