I’m sorry, Lithium Added Drink???
Are there well-documented health effects about this?
There is certainly documentation that people *thought* that lithia springs or lithia water were curative! Visits to lithia springs and patent medicines containing lithia water were popular around the turn of the 20th century. I’m not sure if there are modern scientific studies, but it’s certainly an interesting topic!
