I was watching this clip from the Kim Iversen Show where she's talking to an activist about the lawsuit he's involved in with the CDC. The lawsuit is about adverse effects of fluoride in the water supply.
I've never had a strong opinion about the health consequences of fluoridation. When I've tried to look into it, I've found the evidence pretty underwhelming, either way. However, I do think it's odd that this is the only medication that's delivered en masse, without regard for dosage or medical condition. The method of delivery is especially odd, since it is usually applied topically in a medical setting, rather than injested.
What do people think about fluoridated water? Do you avoid it?
Is this even a thing in your part of the world?
Not sure we can call it a medication.
Here's the definition of "medication":
A medication is a medicine or a set of medicines or drugs, used to improve a particular condition or illness.
Here's the definition of "drug":
Any substance (other than food) that is used to prevent, diagnose, treat, or relieve symptoms of a disease or abnormal condition.
Yes,
You can fit it under drug... Not sure its a good one though..
Most of them aren't, imho.
the latest i discovered is Fentanyl on Epidural..
very common
Go figure
I'm with you. I am not convinced by the complaints about fluoridated water, but I am open to being swayed. It's in the same conversation as chem trails, and those conversations can get off the rails really fast depending on who you talk to.
I'm digitally underscoring your insight that it's odd that this is the only medication that's delivered en mass. Why just this one with so little argument? I wonder if it has something to do with the cost of other medications when scaled up to municipal proportions.
I've seen proposals to add other medications to municipal water supplies, but people react very negatively (as you'd expect them to).
This is definitely one of those topics where it's hard to have a rational conversation.
Associating fluoridation toxicity with chemtrails is exactly why governments sow ridiculous ideas like aliens and "5G" bullshit. They want you to be confused.
Fluoride and vaccine dangers are not just nutjob theories. DYOR.
I think the idea that fluoride in water is necessary to make our teeth stronger has been debunked
So why is it there?
Why is it there? and why do they care so much that it stays there?
It would be one thing if it was just inertia (like daylight saving time), but researchers have been fired for studying this topic.
Do you have a preferred explanation?
Here's an alternate view article
Thanks. I'm familiar with those health claims.
What do you think is going on with fluoridation? Why is it done? Why is there such strong support for it?
My personal opinion…
The general population thinks fluoride is good because they have been told it will keep their teeth from falling out
Might be that it makes the population more compliant, limits people in some way.
There’s also a ton of other junk in our water - anti depressants, etc.
Say more about that.
It was mentioned in the video.
A Harvard scientist was studying fluoridation and an interest group pressured his department, because the scientist wouldn't sign some creepy declaration of support for the official position on fluoridation.
