Utah bans fluoridation.
Idiocracy.

You didn’t vote for it. Huge news, too.
Anyhoo, you ShitLibs jump back and forth on fluoride in the water system. Looks like you’re in a “fluoride in water is good” flow in the cycle.
You talking about Fow Chee? Interesting that the dazzler worshipped St. Fow Chee and demanded that everyone get a shot of
fluoridemRNA fake vaxx against the chicom crud which the dazzler's saint funded the creation with US tax dollars. And he still thinks that he is the smart one.Your brain is over-fluoridated.
CNN —
The public health practice of adding fluoride to water supplies faces new scrutiny as a few recent reports raise concerns about potential health risks and suggest the benefits may not be as significant as they once were.
A new report from the Cochrane Collaboration, an independent group that systematically analyzes scientific research, found just a slight benefit in adding fluoride to tap water, leading to slightly fewer cavities in children’s baby teeth.
Research from before 1975 showed large benefits; children living in areas with fluoride added to their water had an average of about one fewer primary tooth affected by decay than those living in areas without water fluoridation.
But those findings don’t apply to more current populations that have broader access to other sources of fluoride and lower levels of dental disease at baseline, the authors say. In particular, toothpaste that includes fluoride has become widely available and more commonly used since the 1970s.
In more recent studies, fluoride in water was linked to a difference of decay in only about a quarter of a tooth, on average, according to the new report published this week.
“Adding fluoride to water may slightly increase the number of children who have no tooth decay in either their baby teeth or permanent teeth,” the study authors wrote. “However, these results also included the possibility of little or no difference in tooth decay.”
A study published in JAMA Network Open in May found that exposure to fluoridated water during pregnancy was associated with increased neurobehavioral problems in children. A lengthy federal review published in August by the National Institutes of Health’s toxicology program concluded that higher levels of fluoride is linked to lowered IQ in children.
In a case against the EPA, US District Judge Edward Chen ruled there’s not definite evidence that the amount of fluoride typically added to water is causing lower IQ in kids but there’s enough to warrant investigation.
The EPA sets limits on what is allowed and what is recommended under the Safe Drinking Water Act. The agency says it is “in the process of reviewing the district court’s decision” and “will consider all options going forward to determine next steps” in coordination with the Department of Justice.
The findings from the new Cochrane report aren’t particularly conclusive in favor of adding fluoride to drinking water, experts say.
“It becomes difficult to say if and to what extent there are significant benefits to continuing water fluoridation programs in the present era, particularly given that there are alternative, easily-accessible sources of fluoride as an inhibitor of tooth decay and one must now also consider the risks,” Dr. Howard Hu, a professor of preventative medicine at the University of Southern California’s Keck School of Medicine and founding director of the NIH/NIEHS Center for Children’s Environmental Health, said in an email to CNN. Hu was an expert witness for the plaintiffs in the federal fluoride trial.
The risks include dental fluorosis, a condition that can cause speckles on teeth, as well as “accumulating evidence” that prenatal fluoride exposure is neurodevelopmentally toxic, said Hu, who co-authored the study on prenatal exposure to fluoride.
The OP was describing himself in the header. As always
He's not "for" anything - he's simply against whatever his political opposition is doing. Such is the nature of the amoral, modern liberal
19th Century livin' incoming!!!
So prosperous.
Double down dumbshit
this is good news
improves Mormon blow jobs?
All the rich people in Camas are getting rid of it. Are they stupid too?
Your teeth is a matter of genetics (with normal hygiene). Why is it worth it again if there are other health risks?
Disagree. I’m happy to send him a bottle of fluoride if he promises to drink it.

Now do your analysis of the Covid vaccine, Dazzler.
