As the incoming Trump administration pushes back against water fluoridation, several Florida communities are already abandoning the long public health practice.

You know, we seem to be regressing as a society. Some among us (MAGA) hate all of us, they are willing to go back to times when humans struggled to survive from preventable diseases, etc. I guess these Christians really don't know what Jesus would do.
More than 50% of Florida residents are seniors who are on Medicare. Medicare doesn’t have dental insurance. Fluoride protects your teeth. Lack of it creates cavities. That’s why I wrote that.
Fluoride is just the beginning. Hitler had the “enabling act” to give him unlimited power for four years and trump has the Supreme Court to do the same.
Most of Europe has abandoned fluoridation partly decades ago. Including Scandinavia, Germany, Switzerland, Austria. Water should be water & as pure as possible. If you add one thing why not something else?
Have you ever wondered why I only drink distilled water or rain water and only pure grain alcohol? On no account will a commie ever drink water and not without good reason. “. Now in the name of her majesty and the continental Congress come feed me this belt.
I just love how the US acts like it has some kind of public health policy but it doesn't and the population is getting more and more screwed (and in this case, toothless)
New York State Department of Health statistics show that fluoridation didn't level out cavity rates between the have's and have not's. Tooth decay rates don't correlate to fluoridation rates, either. And fluoridation doesn't stop toddlers from ER visits https://fluoridedangers.blogspot.com/p/tooth-decay-hospital-visits-for-new.html
Tooth decay is rampant in low income folks despite 80 years of fluoridation. Rotten diets make rotten teeth no matter how much fluoride is swallowed or applied. Reports show fluoridation a failure http://fluoridenews.blogspot.com
Like everything fluoride has pros and cons but in the case of fluoride the pros greatly outweigh the cons. I wish we could go back to relying on facts. It seems like such a simple thing to do.
This is both reckless and selfish. The people who will suffer the most are our children who lack regular access to a dentist. This anti-science and anti-expertise trend will only grow under Trump.
“A 2015 Cochrane…showed that children receiving fluoridated water had 35% fewer decayed, missing, and filled primary (baby) teeth, and 26% fewer decayed, missing, and filled permanent (adult) teeth than children receiving unfluoridated water.” https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Fluoride-HealthProfessional/
This is the perspective of the surgeon general. Did the lobby collect stats? Possibly, but that doesn’t mean the numbers are wrong. I was born in the sixties and had my first child in the eighties. I was in a community on well water. My dentist recommended fluoride drops and sealing my kids teeth.
The Trump administration with its protectionist and trade war policies will be a constant threat to stability and world peace. Don't take Trump's threats lightly. Trump is an insane old man, with no filter and no brakes, who thinks he can rule the whole world. Wait and see.
Remember when the media pounded Carter for having a peanut farm(an honest business), yet they admire Trump's ability to grift off of many shady(criminal) businesses.
That is how the corrupt corporate mainstream media has operated for decades and Dems just go along with it.

Make America Toothless Again!
Know who started the fluoridation conspiracy theory back in the '60's?
The John Birch Society.
Also, it compares data between high and low SES groups but everyone is drinking the same water?
Confounding effects would be who can afford to go to the dentist plus fluoride and tooth sealing treatments.
If you’re going to do something, you may as well give it 100%.
Yee Haw.
