DESCRIPTION: Excreted pharmaceutical drugs such as Prozac can end up polluting our waterways and may bioaccumulate in fish flesh. The earlier video I refer to in this one is Prozac Residues in Fish (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/prozac-residues-in-fish/). Researchers have also found evidence of Prozac Levels in Poultry Products (http://huff.to/LdDddo). Despite the contaminants, tap water is still likely better than bottled (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/bottled-water-vs-tap-2/). A better way to avoid unwanted drugs may be to cut back on meat (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/drug-residues-in-meat/) and dairy (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-acne-promoting-effects-of-milk/) and transition to a more plant-based diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/say-no-to-drugs-by-saying-yes-to-more-plants/), which, for reasons other than the ALA mentioned in the video, may also improve mood (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/improving-mood-through-diet/). And I didn't mean to suggest caffeine is necessarily deleterious to health—check out What About the Caffeine? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/what-about-the-caffeine/). Feel free to also browse through the other 1,000+ topics covered here at http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/.
