Just did a news search for Floride in drinking Water and the only recent report has to do with Milwaukee having to cut usage by half because the supply of fluoride is sold out.

Now I forgot if Kennedy was pro or con on the Floride issue, but there were a lot of cons shouting it was bad as lettuce. What happened?

It's still bad as admitted by even the government. But people who buy into narratives got all up in arms at the notion that we should eliminate it from our water supply.

it is mostly settled it shouldn't be in the drinking water regardless of stance. Not much to discuss anymore.

Flouride is standard in toothpaste now.

Growing up in the 80s, I could always tell which classmates were from New Jersey, which didn't put flouride in their water. Most of them had busted arse teeth, worse than Brits.

Florida banned municipalities from adding fluoride to drinking water in July 2025. What’s there to complain about?

I find it interesting that most municipal water is allegedly fluoridated to reduce tooth decay while at the same time most of the people I know don't use tap water for drinking.

Oh yeah, go ask Google AI. Google AI says fluoridated water is the best....no negatives other than a little risk of white blotches on your teeth.

Its pretty well known that the states west of the Mississippi use well water that has floride and thus do not need the addition for strong teeth

It shouldn’t be but two things.
1. You DON’T swallow toothpaste and are advised not to because of the fluoride.
2. The fluoride in toothpaste is not the same as the industrial waste dumped into the water supply.

There’s been zero reduction in cavities from fluoridation in water also so it defeats the purpose of it. It also affects the pineal gland causing brain damage.

If we can agree that fluoridated water is a medication of some sort, how did we allow it to be forcibly given to everyone on public water except those able to afford a filter?

Want fluoride? Almost every commercially available tooth care product has it.

It's fricking retarded to drink it, the benefit doesnt come from ingesting it, that is why it's in toothpaste, but also you dont even need it, have been brushing my teeth with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide for nearly 20 years now and never had any issues. No fillings, no cavities, or any other problems.

As a side note, during ww2 the majority of Americans still lived in rural areas and many will still suffering the after effects of the poor economic conditions from the depression. As such many had very poor health care.

The US military pulled 16 million, thats million teeth during the war.

Was it ever really a prominent political topic? It was reserved to discussion among mostly "conspriacy theorist" types or at least relegated to the realm of chem trails and similar topics. Even though, like chem trails or "cloud seeding," it's competely legitimate and real. But it's one of those topics politicians are likely to avoid because of the "conspiracy theory" stigma.

Starting to agree with this assessment.

All other red state Guvnah's have had the opportunity to do what Ron has done and they failed miserably.

Even with advantageous #'s Abbott can suck a fat one.
