Summary

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that a Trump administration would prioritize removing fluoride from public water systems, a position at odds with major health organizations like the CDC, the American Dental Association, and the American Academy of Pediatrics, all of which endorse water fluoridation as safe and beneficial for dental health.

Despite Kennedy’s controversial stance on health and environmental issues, which includes previously debunked claims linking vaccines to autism, Trump has praised his passion, stating that Kennedy would have significant freedom to influence health policy if Trump were elected.

    If you believe fluoride is good for you, then buy it and consume it privately by yourself. Advocating for everyone else to have it involuntarily because you think it’s good for you is selfish, because not everyone wants it in the water supply. Fluoride is not a magic thing that solves all your problems. It comes with health concerns.

          Dude I can look up “faked moon landing” and start reading, that doesn’t mean what I’m reading isn’t written by someone like you; who is lacking critical thinking skills.

          Do you think you can search Google and do a better job than the whole of your government and governments around the world. Even in countries that don’t get along with your own.

            I’m not your mommy, ok? I don’t have to give you something on a silver platter simply because you asked for it. Maybe that’s what you’re used to, but you won’t get that kind of treatment everywhere, sir. A quick search on the negative effects of fluoride will result in countless results from credible sources on the front page. It’s not some conspiracy theory that you to dig deep around the internet through obscure studies to find. If you were really interested, you would have done the search a long time ago, but all you have are excuses. I don’t have time to post a bunch of links for you here, when they can be found with a quick phrase on the search bar.

              I mean you could have posted it faster than writing whatever this wall of text is.

              Clearly you’ve never heard of a paragraph, yet you expect me to believe that you’ve superior research and analytical skills. Makes me wonder where you got your BSc.

              You wouldn’t know a medical journal if I balled one up and launched it at your Dunning-Kruger face ffs.

              Edit: Furthermore, it pisses me off when people say hurr durr look it up yourself, as it’s disingenuous really. If I had information that would be to the betterment of my fellow human and people didn’t believe me, I would share all I could with them. As to me helping others is what we should strive for, not just ugh this guy doesn’t understand so let’s alienate them even more.

                  Wow, you found sources citing how it’s bad… In massive doses like when cocking with cockroach poison!

                  Thanks for showing you won’t even read your sources.

                    Huh? I’m just doing what you wanted. I said “Fluoride is not a magic thing that solves all your problems.”. And you said:

                    And I passed the sauce. Now you’re moving goalposts. FYI, these negative effects can still manifest after prolonged exposure, even if the exposure has been moderate. That’s literally why there’s a concern. Or do you think the researchers raising these concerns are stupid?

                  So the study is showing how it can be lethal is massive doses. Shocker. Anything can kill you with a massive dose.

                  Drink too much water, dead.

                  Eat too many bananas, dead.

                  Poison is in the dosage.

                  The second link is a news source so I’ll not touch that.

                  Finally, why are you being so aggressive and confrontational? Is this how you conduct yourself all the time? That must be exhausting and your face must hurt after trying this IRL to people’s faces.

                    Prolonged exposure to flouride, even in small doses, can also bring about those negative effects. You don’t have to have fluoride in high doses. It’s why people are concerned in the first place. Have I been aggressive? I’m sorry. After all, most of the internet IS designed to get you riled up. I mean, look at this community. Look at Reddit. I’m not the only one.
