Regulations?! In trump’s America?! No way. It costs too much for shareholders

Regulate it harshly these fuckers need to be sent to the gulag

To be fair, the FDA was incompetent / hamstrung in many other areas before. The overriding purpose was to increase profit.

They, at least they are trying something new :D

They just banned it in Florida, with Meatball DeSatan calling it "forced medication," and that if parents want their kids to have fluoride, they can give it to them. Now they want to ban those products, too.

So now we're just going to reconfigure our entire society to indulge the fantasies of conspiracy theory weirdos?

This is just trying to ban access to fluoride entirely

Well yeah. These are extremists, absolutists, radicals. Their dogma must be simple and without exceptions. If they admit even one scenario where fluoride has more benefits than deficits, their whole ideology and worldview crumbles. Nuance is an existential threat.

Is there actually a need to? Does ingested fluoride do anything that toothpaste fluoride doesn't do?

I beat the rush and stocked up in December, and I hate that that purchase is already feeling justified. One option to keep in mind as well is that tea is relatively good natural source of fluoride. So if things get bad enough, becoming an unsweetened tea-drinker might help.

We had this fluoride foam the dentist put on twice annually. Fruit-flavored foam, suctioned it back off, no rinse, and you couldn’t eat or drink for 30 minutes. Got that for a good number of years. I also recall that due to the combination of that, your city’s fluoridated water, and toothpaste, you could get these faint white spots in the middle of your teeth.

I remember doing this. Sometimes the flavor was good, other times it was sooo nasty. Didn't matter, had to keep swishing

Someone here recently said RFK is literally just Pestilence incarnate, and I don't think they are wrong. The dude is the Randall Flagg of diseases. Just waiting for his actual bugchaser arc. Then he'll plan a mass gathering and dissolve like Gravemind into deadly spores.

I bet C will stay forever because some successful marketing campaign convinced people it's a natural remedy against all types of colds and flu, despite being worthless for that cause. Science ain't got nothing on a good commercial.

Same! We moved to a place with well water when I was ~5 and my parents made me use the fluoride rinse

I hated it bc it was like an extra step, but I was literally the only kid in my school to never have cavities even though I would try to skip brushing all the time. And yeah you called it with the executive dysfunction, but didn't find out I had ADHD until I was an adult

They're weeding out the "untermensch." The non-hetero, the mentally and physically disabled, the undesireable ethnicities, the criminals.

He literally doesn't believe in germ theory.

And I don't mean 'literally' as in 'figuratively'. He genuinely doesn't believe in the most basic element of modern health and medicine.

You can't expect him to then grasp something as nuanced as dosage.

Dude took his grandkids swimming in a sewage infested waterway... I mean, you expect someone like that to have even the loosest grasp of anything resembling nuance?
