The report provides insights into what happened in Lebanon, Oregon, after the town voted to remove fluoride from its water supply. Here's a summary of the key points: What Happened When Fluoride Was Removed? Catalyst for the Removal: Increased water turbidity due to a nearby reservoir issue brought public attention to the water supply. Residents, led by groups citing fluoride risks, campaigned against fluoridation using documents and studies, some of which were controversial or contradictory to mainstream science. Community Vote: The debate divided the town, with some citing health concerns and government overreach as reasons to remove fluoride. The city council ultimately held a vote, and by a slim margin, residents chose to stop fluoridating their water. Impact on Dental Health: Dentists noted a higher prevalence and severity of cavities in areas without fluoridated water, comparing Lebanon to nearby towns still using fluoride. Fluoride's established benefits for preventing tooth decay were cited by organizations like the American Dental Association (ADA). Arguments Against Fluoride: Opponents expressed concerns about fluoride as a "toxic chemical" and cited studies suggesting potential neurotoxicity. Mistrust of government and public health institutions fueled skepticism about the safety and necessity of fluoridation. Arguments for Fluoride: Advocates emphasized fluoride’s 75-year history of reducing tooth decay by at least 25%. Dental professionals argued it is safe at recommended levels (0.7 mg/L) and cost-effective for improving public health. Broader Implications: The removal sparked wider discussions on water fluoridation in other towns, showing a divide between scientific consensus and public perception. It highlighted the challenges of balancing public health recommendations with individual choice and trust in institutions. Conclusion: The removal of fluoride in Lebanon revealed significant division within the community. Proponents of fluoridation emphasized its benefits in preventing cavities, while opponents cited distrust and potential risks. The outcome reflects broader debates about public health interventions, with consequences for dental health becoming evident in non-fluoridated areas.
They did. A dentist said he noticed a difference. And a resident scoffed at people not trusting the government. That's what happened. What did you expect, that the city was going to use the opportunity to make objective measurements of the results of the switch in the overall population? Psh, c'mon, the guy's a member of the ADA!
Fluoride has been well studied and shown to decrease the IQ of children. Crazy that adding industrial byproducts to drinking water would have adverse effects... Must be because they care about our teeth so much =]
Nothing. They allude to a potential increase in cavities by citing a nearby town that is partially fluoridated...but this is misinformation. There could be confounding factors that account for that town's increased cavities...e.g. that town maybe poorer, eat more sugary foods, and has poorer personal hygiene habits. In other words, it is not an example of direct causation. This is not to say that there could be an increase in cavities. It is to say that they gave no actual evidence of any change...because there was no change to cite. I always drank (fluoridated) tap water in NY. Now in TX, I only drink bottled water. My teeth are none the worse for doing so.
Early-mid. When Gatorade pays its bribe money to the government and Trump appoints the CEO somewhere, our faucets pump Gatorade and we'll water our plants with Gatorade, and we told how toxic water is.
There was a mass grave from the great Lisbon earthquake of 1755 with 3000 sets of human remains discovered. No tooth decay. It was before granulated sugar existed.
Lol real food is cheaper than processed unhealthy food. Besides, are you advocating price controls? You'd prefer food shortages? Literally makes no sense. And dozens of people agreed with you yikes.
As someone who works in healthcare, I can attest that some of the stupidest people I have ever met were nurses. One time I went to transport a patient from one hospital to another and I saw that the patient was on oxygen. Naturally, since it's my job and duty to care for the patient, I need to know all relevant medical problems, and since anything airway related is critical, it's vital that I know why the patient was on oxygen. When I asked the nurse, she angrily replied "Why do you need to know that"? Another time I had a coworker who was in nursing school. We were transporting a patient with COPD to a nursing home from a hospital. We assisted the patient is standing and moving over to the gurney, but the effort made him out of breath. I turned up his oxygen just a little bit for a few minutes to help him catch his breath, but my coworker freaked out because the old knowledge was that if you give a COPD patient too much oxygen, they will stop breathing. I won't go into technical details as to why this happens, but the newer research shows this isn't a major concern in the field, and it certainly wouldn't be a concern in the situation with our patient. I tried to explain this to him, but he wouldn't listen, and he even went as far as to say he would never give hi-flow oxygen to a COPD patient even if they turned blue. If you're not in medicine, it might be hard to understand how stupid of a statement that is, but a close comparison would be to say not to give a heart attack patient CPR because they pulled their pec in the gym the other day. It got to the point where we had a respiratory therapist mediate and he agreed with my side. Even after that my coworker still tried to say he was right. Just because someone is a nurse, doesn't mean they're smart.
