New CSI Tool: Hair Reveals Where You've Been

CSIs now have a new tool in their belt: the chemical signatures left by local drinking water in human hair.

Scientists at the University of Utah have found that the ratios of different forms of hydrogen and oxygen in local drinking water vary from region to region across the country. These elements are incorporated into the hair as it grows. Traces in the hair can show where a person has recently lived or traveled, and could help police track the recent movements of criminals.

"You are what you drink - and that is recorded in your hair," said lead researcher Thure Cerling.

I am what I drink. So I'm a cross between a Modelo and a Odwalla. Alcoholic yet filled with spirulina. Perfect.....

Hmmm, I wonder how they trace individuals who drink nothing but bottled water which comes from all over the place...

Good Husia (insight), Blackman. I didn't think of that... kinda puts a damper on the whole premise.
