Montrealers are feeding fish Prozac

Research shows influence on brain activity while long-term consequences are unclear

Around one in four Montrealers take some kind of anti-depressant, and according to new research, the drugs are passing into the waterways and affecting fish. The findings are internationally significant as the city's sewage treatment system is similar to that in use in other major cities, and moreover, it is reputed to be the third largest treatment system in the world. Lead by Dr. Sébastien Sauvé at the University of Montreal's Department of Chemistry and André Lajeunesse, a PhD candidate, the research team found that the drugs accumulate in fish tissues and are affecting the fish's brain activity.

More and more evidence is emerging on all kinds of residual drugs/hormones ending up in our potable water systems. Some believe this may be why younger and younger girls are going through puberty. They are hardly having time to be "little girls and children" these days.

Most people don't want to face some of the "truths" happening around us. It means they'll have to think about something that is not going to add to their "toys" collection. SAD!

Wow What A News Flash!
Could it be because Professor McNutty spent his formative years down stream from Montreal?

OK! Does this mean that we have happy fish but the birth control pills are retarding the recovery of the cod fishery?