"If you trust the Government the consensus is clear" It's ok to trust the government if you feel they are trustworthy, once you realise that the Government don't have your best interests are heart then you will begin to question everything as you should, anything less results in tyranny.
Yep, what made me laugh was when the nurse in the video said "I can read". Another example was how the nurses at the University of Michigan refused a mandate to get vaccinated for COVID during the pandemic because of their union contract 🙄 Yeah, a lot of them thought they were smart because they could read conspiracy theories.
Germany & Sweden banned water fluoridation in 1971 due to public opposition and logistical challenges. The Netherlands banned water fluoridation in 1976 because it lacked proper legal basis. Denmark and Norway NEVER chose to fluoridate the water because they considered it unethical and administration of medication without authorization. Switzerland discontinued water fluoridation in 2003 because experts found that there was enough fluoride in toothpaste to meet citizen's needs.
@@Moosepants12 are you a chemist? Do you have any research that shows how fluoride provides ANY health benefits? Don't you think people have the right to choose if they want to take a fluoride supplement? I'm guessing you're cool with the government putting medication in your drinking water without your permission?
Hey leave the donuts alone, coffee and donuts were all the 1930's people had. We might need donuts down the road! When ancient Rome fell, it was lead in the silverware.
This is what's baffling to me. I don't know anyone that uses straight up tap water. In some areas, you should absolutely not drink your tap water unfiltered. That dentist mentioning his anecdotal observation.. I wonder what's different about the people in those areas. If one is affluent and the other swing a bit impoverished in comparison, diet may be the difference.
So it can be 'recycled' time and again... in ever- increasing concentrations... along with ALL the other heavy metals and chemicals they cannot REMOVE. (The other question is: WHY "recycle water, in wet wet places," like NW Oregon?!) It's almost like there's a consorted EFFORT to "poison" our water, food, soil and air... or something?! (And it doesn't require much 'digging' to SEE that's indeed, the case!)
@@EumelaninKnight Fluoride in fact, EATS your teeth... And (until recently) amalgam fillings were 48- 52% MERCURY! (Which causes the SAME "symptoms," as MS!) And what is the ONE metal (that's just below PLUTONIUM.. on the "hazardous to humans" list) that ISN'T 'regulated,' thanks to the US dental lobby and the OWNERS (a certain well known banking family, in Europe) of the mercury, mines, etc.? HOW this isn't "common knowledge" yet, shows just how "censured" info IS in the US! (Because fluoride has long... been BANNED almost everywhere else, WORLDWIDE!)
Taking your "toxic waste and reselling it" in: building materials, water treatments, and "fracking fluid, to fertilizer, etc. 'additives...' is a long stand game play, for big industry. ("You just can't make this stuff UP..." as they say!)
When the Aluminum Factory started up in my community during the late 60's the dairy farm cows downwind lost their teeth. Took a decade in court to force them to install scrubbers. My daughter received some of the first fluoride treatments (painted on the teeth) and as an adult had holes in her enamel from the flouride. Cities are paid to take the treatment in the water. They took a problem and health risk and turned it into a money maker! Sound familiar?!
So what happened when Lebanon removed fluoride? You didn't tell us. You told us what was going on in Hillsboro, another town that "isn't fully fluoridated". And what does "isn't FULLY fluoridated" mean???
Hillsboro, Oregon is a (West Coast old) small city that began as a hub for local pioneer farmers and is now a large suburb of the Portland Metro area (~2.5M pop). Hillsboro water is mostly supplied by a town water bureau and a county water bureau, but there is also a very large rural area using individual wells and there are multiple small water districts. Each of these water sources follows different water rules, so determining whether or not a person receives fluoridated water during their day is difficult to measure with certainty.
