7-Up has its name from lithium.

It was lithiated soda.

I think the formula came out in 1929.

And one glass of 7-Up had exactly one milligram of lithium.

And seven stands for the atomic weight of lithium.

It's seven.

And up means upregulation of the mood.

So you drank your lisiated soda, which was called 7-Up, and you had essentially an upregulation of the mood.

And because you remedied your deficiency.

But there was, of course, a big thing selling this stuff and many followed.

Even Coca-Cola started putting lithium in their drink.

But in 1949, that was prohibited and they had to change the formulation.

So from 1949 on, the whole world essentially banned lithium.

In Europe, there's still a ban.

Here in America and meanwhile in the United States, you can buy lithium.

Because there was a reform of the FDA in 1994, I guess, where the F and the D separated somehow.

So there is more relation on drugs than on food and supplements with lithium is food.

And here the responsibility is for those who produce it.

If you put it on the market, if somebody dies, you are responsible.

But nobody died so far.
