I'm guessing Roberts and Alito know the admin will ignore this court order and pushed Thomas to make it unanimous for the fight to keep the judiciary an actual branch of the government that is to follow
just because fluoride reduces cavities doesn’t automatically mean it’s safe to ingest over long periods. The same institutions praising its dental benefits are also historically slow to acknowledge health risks (think lead, asbestos, DDT, etc.).
Historical failures are usualy valid cautionary tales, but that doesn't mean they automatically apply. Unlike lead or asbestos, fluoride has been studied extensively for decades. Drawing parallels without evidence is oversimplifying the issue.
Plus, we banned all those things when we learned they were harmful, even though they were big money savers. Why would we be resistant to banning flouride if the evidence showed it was harmful? Is our fight against cavities more important to us than better gasoline milage?
The criticism isn't just ‘old studies vs. new ones.’ It’s about the fact that most of the large-scale safety studies on fluoride aren’t actually designed to detect subtle or long-term harm—especially to the brain or endocrine system. Recent, peer-reviewed research (like the studies on lowered IQ in high-fluoride areas) suggests we might be underestimating the risks.
Those studies focus on areas with high-fluoride levels (often above 2 mg/L), which exceed the levels used in water fluoridation programs in most countries (typically 0.7 mg/L). Extrapolating findings from high-fluoride regions to areas with controlled fluoridation ignores dose-response relationships and misrepresents the risks.
And let’s not pretend there’s no conflict of interest. Fluoride used in water systems comes from fertilizer industry byproducts. There’s a real economic incentive to spin waste into something profitable—especially if you can sell it under the label of public health.
This doesn’t inherently mean it’s unsafe or that its use is driven purely by profit motives. Regulatory agencies evaluate fluoride safety based on scientific evidence, not its source. Your argument is conflating the origin of fluoride with its safety.
Lol, this is hilarious because I've actually seem this study linked before so I can just copy and paste my rebuttal from the last time a super dumb person shared it with me:
Reliance on Observational Data: The study critiques water fluoridation policies but relies heavily on observational epidemiological data rather than detaled physiological analyses. Observational studies lack sensitivity to detect nuanced harm or benefit[1].
Selective Evidence: The study does not adequately consider newer, well-designed studies that challenge its conclusions, particularly regarding fluoride's impact on IQ and other health effects[2].
Ethical and Safety Margin Concerns: While it questions the ethical implications and safety margins of fluoride ingestion, it does not propose clear alternatives or frnmeworks for assessing acceptable exposure levels[1].
Bias: The study's conclusions reflect a bias against water fluoridation rather than a balanced review of evidence, as it emphasizes harms without sufficiently weighing benefits like dental caries prevention[1][3].
Limited Scope: The study does not address findings from broader reviews, such as those by Public Health Ontario or Health Canada, which suggest that optimally fluoridated water primarily causes mild dental fluorosis without significant adverse health effects[3][4].
These limitations suggest you should pull your head out of your ass.
The dentist is expensive, this will increase the amount of money people need to spend. Makes workers more vulnerable to exploitation - their guiding light, their north star.
They are low intelligence, and that makes them suspicious of every aspect of life that they didn't learn about before the age of 10.
They recognize Trump is just as stupid (or 'normal' as they choose to think of it) as they are, but since he is successful they see that as evidence that some supernatural element is supporting him, either god or some genetic aspect of being a wealthy white that enables him to win.
