Prozac and mussels-- how toxic is prozac? (Fluoxetine)

[enquirewithin]

According to a study presented at the recent national meeting of the American Chemical Society, "remnants of Prozac are flushed from the body and travel in wastewater that reaches streams and rivers ... (and) cause female mussels to release their larvae before they're able to survive on their own.".......

It's so, so easy to ignore or even mock the plight of mussel larvae but this is a canary in a coalmine situation. Those larvae are the mussel's children and what happens to them-in its own way-is happening to human children. "Let's be clear," Jensen concludes. "Those in power are poisoning children, stealing their physical and cognitive health: making them weak, sick, and stupid."

No wonder the whole damn planet is on Prozac.
