A study from the University of Copenhagen suggests a correlation between natural lithium levels in drinking water and reduced rates of dementia. While the findings are considered intriguing by the NHS, researchers note that the results are difficult to interpret and require further clinical validation. Denmark is highlighted as a highly medicated society where such public health interventions are frequently discussed, though the potential for side effects like docility remains a concern.
A brief discussion touches on the concept of adding lithium to the water supply, paralleling historical fluoride debates. A new resource, section215.org, is announced to track news and legal links related to the Patriot Act's controversial provisions.
Lithium in Drinking Water, Suicide Prevention Study
Researchers at the Medical University of Vienna published a study in the British Journal of Psychiatry suggesting that adding lithium to drinking water could reduce suicide rates. The proposal compares lithium to fluoride as a public health additive. Concerns are raised about the mellowing effects of mass-medicating the population through the water supply.
Water Fluoridation and Lithium Supplementation Proposals
