"Tests of intelligence and brain function showed the same results whether or not people drank fluoridated water growing up, a highly anticipated, long-term study found.
The new research, published Monday in the respected Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, is the first to measure community water fluoridation exposure during childhood in the U.S. and any potential impact on cognition up to age 80."
In the meantime, children primarily from low-income families will have to deal with tooth decay and limited dental access.
I would love for everyone to be able to afford fruits and vegetables and have time to cook at home. Unfortunately, the big farm bill prioritizes certain crops and ends up subsidizing less healthy foods, artificially making them cheaper.
Now let’s test the consequences of population subjected to substandard healthcare or primary education
Sure is a shame that RFK Jr.'s HHS and FDA are trying to remove fluoride tablets from the market, thus removing parents' choice to supplement.
@bich I used to do volunteer work in more rural communities. One time I traveled with a team to West Virginia in a rural part of the state.
So we’re looking at an intersection of no fluoridated water and almost no access to dental care. It was a whole medical team providing free dental services so people came out in droves.
By the end of a week there were close to four thousand extractions, most were abscessed. Hundreds upon hundreds of bottles of antibiotics were handed out. There were people who had teeth literally rotting in their mouths. No fluoride is terrible but when it overlaps in areas with poor access to healthcare, it’s catastrophic.
@bich This story does nothing but validate the "debate" with its framing.
It must be time to stop reading "the news." I'm about to have a fucking stroke from all the bullshit.
