RE: Court Decision Could Lead to EPA Banning Water Fluoridation
They should thoroughly think and investigate about it before they ban anything. I hate to say this but sometimes, it seems that courts don't know what they are doing.
I hope they take their time too, Flouride has been in our water for many years anyway. That should mean tons of data to use to get an accurate indicator of the dangers (if any). Much better idea to use some analytics than just a knee jerk banning.
read the whole article and the studies I referenced. There is plenty of evidence showing the dangers of fluoride and that it does not deliver what the authorities have promised.
Man these people are so asleep lol, how could you read this article and still defend fluoride in our water? You know mining waste is toxic, how could you want that for your children? What the fuck is the world man
Has to be shills. I haven't met a sane man who is in favor of dumping toxic waste into drinking water.
Generally those findings are in areas where the Flouride concentration greatly exceeds the recommended intake levels. I think if properly regulated, the potential issues seem a lot less of likelihood.
But, this relies on people doing a good job of regulating our water supply, which Flint, Michigan, USA has shown that we shouldn't be as trusting of the quality of our water that we assumed we could.
That's not true.
Please look at the studies the author posted.
Many problems with fluoride. Even in small amounts its a neurotoxin. As for the thyroid issue mentioned, very small amounts will interfere with iodine.
The study you linked to specifically says, "Professor Peckham said that research was ‘observational’, so no definitive conclusions should be drawn about cause and effect."
That is not any definite proof one way or the other, and does not explore how much Iodine residents are consuming.
Yes, I understand the correlation does not equal causation.
I trust you understand that the gold standard double blinded RCT could not be done here for obvious ethical issues.
There are plenty of mechanism studies that propose potential causal reasons.
Specifically damage seems to be happening to the hippocampus. I will gladly post references if you are interested.
There was also a 2012 systematic review noting a positive relationship between IQ and fluoride in water.

Water should be water, you don't need a court to tell you that
