Florida becomes the 2nd State to ban flouride in the drinking water

Good thing if you’re a cavity, not so much those hoping to avoid cavities.

 

Tough one. The American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Dental Association and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention support adding fluoride to water. RFK does not.

 

Florida cant even be 1st at being stupid, we're so cooked. Mississippi and Alabama are like "look at those ignorant hicks."

 

An outright ban is probably not necessary. There should be (and I'm betting there are) limits on ppm and the source of Fluoride. High levels can cause a myriad of skeletal and (in rarer cases) thyroid problems. There has been some discussion of if the Fluorification in CWF is of naturally occurring Calcium Fluoride or if it's a byproduct from fertilizer and erosion.

 

RFK Jr. knows best. Does Florida have any good sewage water to go swim in with the family?

 

I guess Florida like Utah will learn the same lessons that the citizens of Israel learned.
My post verbatim from the other thread. Israel ended fluoridation of drinking water in 2013 and this was the result:
Since discontinuing fluoride in tap water, Israeli dentists have observed a significant rise in children’s cavities and have urged its reinstatement, even as some parents remain firmly against the idea.

A study published in September found a significant increase in dental restorations and crowns among Israeli children ages 3 to 5, attributing the rise to fluoride’s absence. The researchers, from the Hebrew University-Hadassah School of Dental Medicine, concluded that the results provided “further proof of the need to restore community water fluoridation in Israel.”

Another study, published in January 2022, analyzed six years of data from dental clinics affiliated with a national Israeli healthcare network, showing that children ages 3 to 12 required nearly double the number of restorative treatments compared to before fluoridation ended. Researchers emphasized that even Israel’s expansion of free dental care for all children failed to offset the worsening dental health.

I hear Lake Apopka is lovely this time of year

 

One of the Canadian provinces tried this already and guess what they did after an increase in cavities? They voted to add it back to water

 

Well that's what they would do in a developed country, we are talking about Florida though

 

Also this: RFK Jr tells Congress ‘people shouldn’t take medical advice from me’

 

Gov. Ron DeSantis signed SB 700, also known as the Make Florida Look Like Polk County Bill, into law Thursday.

 

He doesn’t even really work here.

 

Why?

 

Science bad, cavities good

 

Some studies show... some argue....

Yeah, that's a great reason.

 

Based on the direction the country is headed it's pretty hard to refute the lower IQ claims.

 

I remember when some folks got really mad at a poster using AI. Pretty obvious use of AI there...
