• Former President Donald Trump said that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s proposal to remove fluoride from the U.S. water systems “sounds okay” to him.
  • Kennedy, who is poised to play a health policy role in a potential Trump administration, recently wrote, “The Trump White House will advise all U.S​. water systems to remove fluoride from public water.”
  • According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “the safety and benefits of fluoride are well documented and have been reviewed comprehensively by several scientific and public health organizations.”

    I’m not suggesting that you care about down votes, but you seem to think the down votes imply people are angry or have “lost their minds” whatever that means.

        … but I found a blog post saying the earth is flat, and it had very thorough citations.

        Bold claims require irrefutable evidence.

        The weight of evidence in support of fluoridation is overwhelming. It’s the greatest public health intervention in the history of human kind.

        If you want to say it makes people docile then you need large double blinded peer reviewed longitudinal studies supporting that claim. If you don’t have that then you’re going to get downvotes because you’re just parroting nonsense.

        • What company pays you? Because it was the tin mining industry that launched the public fluoridation campaign in the US using no actual evidence to support oral health ingestion. China’s population does not fluoridated water but has better dental health outcomes than the US.

          Not to mention you think fluoridation is more important than fucking vaccines or condoms?

          Yup. There is overwhelming evidence, and that’s why the vast majority of the world due not do it.

          If you want to claim evidence is overwhelming, she me the proof. Not a simple fucking comparison of arbitrary data. I believe you set the bar at “you need large double blinded peer reviewed longitudinal studies”. Counting the occurrence of something before and after some other things changed…is not that. So where is it?

          (And are you fucking for real on your stupid “flat earth” bullshit? They’ll provide same quality and number of citations as you morons do.)

          Or don’t. Just go on getting all evangelical about what you’ve been told is true. What the fuck ever…

          Edit: holy shit, you dumb shits are going into my profile and downvoting random unrelated shit. Fucking weak guys. Now I know that you all know you’re doing as fuck.
