And there is a whole resale market for Mexican coke in the U.S. People buy Mexican coke with real sugar in glass bottles.
It’s obvious the Florida did its job of making us stupid and getting worse. A teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water three times a weak gets rid of cavities as it raises your ph level.
Correct.
YES! NONE in my water. I have my own water.
Same here.
After 1945, they started putting it in toothpaste, which you can apply directly to teeth. No need to put the stuff in your stomach, intestines, and overtime, bones. It is easier for those who want fluoride to add it, than for those who don’t to take it out.
Regarding RFK Jr, he’s taking the Bircher position on this. Hardly leftwing on that issue.
It’s a mass medical experiment without the consent of people taking it.
For that reason alone it should be banned. If enough people want fluoride in their water the free market will provide it.
Forcing it on an entire population is wrong.
Period.

It has been known for years that not all fluoride molecules are safe. A good comparison is mercury, which in its purely metallic form is pretty harmless, but becomes very dangerous when it forms molecules with many other elements.
For some years, fluoride used in water was of a fairly benign form, but it was moderately expensive. Then a different form, a byproduct of aluminum smelting was found, and it was dirt cheap. And that is where many of the problems arose.
That is, fluoride =/= fluoride. But expecting a reporter, who calls himself a “journalist” to be at least passingly familiar with chemistry, seems to be a bridge too far.

Neither.
Any Conservative who reads that passage, doesn't see its similarity to 'climate' science BS - let alone the jabs - and fails to dismiss such statements should have their head examined.
The other should be embarrassed for failing to mention fluoride toothpaste become widespread around 1975. And for not mentioned sealants and other coatings in use since the 1980s. The statistics showing a significant benefit to fluoridated water are all ancient and long predate these advances.
Pathetic what lemmings the associations of dentists are.
If you think taking fluoride internally is good for you then good for you. Take some.
What does that have to do with you forcing me to take fluoride internally? Take that junk and stick it where the sun doesn’t shine.
I never even thought about fluoride my entire life, until we moved to KY and had municipal water for the first time. I was diagnosed recently with hypothyroidism. One contributing factor is iodine: inhibiting its uptake. Come to find out fluoride does just that. Added to a prescription I’m taking for something unrelated, and it seemed reasonable to become concerned. We had a reverse-osmosis system installed to remove it. I’ll be interested to see what future tests for hormone levels reveal.
“This problem actually isn’t caused by tariffs. U.S. companies know they can get away with selling U.S. customers HFCS, but they can’t with Mexican customers.”
LOL! It is mind-boggling to think Mexicans are smarter than Americans.
It is economics.
We tax sugar. Mexico taxes HFCS. We subsidize HFCS (corn).

His record speaks for itself. He’s been a vocal critic of vaccines often spreading misinformation. The only reason he’s popular here on FR is his stance on vaccines.
Yes, it was an issue with the John Birch Society (are they still around?) in the 1950s-1960s.
Is there any proof that fluoride does any good?
I have never heard a study showing that all the money we’re putting into that helps.
Maybe the John Birch society was right.

“In a first for vaccine development, two COVID-19 vaccines were created, evaluated and authorized for emergency use in under a year. Despite the fast timeline, these vaccines went through the appropriate clinical trials, just like other vaccines before. The CDC continues to closely monitor these vaccines for safety and efficacy.
How did the vaccines get developed so quickly? The vaccine developers did not cut corners. Rather, a true global emergency paired with early application of substantial resources made it possible. (see the link below).

Perhaps but one has to remember the context of their development replete with stories of hundreds of thousands of dead overwhelming the cremetories in China, and so on.
Remember, baking soda, not baking powder or you’ll have muffins going out of your nose
He is a vocal opponent of some vaccines yes.
Not all at all times and in all situations.
