A New York Times piece was just published by Anna Fels, a psychiatrist professor at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City. While the practice of putting fluoride in drinking water as a means to improve oral health has been in practice for decades, it remains a hotly debated topic. What makes Fels' discovery show shocking, is that a new substance has permeated into the water supply...naturally.
It was just confirmed: varying levels of lithium are now present in the water supply.
Lithium, which is commonly used to treat depression and bipolar disorder, regulates abnormal activity in the brain.
Patients who consume lithium experience less mood swings, and are less likely to feel sad, but also less likely to experience euphoria.
Fels writes, “Lithium is a naturally occurring element, not a molecule like most medications, and it is present in the United States, depending on the geographic area, at concentrations that can range widely, from undetectable to around .170 milligrams per liter.â€
“This amount is less than a thousandth of the minimum daily dose given for bipolar disorders and for depression that doesn’t respond to antidepressants."
