[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I already HAVE been lobbing the MAHA big cheeses and some Trumper types regarding PFAs.  The same EPA that has been ignoring court orders to investigate and regulate fluoride in drinking water was allowed PFAs to go largely unregulated.  This isn’t a MAHA problem, this is a bipartisan corrupt establishment problem.  [/quote]

Re: fluoride, there is ample research that indicates benefits far outweigh risks. Look at Calgary. Look at why we implemented fluoride in the first place. Kids are going to get more major drugs (antibiotics) without fluoride, and it's not my opinion, that's based on researc.

You cannot use research using very high levels that surpass what is used in the US and say "fluoride is bad." Hey, salt is also horrible for you and too much water will kill you. If you understand science, you understand that dose ALWAYS matters and you cannot evaluate research without accounting for dose.

There is nuance to be had. But for fluoride, along with vaccinations such as MMR, societal benefit far outweigh societal harm. We've known this for both for many decades, but the forgetting is happening because people literally do not realize how good they have it vs. decades ago.

Sometimes I think we should get rid of daylight savings time, but I can also recognize that we did try this once and people hated it. Should we try it again or learn from the past?

Here's a DentistyIQ article - published by people (dentists) who would actually make a boatload of money if we got rid of fluoride. Yet they want to keep it. It's not because of fluoride sale kickbacks or some made up BS. It's because of actual scientific research and caring about patient health.
