    Prozac in the UK water supply, now that explains a lot! http://www.guardian.co.uk/medicine/story/0,11381,1278793,00.html

        What a load of bullsh*t. Even though the human body doesn't completely metabolize Prozac (like most drugs), I can't believe you'd find a medically significant amount of it in your tap water. There are too many intervening chemical processes (whether you have city water and sewage treatment or not). Drugs like this are chemically complex, which means they have a narrow band of conditions they can survive in. Solvents and conditions of temperature and pressure would reduce the base amount of the drug in the water supply. This doesn't even mention diluting that base amount by several orders of magnitude through the water supply itself.

          A great line from the BBC news article http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3545684.stm[^]: 'It quotes the Liberal Democrats' environment spokesman, Norman Baker MP, as saying the picture emerging looked like "a case of hidden mass medication upon the unsuspecting public".' And it still doesn't explain nearly enough, if you ask me... :) -- Diane C "I think it would be a good idea." (Mahatma Gandhi, when asked what he thought of western civilisation)

            Well... I drank 15 glasses of water yesterday - this might be an explanation! Joel Holdsworth
