Recently, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. affirmed his plans to advise water systems in the United States to remove fluoride from public water. As an individual expected to influence public health policy during the next administration, his comments created substantial controversy around the risks and benefits of fluoride in drinking water.
The story of fluoride begins in 1901 when a dentist noticed that his patients from Colorado Springs, Colo., frequently had brown stains on their teeth but were also less likely to suffer tooth decay — findings he and colleagues later understood to be due to high levels of fluoride naturally entering the water from rocks and soil. Over the next 40 years, research into the subject demonstrated that adding fluoride to drinking water prevents many cavities and is good for dental health.

a review is always good.
There will be no clear answer, shift the decision back to state and local with good scientific information.
I think flouride in toothpaste and flouride treatments at the dentist office are fine. Using tax dollars to add it to the water is probably a form of graft.
Just what makes up a socalled “expert” anyway? Half of them are nutbags given their credentials by liberal nutbag media types!~
Yes, we should. We spend all this morning putting the bloody stuff into the water supply and then all this money buying Berkeys and PURs and Britas to remove it.
Duh.
Oh, wait a minute.
You only have to look at the publication named “Book of British Smiles” to see the need for fluoride!
Lol
😂 🤣🦷
I am a fan of pure water.
although I am always up for some added toxins.

The retinue wore togas, toked on opium and drank each’s other’s wine
They nibbled peanuts
Spoke of heinous and premeditated crimes between the politics and the poems
Conversation stayed refined at Lisa’s party, Lisa’s party
Having a real good time
A legendary film star smashed a glass when a fan guessed at her age
The ceiling opened and revealed the naked lady in a cage
A fire-eater scorched his chin and departed in a rage from Lisa’s party, Lisa’s party
Isn’t it jolly fun?
An artist bit a chicken’s head off and laughed as he passed the rest around
Pieces quivered on their coctail sticks but were swallowed without a sound
A trampolinist jumped too high came crashing to the ground at Lisa’s party, Lisa’s party
Isn’t it a whizz?
Now Lisa was the perfect hostess...
She planned a big surprise
She spread the cyanide in layers across her delicate mince pies
And told her guests:
“A hint of almond makes the dullest cake seem nice”
And they all died
Yes without a doubt, fluoride needs to be removed from our water supply, in particular. Fluoride is known as a toxic halide that mimics iodine by attaching to your iodine receptors (mainly in the thyroid) and blocks your absorption of iodine. This is one of the main reasons there is such a problem with thyroid disease. We don’t get very much iodine in our diets here (unfortunately) and the little we get is blocked from absorption.
Get rid of fluoride, chlorine and bromine to a great extent and we’ll be MUCH healthier
It is the same reason you should check out your supplements. Anything you are taking enough to make a difference is no different from medicine. It needs to be treated as such.
Fluoride was in every tube of toothpaste I’ve ever bought.
Given that fluoride is in most toothpaste, I don’t think it is necessary to add it to drinking water.
Iodine is typically added to table salt.
No.
We need to regain control of our Precious Bodily Fluids.
just enough to keep you out of the grave. table salt is total garbage. every good thing has been stripped from it then they add anti caking and bleach (real salt is NOT white).
Supplementing iodine is critical to good health, particularly the right ratio of iodine to iodide (Iodoral or Lugol’s as 2 examples)
My thought is that fluoride should be legal and anyone who wants to take it in pill form or whatever should be free to do so.
My elementary school friend used to take a little red fluoride pill every day.
It doesn’t need to be in the water supply. It’s not something that cleans or purifies the water. It’s medication.
Which means they are missing out on the iodine as well.
Also even if you are taking iodine if the iodine receptors are blocked by iodine imitators you will not absorb the iodine it will just wash out of your body as excess.
I know my city does not fluoridate the water, which I’m grateful for.
What happens to the chemical compounds containing fluorine after they are consumed by humans and animals?
Are they excreted, and then go into the sewer, and then into the rivers and oceans? What is the concentration in ocean water, and is it increasing? What is the effect on ocean wildlife? (I’m glad the whales don’t have cavities, but what other effects are there?)
When they started fluoridating the water supply, did they even think for a moment about the consequences? Did they realize that the consequences were irreversible? Were their minds capable of thinking that there were consequences?
