None.
Yes, in general.
Which means suddenly we’ve done a flip-flop again, in the space of a few years.
Why, oh why, would that be?
I understood that the public waters are laced with sodium floride which is a industrial waste and not good for the body...it is a byproduct of aluminum manufacturing.
Versus calcium floride which is a naturally occurring ptoduct.
How again?
I’ve kept my common sense.
Too many geniuses in my family have zero sense.
Pretty damn obvious Fluoride damages your brain,
look at how many of our large cites are filled with Democrats( city Fluoridated water)
compared to rural well water people.

Study: Fluoride Harmful to Pregnant Women, Infants

“A new meta-analysis found that fluoride can have a detrimental effect on the health of pregnant women, the fetus, and infants.
The analysis reviewed multiple studies observing the impact of fluoride exposure on pregnant women and infants. It was found that high levels of fluoride can lead to adverse developmental outcomes, including decreased IQ and cognitive impairments in children. The findings suggest the need for reconsideration of fluoride levels in drinking water and dental products to safeguard maternal and infant health.
According to the study, published in the Annual Review of Public Health, systemic fluoride exposure can also have a detrimental effect on bone strength, cognitive development and thyroid function. Study author Phillipe Grandjean, from the University of Southern Denmark, is a leading researcher on fluoride toxicity. Grandjean participated in the latest meta-analysis and has long warned about the dangers of this mineral either from community drinking water or in toothpaste.
“The weight of epidemiological evidence leaves no reasonable doubt that developmental neurotoxicity is a serious human health risk associated with elevated fluoride exposure, including those occurring at the levels added to drinking water in fluoridated areas. The IQ losses associated with community water fluoridation are substantial and of significant public health concern,” he has stated, according to the Fluoride Action Network.
According to the New York Times, the greatest benefit of fluoride is that it improves children’s oral health and prevents tooth decay that can cause loss of teeth. Research also suggests that water fluoridation is associated with a 27% decline in adult cavities, too. This reduction can lower the risk of heart disease, say experts.
The concerns about the negative effect of fluoride on our health is directly linked to exposure. Most water supplies in the U.S. contain 0.7 milligrams per liter, the limit set by the U.S. Public Health Service. But 5% of systems have levels that are double that amount and 0.3% have more than four milligrams of fluoride per liter of water, says the Times.
In 2019, a study published in JAMA Pediatrics found that fluoride exposure during pregnancy was associated with lower IQ scores in children aged three to four years. The researchers suggested that there is a “possible need to reduce fluoride intake during pregnancy.”

You just said it.
Dems always think no one should be rich and rich is evil and poor is a virtue.
Not that having a business means “rich”, but that’s the way Dems often paint even the Korean couple holding down the fort in Baltimore on a street corner with iron bars.
Dems think government somehow will be perfect despite those same humans running things.
They love anything that shakes down others for money, including unions, which think they have a right to walk out of work, get paid more for doing less, etc.
Dems still think this - though obviously most corps will follow THEIR beliefs of BLM and LGBT etc. But increasingly, so does a segment of what is supposed to be conservatism (conserving the greatness of the USA per its Constitution and Founding, revolutionary principles).
Billionaires and large corporations support wokeness and punitive economic laws, so now the left loves them.

Once a the public is purposefully exposed to a substance, for examply for public safety, the incentive is to cease all testing for safety is extinguished, in order to manage risk, i.e. avoid liability for unforseen but foreseeable consequences. So tell me if I'm wrong - this study finding a .7 mg/mgl is about 50 years old.
This article is extremely misleading out of the gate.
Calcium Fluoride is a natural mineral found in soil and water. Its benefits are discussable. But this natural form is not what is added to municipal water.
Sodium Fluoride is what is added to water. Its harms have been studied and documented.
It is worth a web search to gain knowledge.
I hope my 10 year old Berkey purchased just for this reason actually filters it out.
Speaking of which, anyone tried the Boroux black filters ye
I have been suspecting the increase in mental disorders is related to the water supply.
The new thing they are pushing in water supplies are chloramides, which as I understand it as a non chemist, is Chlorine but less likely to brake down and also more potent.
Most filters on the market will not filter this out, and even some bottled water has is. Costco’s water does if I am remembering correctly.
Stop lying...Kennedy is not anti-vaccine, and you know it
Thank you, I wondered when someone would bring that up.
I’m less interested in the question of whether fluoride in drinking water is causing a rise in autism, and FAR more interested in another RFK Jr claim:
- that due to corruption in government, academia and the media, dissenting scientific voices are being suppressed to protect the profits of Big Pharma and Big Food - that we are being deceived.
Witnessing with my own eyes the rampant corruption in so many areas of government - I don’t doubt for a minute that it is true in industries affecting our health.
There is a revolving door between government agencies and the industries they are supposed to be regulating. Government grants corrupt scientific research institutions. Lobbyists bribe politicians. The media are paid whores.
RFK Jr. promised to use his clout as HHS chief to end the corruption and conflicts of interest - end the suppression of dissenting voices an d the media shilling for Big Pharma - allow actual scientific debate.
As for fluoride in the water being bad - or there being poison in our food - it may or may not be true - let the science be heard and let the chips fall where they may.
Bottom line: I don’t want RFK Jr. banning all sorts of things - but that’s not what I hear him saying - what he said on the campaign trail is that dissenting voices are being suppressed and policy does not reflect the true science - he wants to fix that.
That’s what I support - not banning a bunch of stuff.
“The U.S. is allegedly a wealthier country than Mexico, but a U.S. company, Coke (Although the others too), sells a cheaper, inferior version of their product in the U.S., compared to Mexico, why is that?”
Tariffs.
Some people have bipolar disorder and require lithium. Does that mean everyone should receive a dose of lithium in the water they drink?
If you believe fluoride prevents tooth decay, you are free to purchase fluoridated toothpaste.
Why does everyone have to be flouridated because you like it?
It was in the water in the 60s in CA where I grew up as a child.
Left when I was 11. In Ark I don’t think we had it in water.
I don’t think it is fair to call Kennedy an anti vaccine look. He does not oppose all vaccines nor does he advocate for making them illegal afaik