It means the towns water is delivered by two separate systems, one part by one system, the other part by another system. One of those systems has fluoride added, the other does not.
They didn't say anything of course. I can tell you what happens in Dominican Republic. No much of a difference at all in dental decay but we don't have stuff like IBS and Crohn's disease plaguing us or bunch of weirdly diagnosed autoimmune diseases. What JFK is proposing is not to get rid of it completely but for us who don't want fluoride in their water to have that choice, right now I have to buy baby water to be able to avoid it here. That begs the question, if it is so safe, why baby water doesn't have it?
In most European Countries we do not add fluoride to the water but use toothpaste with fluoride which has the same benefit for the teeth. In this way we do not contaminate our drinking water with a chemical that does not naturally occur in these quantities in water. While it is debatable if fluoride could have harmful effects, we just follow the rule "if in doubt, don't do it". Considering the large amounts of sugar consumed in the US I would rather take action against the enormous sugar consumption instead of fighting the resulting tooth problems with a chemical added to drinking water. I am quite concerned about some opinions of Mr. Kennedy but stopping fluoride addition to tap water would be my least worry.
We started adding fluoride after observing the rate of cavities in places where it does occur naturally in ground water. (I think it was Colorado Springs.). I do know that the two years I lived in Leadville, another place it occurs naturally, I didn’t have a single cavity.
@@rabidsamfan they found out its effects on tooth decay due to industrial waste dumping of fluoride which is a waste by product of certain mining industries into the rivers

Didn't it show a sign saying "0 sugar?" The artificial sweeteners and other stuff in processed foods can be worse than sugar. Just look at the ingredients on everything and see how much "high fructose corn syrup" is in almost everything that kids eat.
@@RevTox Then people say, oh well, artificial sweeteners are worse, I'll just go back to the sugar. The equivalent of stopping chugging lighter fluid and gulping down gasoline.
I live in Eugene, Oregon, which has some of the cleanest tap water in the nation and has never been fluoridated. For my entire life as a child, my entire family drank water straight from the tap. We all used the exact same brand of (non-fluoridated) toothpaste and we all had the same brushing/flossing habits. I have never had a cavity. Some of my siblings have had multiple cavities. At the end of the day, no matter how clean your water is and no matter how much you brush and floss, your biology might simply mean that the level of acidity of the saliva in your mouth makes you more prone to cavities than other people. Since no one can know for sure if that applies to them until later in life, it's best to use a little fluoride toothpaste to prevent more serious damage down the road. Any potential toxicity of fluoride is far outweighed by the detrimental health effects of cavities and tooth and gum decay.
The nurse at the start is "so concerned about her and her kids health" yet they are all overweight as though they guzzle mcdonalds and pure processed sugar all day. Def someone to get sound health advice from
Why listen to public health professionals when you can listen to uneducated, entitled yt moms 🤷🏻♀️ who think they know better because they can find peer reviewed articles online…
I worked in a chemical warehouse and whenever we had to load fluoride we were required to wear gloves and a respirator before loading because it was clearly labeled as a poison.
You know, there is a vast difference between pure concentrated fluoride in a tank, and a small trace amount in water, right? There is Cyanide in apple seeds, but I'm pretty sure you've swallowed a few of those in your lifetime and came out ok. Literally everywhere they stop adding fluoride, there is a documented increase in tooth decay and other dental issues. But oddly enough, there is no correlative increase in population intelligence or rational thinking. It's almost like the amount in water we use to help our teeth isn't enough to effect neurology, even when we drink it daily. Crazy, huh?
It's the concentration that makes something poisonous. Electricity works the same way; you can put a 9v battery on your tongue and it just tingles a bit and won't hurt you. Put 3-phase 480V on your tongue and you're gonna go meet Jesus in a big hurry.
I don't trust ANYONE automatically. I certainly don't trust ignorant anti-government demagogues since I've had a lifetime of observing what loons most of them are.
i dont know why you would need to put flouride in the water ... you can buy toothpaste with flouride in it so you can use it for what its good for and not drink it.
Just a little bit of serious research lays to rest that Flouride is a neurotoxin. You can dumb down and render an entire civilization obedient with Flouride...oh wait, is that what's happening....
