There are many "cults" by your logic. Most people are in one or more these days. You are obviously in at least one or more yourself, yet you refuse to realize it.

So enjoy!

You’re uneducated yet so smug in your ignorance.

Look in it.

Not seeing any major issues there.

Yeah many areas haven't added it in a while if ever.

People freaking out are the types who are glued to the "news" to learn what to obsess about and freak out over next.

Like the long post I made on the first page said, if someone is worried about getting enough fluoride, simply swallow the toothpaste when brushing. Simple.

I was 10 or 11 years old when our water got fluoridated in the 60s. Back in those days toothpaste ads would extol the child who had only 1 cavity at their checkup.

I've read the arguments against it and am not certain (also the level of natural fluoride in drinking water has an effect), but objections to fluoride have always been about "government control" more than anything else.

What about the routine supplementation of milk with vitamin D or iodine in salt? Are we ready for a return to rickets and goiters?

With modern more balanced diets they are no longer necessary. The Vit D was added mostly for an ethnic minority who lived in cities in poverty who were prone to rickets. 20 min sun exposure a couple times of week gives you more Vit D than drinking 10 gallons of milk a week.

But money is involved, and many in the public would cry they are being deprived of their vitamins and electrolytes, if changes like that were made, so it remains in this day and age more as a security blanket and marketing strategy than a necessity.

That doesn’t make any sense. It’s for your teeth. You should brush with fluoride and get some in your water. There’s no need to swallow, that’s just a fact of it being in the water.

Here’s the thing - yes, I will be fine - I’ll use fluoride toothpaste and get treatment at the dentist. I’m on well water anyway.

But this nonsense that a study showed x ppm is toxic, so the maha freakshows go on the warpath about 0.3x because they have no idea how toxicity levels work is a huge problem.

Fkng idiots

Well it IS harmful to developing brains.... so don't be too hard on them.
Many parts of southern Appalachia around the fall line have naturally high levels of fluoridated water and kids traditionally grew up with lower I.Q.s due to it.

Too much of it is harmful to developing brains.

A little bit of fluoride is only a little bit harmful to developing brains?

No, that’s not how things work. Just because a lot of something is bad doesn’t make any amount of it is bad.

Who exactly decided fluoride is good for newborn babies?

What are you even talking about? Newborns don’t drink water nor get their teeth brushed.

Found the mother who didn't breastfeed or bathe their babies.

Babies don’t drink bath water you halfwit. And again, fluoride isn’t toxic at all levels.

Are you really this clueless about human anatomy? Never heard of percutaneous or dermal absorption huh? A good biology book will help.

Are you clueless? You think newborns are getting toxic levels of fluoride in their bath water? Give me a fûcking break. This is RFK level lunacy

Again with the trolling? Ok, we see what you are.

You think I’m the troll? You’re the one spouting off about fluoride, which was a fringe conspiracy theory until mainstreamed by the maha whackos.

Of course you are trolling, for whatever reasons.
Plenty of info was provided in my longer post.

If you are concerned about not getting enough fluoride, then swallow the toothpaste rather than spitting. A double pea sized amount will give you more than your RDA of the stuff.

Ma'am, some of us still have teeth in our mouths and haven't swallowed them yet. Do you... have a gizzard?

Read more. Try to understand what you read. Don't be so reactive and accept that you need to learn more.

See, you react rather than reflect and learn. Anger is your go-to emotion.

Yes, for the most part the way the EU regulates chemicals is scientifically illiterate. They use the precautionary principle which says if it’s toxic in any amount it’s forbidden unless you can prove it’s safe and nothing can be proven safe so then it just becomes an exercise of which chemicals have the most demonstrated need to be used and they think they’re safe. They don’t actually do any original science and they rely on bureaucrats not scientists to regulate.

So yeah, pretty much they’re scientifically illiterate.

And yet obesity rates in America are astonishing and our life expectancy is actually DECREASING. Our life expectancy is 76 while it’s 81 in Europe and their morbidity is far lower too. Go figure.

This.
Too many chemicals added to it, either intentionally or via pollution and polluted environmental issues that plague many reservoirs/rivers.
Too many microplastics,
Too many pharmaceuticals. This is a HUGE problem that is not solved by traditional water treatment facilities and it is building up in many areas and affecting children the most.

But they take fluoride pills. So what’s the difference?
