@pupuweb perfect ! no need for #fluoride in toothpaste and water anymore I guess since people are willingly dumbing down their mental capacities 😅😅 #rfkjr #sarcasm

Whenever someone complains about #fluoride in drinking water and says it's bad because it's a "neurotoxin". I just remind them they also put chlorine in drinking water and chlorine is a highly dangerous chemical weapon.

MYTH: The FDA claims that fluoride harms the gut microbiome. FACT: The literature they cite actually states fluoride likely has an effect on gut microbiome but the effect is uncertain and actually may be helpful at low doses.

Fluoridation is good for everyone's health and is cost-effective

61 yrs ago, anti-fluoridation ideas were silly and laughable enough to make a classic comedy. It is still relevant today.

Keep fluoride in the water. Fluoride protects and strengthens teeth. Kids deserve a bright and healthy future. Cartoon pic of a smiling white tooth making biceps curls.

FDA moves to pull fluoride prescription drugs for kids from the market

These drugs—commonly prescribed to babies as young as 6 months old—were never formally approved by the agency or tested for safety.

RFK Jr.’s fluoride ban would ruin 25 million kids’ teeth, cost $9.8 billion

Despite decades of data proving its efficacy at protecting teeth from decay—particularly children's teeth—two states have now banned the use of #fluoride in public water, and communities around the country have followed suit or are considering doing the same. The current US health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is known for his anti-vaccine advocacy and for peddling conspiracy theories, has pledged to remove fluoride from US water.

https://arstechnica.com/health/2025/05/rfk-jr-s-fluoride-ban-would-ruin-25-million-kids-teeth-cost-9-8-billion/

Text Shot: Now, a pair of researchers at Harvard—Sung Eun Choi and Lisa Simon—have modeled exactly what will happen in the US if Kennedy follows through on his pledge: The number of cavities and decayed teeth in American children and teens (ages 0–19) will increase by an estimated 7.5 percentage points over the first five years. That means there will be 25.4 million more rotten teeth in the mouths of children and teenagers. The dental bills for the added decay will total at least $9.8 billion in that time. Other costs, such as loss of work among parents, were not included, making the financial estimate conservative. But children will also be more miserable, with an estimated loss of 2.9 million quality-adjusted life years.

Calgary adding #fluoride into drinking water on June 30 https://www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/article/calgary-adding-fluoride-back-into-drinking-water-starting-on-june-30/ “The Alberta #Dental Association is applauding the announcement, saying since fluoride was removed from the water, the frequency of decay and cavities increased in patients.

“It’s been well shown due to the differences we’ve seen with Calgary not having fluoride for a few years and Edmonton having fluoride, there’s a significant difference in how many patients in Calgary have started getting more #cavities,”