It’s especially necessary in lower income areas or rural areas with less access to regular dental care. We could have universal healthcare and then I’d have no problem pulling it.
This question has been answered endlessly, and for decades now, if you actually looked. Instead, you just have to act like you're the first person to ever think of it. Lordy lord, the dumbo's are out tonight.
So there is only one dentist who was willing to go on and say well I see a difference in cavities without showing us the evidence? Maybe none of the other dentists wanted to speak because they know fluoride in the water is a scam.
@jeremyhall2727 ? No. Not in small Dosis. For example in Sweden is Flouride in drinking Water. They are not les healthyer then Germans. In Germany it's a rule that a Baby can drink the water without any cautius. Flouride is not =Flour.
Because Germany provide excellent dental healthcare where that isn’t the case in the US. Most poor people do NOT have access to a dentist or regular cleanings.
Dude. I'm reading Metabolical. It is all about how sick we are, how bad we eat, and how our morbidity has gone down while diabetes, cancer etc is goung up exponentially.
Dementia Alzheimer’s was just classified as type 3 diabetes. What can we expect from the same people who said OxyContin was less addictive? They also synthesized fentanyl and sold the recipe to China. Time to end all government regulations in my humble opinion.
It’s deliberately made addictive. Feel like the least we could to is to make it impossible to buy junk food with food stamps. That way I feel like I’m helping when I pay taxes instead of co-signing bad habits that are hurting us all.
@danbul5853 If you don't know it's a lie and click on it, like everyone who has watched this pathetic video, it is click bait. If it is click bait, it will always be click bait.
Am American living in France for 15 yesrs where there is no flouride in water...my dental health has improved -no cavities or any issues since living here like I used to regularly have.
You moved to France and the only difference between your life there and your life here is is that there isn't fluoride in the water. N=1 scientist saves the day again.
I have spent my entire life living in rural areas and drinking well water with no fluoride as did my entire family including grandparents. Our teeth are fine. Even if you don't have Florida in your water you still get lots of fluoride from foods and drinks and bread or anything made with water in it because they use water with fluoride. Somehow I think when they dig up a 10,000 year old skull with a full set of nice teeth that person who lived so long ago didn't have fluoride.
Do you know for sure you didn't have fluoride in your water? I also grew up on well water, but i have fluorosis discoloration in my teeth either from naturally occurring fluoride compounds in the local groundwater or possibly high fluoride levels in the nearby town where i went to school. Did you go to school in a town? There was probably fluoride in that water. I'm 36, with teeth like diamonds, i've never had a cavity, and i'm also at least of average intelligence, working as a mechanical engineer for going on 15 yr.
The fluoride probably helps destroy the pipes -- releasing the lead. Also -- NO. *TAKE THE GODDAMNED NEUROTOXIC POISON **_OUT OF THE WATER._** PERIOD.*
The fluoride is deliberately added in many communities. Ending that practice would (after the already-fluoridated water has been used and removed from the system) eliminate the excess fluoride from the water. Removing lead is more difficult, since it requires replacing pipes in peoples' houses).
But that then denies those of us who want that help. There are water purification systems that will remove floride from water, but I'm unaware of system that will add it back in at the home level.
People in some mountain areas of the world have never had sugar they have perfect teeth. Same in ancient days. Oh, and when ancient Rome fell it was the lead in the silverware.
We don’t have fluoride in our water in Hawaii. I grew up in New Mexico. I didn’t get cavities till I lived here for awhile but I attribute it more to getting older. It would be interesting to do a study here on dental health. I remember the dentist suggesting I get some type of fluoride for my son. I believe it should be in toothpaste that gets spit out. I don’t know what ingesting it does. Most of all though……Trump’s picks for powerful positions are insanely unqualified
Yes, they did, that was why they showed the excerpts from the interview with the dentist toward the end of the video. The residents are getting more, and larger cavities in their teeth now.
This could be such a slam bunk for those that want the water fluorinated. If there isn't any clear evidence that it does or doesn't work. Why are we still experimenting on the public? I really don't like that thought process, but it is valid. If you want public trust, maybe being transparent would help. Personally, I'm going to drink whatever water is available, fluorided or not.
