Correction: Utah became the first state to choose higher rates of dental decay, tooth loss, and high dental bills over fluoride in public drinking water, which is relatively low risk.
“Fluoride is considered one of the greatest health achievements in 100 years
The addition of low levels of fluoride to drinking water has long been considered one of the greatest public health achievements of the past century: one of the most cost-effective ways to prevent tooth decay large scale”
I grew up in rural area. We drank well water. All of the previous generation had bad teeth or no teeth. My dad had full dentures in his 30s. They gave us kids fluoride tablets to take, so in my 60s I still have all my teeth. Dentures are not the end of the world, but it sure is great having teeth.
Broken cutters, broken saws
Broken buckles, broken laws
Broken bodies, broken bones
Broken voices on broken phones
Take a deep breath, feel like you’re choking
Everything is broken
Out of curiosity, why are they banning it? Not just, stop doing it? Or are the, towns, municipalities the ones that actually add the fluoride, and are now told, not to?
Nevermind the reasoning, can't handle that much stupid in one day.
The GOP rejecting science is clearly going to have impacts on this country. They’re removing fluoride from water, taking away vaccines, cutting funding for scientific research, and firing scientists in the federal government. All of this will set us back decades and cause massive brain drain.
Gonna hazard an assumption that this will disproportionately impact lower income people. Of those who can afford it, largely drink bottled water so they haven’t been drinking fluoridated water anyway. Plus, they can afford the dental check up and ongoing care.
Lower incomes not so much.
Rs and anti-science never fail to disappoint in their stupidity. They should at least share in their own experiences. In Alberta, Canada, they had removed fluoride from the water and are now reintroducing it bcs they saw the damage it caused. And the AB premier is a Trump suck up. SMH in disbelief.
I’ve had fluoride my entire life and lo and behold I have all my teeth, have very few cavities and I’m healthy and over 55+ my sister the same. So tired of the misinformation that is pumped out by incompetent and uneducated quacks.
It’s crap like this that we now have a measles outbreak w/2 dead.
Government overreach to turn us back to the stone age. These people belong in prison and it's about damn time we put them there before there is nothing left.
Fluoride fits in with lead, mercury, & other poisons that cause brain drain,”Grandjean says. “The effect of each toxicant may seem small, but the combined damage on a population scale can be serious”

"Because we never got to find out what was on Hunter Biden's laptop."
It'll be great for their business!

Tomorrow, they’ll be banning all HVAC air filters.
They’re saving the vaccine ban for next Tuesday.
No. Not the first state, @apnews.com, the ONLY state.
Language matters. Do better.
Why are Republicans so dumb?
