Forced medication good. Big brother knows best.

Nope. It has been a long running theme that stripping micronutrients and metals away from drinking water may, in fact, have been a bad thing. Overly filtered and sterile water is turning out to be a problem in a similar way, perhaps, or so the thinking goes. This would be nothing more than simply re-adding metals that ordinarily would already exist, and do exist, in other populations.

Yes, a long theme running from the propaganda stream into your fluoride addled mind. Good luck with water++, moron.

Your inability to defend your ideas is not welcome here
You lack any coherent argument for defending the drugging of the water supply.
If it had a beneficial effect I fail to see what the problem is.
You said yourself you don't even know what good it would do.
Lithium toxicity is closely related to serum lithium levels, and can occur at doses close to therapeutic levels.
Let's look at some of the side effects: * Confusion, poor memory, or lack of awareness * fainting * fast, pounding, or irregular heartbeat or pulse * frequent urination * increased thirst * slow heartbeat * stiffness of the arms or legs * troubled breathing (especially during hard work or exercise) * unusual tiredness or weakness * weight gain

"It has been a long running theme that stripping micronutrients and metals away from drinking water may, in fact, have been a bad thing."
False. Based on this research it might reduce suicides. I only pointed out it's a correlation that needs more studying, but is in line with other research suggesting we have made our drinking water too sterile.
In clinical dosages, not naturally occurring trace elements. Next you'll say stop breathing oxygen bad.
Want to try again? Because lying about what I said, by apparently not reading what I said, isn't working for you.

That's not an argument. There's been many long running themes from the propaganda outlets. "Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth". You're so conditioned, you've become an agent of the government. Start questioning things.

Argument: "a reason or set of reasons given with the aim of persuading others that an action or idea is right or wrong."
That you don't understand my argument doesn't make it not one. Diverting from the argument with aspersions and conspiratorial thinking is not addressing it, either. Point is, lithium may be among the necessary metals and things we ought to add back into water. See also, the article we're discussing.

Your sole argument is the mass media has been pushing this message for a few years. You're simply parroting the propaganda like a paid puppet. See also, getting a mind of your own.

So you don't have an argument then? Okay. Thought not.
