ah yes.

fun fact: california is one of the places in the world with MOST people with thyroid problems.

why? californias water supply is completely polluted with fluoride, chloride and iodine. the three things that kills your thyroid the hardest, even one of those in small portions, meaning, especially if you're a woman in california, you're susceptible to become hormonal and overweight, due to your entire body balance being whacked.

Right, only beneficial topically, there is no reason to ingest fluoride. I would've just upvoted but I'm a new transfer from reddit. :D

The teeth get a topical application when you drink it.... But it also gets to meet all your vital organs as well

I'm just glad they've finally started to publish this in well known journals for something that has been known for years. Fluoride naturally occurs in normal water, but it should not be added extra to drinking water during processing.

Edit: typo's

The fluoride naturally occurring thing is only in some locations. I also do not know which type that is without looking it up but based off what memory fragments I do have of it I would say it was stannous fluoride based off the fact it would stain their teeth brown. This is a known effect off that type that sodium fluoride doesn't do.

Nice to see someone handing out down votes without proof or an actual comment. Guess we found their trigger.

Thank you for the clarification. And it does seems to me that some people based their downvoats on biased opinions rather than opening up for conversation.

I do down votes sometimes without a comment. Usually it is either incorrect information I don't have the energy to put into dispelling or it resembles pure stupidity. There's also the occasional hmm this looks like some paid shill post.

Whoever this was decided everyone got a down vote though. Yeah won't be the slightest bit obvious with this few comments.

It is. The Nazis were putting it into Jewish water supplies in hopes of killing them quickly. I'm not sure the safe dosage but yes it does strengthen your teeth. Still need to be sure on that dosage part though.

I don't feel like looking up the differences in stannous fluoride vs. sodium fluoride. Also spelling may be off since I would need to look up the correct version and add it to this browsers dictionary (the fuck? Meh, I can't expect chemistry names to be in it I suppose).

Considering the shit the USA government has done (proven, mirrored by other governments including the Nazis and even said as such), I doubt there's that many mythical it was not tried things. Humans have a pretty good track record of trying to fuck "the other group" in some way or another.

Still, I don't know the dosage this happened at or the scale.
