America is straight up the dumbest country on earth. Don’t believe science but believe any conspiracy containing scientific buzzwords.
Wait till they see the toothpaste ingredients.
In 6 months we'll have the liver king on the white House Press room telling us that kids should brush their teeth with bull blood , as RFK Jr looks on the background with the expression of a dimwit who genuinely thinks he's saved the children.
Tom's of Maine Fluoride-Free Rapid Relief Sensitive Toothpaste FTW!
That toxic flohride-free vaccines-cause-autism mindset has made it to Europe now. It is getting harder to find eco-friendly toothpaste that is better for your teeth than literally brushing without toothpaste.
Crazy that people don't realize that you don't swallow your toothpaste water. 😱😱😱
was just talking with my wife about how things from the weekly world news are thrown around like its legitamate. No one would have respected anyone who took the weekly world news seriously when I was growing up. anti vax, anti pasteurization, now anti floride, and presumably they won't like water treated with choloride soon.
Lmao thats such an old hat but it keeps coming out again and again.
Just wait for all the other crazy stuff that he will float. I can see a health advisory in the US s future for the rest of the world.. and needing to be up on your polio vaccines before going to the US.
But it seems like people in dental school now have golden times ahead.
What year is it
Bro his third eye is OPEN. His pineal gland? Fully flaccid, unlike us.
Everytime this topic is mentioned people say the same things about how the critics of fluorinated municipal water don't know how much it's helped cavities and stuff. Someone once pointed out that it's important to understand that their concern is on its effects on brain chemistry for which there's evidence that it has toxic effects.
Dental health is irrelevant so save your breath or at least know that it's seen as a straw man argument. Personally, I looked it up and can see the potential for negative effects (imbalance in seratonin levels as per a .gov website). I still drink the fluoride water but do so with jaded resignation that I may be participating in the lead pipe experiment of my generation.
Everytime this topic comes up somebody who claims "I did my own research!" always bleats out anecdotes without basis, scientific proof or citing credible sources.
Deployed at the optimal concentration level, fluoride in water poses no impact to human mental or phyisological development. Dental health is relevant when your teeth are fucked and there is clear evidence that poor dental hygiene results in poor health outcomes more broadly. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8361186/
Here is an Australian systemic review goes back when fluoridation was first introduced in the 1950s (Tasmania) and federally in the 1970s. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S001393512301719X It covers the scientific data available, health studies conducted and makes mention of the politicisation of the subject.
