This doesn't even get into calcium fluoride (good) vs sodium fluoride (toxic) and sodium fluoride is what they put in the water.

I was listening to the Darkhorse podcast / Brett Weinstein... couldn't tell you which episode as it was at least 3 or 4 years ago... and iirc they were talking about a town in Oregon or Washington that was getting rid of fluoridated water. And he brought up that there was only one not very robust study decades ago that became the basis for the mass decision to add fluoride.

To your point, that one study used a different type of fluoride than the one they started adding to water. It may have been stannous fluoride, which is the form used in some but not all toothpastes. (To assume different forms of fluoride act the same in the body is like assuming carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide kinda act the same, too.)

If true, the practice was started on shaky ground. To the extent subsequent studies said it was good, I'd be curious to track the funding behind them before I put much faith in the results (would be like tobacco companies funding studies to say smoking is healthy/harmless).

Are there any peer reviewed studies out there that reach this conclusion that I could read? I'd like to

Before you read to much into the “breakdown” of a study provided by landmass look into who the “international academy of oral medicine and toxicology” are. They are a group of “biological” dentists that made up an important sounding academy to use as “scientific” backing for any of their claims as reasons why they need to do superfluous dental work.

Any research page that has a link “to share on social media” below it should be questioned when it comes to anything relating to legitimate scientific studies.

Thoughts on taking flouride out of water?

Eyes and teeth should be covered by health insurance in the first place, but without fluoride, lots more rotten teeth and health care cost.

In the end, look for the lowest cost and widest cost saving so fluoride in thew water is a no brainer. Take politics out of the discussion and add in common sense.

They should put more stuff in the water. Something to make people faster and smarter.

I think Rogan said it best.

Putting fluoride in tap water is like spraying everyone with sunscreen everyday.

Or something like that.

People use the excuse that poor people don’t brush their teeth and need fluoride but poor people don’t drink water either they get cokes with their ebt card and drink that

Fluoride is a disinfectant/sanitizer. It destroys the bacterial biome on the back of your tongue which leads to all manner of cardiovascular problems.
It’s a fascinating process that involves production of nitric oxide. You have probably heard of the importance of nitric oxide production. Fluoride and antibacterial mouth rinses have been wrecking our bodies for decades.

Clames this is the best reply on this board.

Folks should know the chemical difference between microplastics and wood, is that microplastics are manmade .

I thought fluoride was bad for your teeth?
