nah, still plenty of work to do. Fluoride has reduced decay but increased sugar intake offsets alot of it in many populations.
They’re poisoning our precious bodily fluids!
Couldn’t you say both are right? Couldn’t you just as legitimately call methane tetrahydrocarbon? (I found that word on Google; I didn’t just make it up.)
Are these Doctors the same Doctors who said that Thalidomide was safe and effective?
The evidence showed them wrong. Do you have similar evidence?
Actually, it was the company that claimed it was safe. This was before stringent pre-market testing.
ETA:
Apart from the evidence that hospital errors kill over 200,000 people each year, there are countless reports of drugs being withdrawn due to patients suffering death and severe side effects. I’m just pointing out that Doctors are not always right.
As far as fluoride is concerned I think that consuming small amounts of poison every day of your life is not a good idea.
If you agree with the government mass medicating us then lets go the whole hog and add more drugs to the water.
It was the doctors who were sticking the needle in the arm.
Just curious, why do you capitalize the word “doctors?” Edit: Except for that time. And thalidomide is not an injected medication, it’s oral.
Also, I assure you that you consume “small amounts of poison” daily in nearly every sort of food, both naturally-occurring and artificial. Plants produce all kinds of natural toxins to discourage predators and disease.
No, you weren’t “just” doing that. You were trying to undermine the credibility of doctors, hence enhancing the argument you were making.
Why not? A single ounce of 20 proof ethanol daily will have no effect on you. And depending on who you ask, maybe potentially be beneficial.
And as mentioned above, small amounts of vitamin A daily actually is a good idea, though large amounts is toxic.
Lots of things are toxic at large doses but perfectly safe or even beneficial at smaller doses.
Some doctors don’t need me to discredit them.
OK, lets add ethanol and vitamin A into the water. Where do we stop?
One of the usual fallacies. The “if lots of something is bad, a small amount must be bad too.”
There is essentially nothing you eat drink or breath that will not kill you in large enough quantities. There are enormous amounts of things that we eat or drink all the time that will kill us in not terribly large quantities. Many herb and spice flavours are poisons evolved by plants to kill their animal pests. As noted above, a lot of essential components of our diet - Vitamin A being the poster child - will kill you if you eat too much, but you will die if you don’t eat enough.
Our bodies evolved with a requirement for fluorine. It isn’t a drug that causes enhanced tooth strength by some action on our bodies. It is a component of tooth enamel. If you have no fluorine in your diet your body is unable to make the tooth enamel properly and you end up with soft enamel that is subject to attack easier. It is not a lot different to calcium in this respect - not enough calcium and your bones are weak. As humans spread across the planet it seems some places we got to didn’t have enough fluorine naturally occurring in the water. So when we worked out what was wrong, we put it back.
Almost all of the constituents of our body are “poison” if you take too much. Substances aren’t “poison” or “nonpoison”, they are poisonOUS at high enough doses. The same substance that is beneficial and even necessary to support life at one level can kill you at another. Iron, just to name one of many examples.
I have a feeling he knows that.
I know,I know I’m taking medications that would kill me in higher doses
My argument is about compulsory mass medication. At what point do you want to stop the government adding medication to the water supply?
Edited to delete: never mind.
Relax, it was a typo.
Another nit picking question, OK, I’ll change it to “It was the doctors who poured it down their throat” Happy now?
Actually without fluoride the enamel is just fine and the primary mineral component is hydroxyapatite with fluoride added during enamel formation it forms fluorapatite instead. Fluorapatite is harder than hydroxyapatite and therefore more resistant to decay. With respect to everything else I couldn’t have said it better.
They were just following the orders of their Big Pharma overlords.
Joking.
I hope you are joking, although I must admit it was not very funny.
Here’s another doctor joke to amuse you. Hey, doctor, I have a strawberry growing in my ear’ doctor" I’ll give you some cream for it"
