Medical freedom vs. public health: Should fluoride be in our drinking water?

Jump

  • Thanks! I'll talk to my dentist about it at my next appointment.

  • Yeah, it seems like complaining about government provided WiFi.

    "What if I don't WANT my kids on the internet dangit!?"

  • Sorry, you misunderstand. I don't rely on a municipal well, and adding fluoride to private wells isn't a thing AFAIK.

    That's why as a child I had fluoride treatments. It would have been easier to just get it in the water, but tradeoffs. My kids get them too.

    I was wondering about the fluoride treatments being child only or whether there were adult benefits.

    • Is your job fulfilling?

  • Ok so seems clear to me there's no real harm, but is there alleged benefit for adults? I've never had to rely on a municipal well so as a kid I had fluoride treatments and used fluoridated paste, but always thought it was just for kids. Is there benefit for me as a 40yo (with no cavities if it matters)?

  • I've thought about this. Have the "Agriculture was a trap!" people ever designed like a hunter gatherer Eden? Like not historical reenactment. We have tech be a human and use it. But like buy a few hundred acres and plant a shitload of fruit trees with modern fertilizer, use GPS to navigate it, live in a badass modern tent...

    Not for me, but those people seriously seem to have the option right there

    • Either ya understand why most women pick the 🐻 or you are the 🐻.

  • Someone was asking about whether people would rather see a person or a bear in the woods. Bears are probably harmless but if not they're deadly. People are probably annoying, but that's the worst reasonable case. It was low odds high cost v high odds low cost.

    Then some people used it to do a sexism.

    Then some other people went "nuh uh" and did a counter sexism.

    Current status is opposing directions of sexism in an arms race. Currently it seems the boys are worse than the girls, but girls have patience so we'll see.

    • [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

    Jump

  • I think people hate vegans more than veganism. The most annoying x% makes the other (100-x)% look bad

    Choose your own x I don't want dunks from either side lol