The "news" didn't show a single peer-reviewed journal entry showing the safety or effectiveness of adding fluoride to the water - much like they did with the other thing they said was "safe and effective." They just got one "expert" to come and say the people had more cavities, from what he saw.
@@RevToxBut listening to that lady who read some stuff, but isn't herself an expert in chemistry or biology or medicine or dental medicine is the be all and end all of your argument. Yes she's a nurse, but I too went through nursing school. Nurses are not experts in any of the above. Thanks, but I'll put my trust in experts, facts & supporting data, and the scientific method. If new data proves the prior to be wrong, then it too must pass the same rigorous testing under scientific method.
@@masonite1973 IT IS ALREADY DONE BY CHOICE! Democratically elected control of civic water systems MADE the choice seventy years ago based upon public opinion and it is NOT PROVEN that they were wrong!..........................elsullo
By mere coincidence, I just finished the new book (2024) entitled 'Blind Spots--when medicine gets it wrong' by Marty Makary, MD. He touches on this topic briefly (pg 199-200). In short, fluoride also damages important microbes (bacteria) in the gut that can lead to things far worse than cavities. A bit surprising this wasn't even mentioned in this video.
Like so many others, this debate is taking on a liberal/conservative dialectic, and once again we may be surprised to see how “conservatively” US liberals are reacting. Just because something has been widely practiced for over 70 years, this does not mean we cannot look at it again with an objective viewpoint. Again, we see the people who are “misinformed” are those making exactly this accusation against those who disagree with them. An “informed” person would be one who recognizes that most European countries and the UK have never added fluoride to their water, or have discontinued it long ago, and yet their juvenile dental health has improved over the past decades in a manner similar to that of the US. This does not discount the value of fluoride in dental pathology prevention, but strongly indicates better hygiene awareness and topical applications of fluoride in toothpaste play an equally important role. What is undeniable is that the difference between a normal therapeutic dose (0.7ppm) and a dangerous dose (1.4ppm) recognized by all experts, is far too close to administer generally. Medicines distributed without prescription have at least a safety factor of 1:50 between a recommended dose and a dangerous dose, and any medicine that comes even close to a 1:2 ratio is to be administered under close medical supervision - probably in a hospital environment where dosage may be closely controlled. My own initial reaction to Kennedy’s assertions was similar to other libs, “This is just conspiracy trash” but unlike so many people I am not afraid to actually look at the claims and evaluate them open-mindedly. When I realized the ratio of recommended to dangerous dosage - not disputed by fluoride advocates, I understood Kennedy is correct. This is an intolerable risk for general distribution.
Fluoride is good for your teeth but not for the rest of your body. Put it in your toothpaste but not your drinking water. People should be able to choose.
Rainalot: Guess all that rain diluted ur brain cells. The whole scam was created to help dispose of excess fluoride from aluminum production. Make sure u wash down ur gmo foods with plenty of fluoro water, while being triple boosted. 😂😂
I doubt it's even good for teeth! After all these years with fluoride in the water and toothpaste, every year the incidence of tooth decay rises in children!
So fluoride is where they draw the line when companies dump forever chemicals and other stuff that definitely are linked to cancer and other issues. 😂 like the same people have been eating lead paint chips, asbestos and other things for half their life.
That's not really a good argument because you're implying that fluoride isn't dangerous in comparison to Teflon that DuPont dumped in the water or other agents that have been released into the waterways. Obviously fluoride is linked to lower IQ's in children & adults in America, as well as compromised immune systems and skeletal abnormalities during development. It also effects neurological function regarding stress management and critical thinking. The point is, we should argue that clean water is a priority and ALL parties caught dumping agents in the water should be held accountable.
You can get fluoride in food and toothpaste if you choose. It doesn't have to be in ALL of drinking water. Allow each individual to choose. True freedom! 🌎💛
I'm in favor of fluoridation, but that doesn't really matter since I seldom drink tap water anyway. Our water here is hard, and it dramatically increases the risk of getting kidney stones. That's another reason to drink purified water.
Plastics are a major problem because of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs), but fluoride is by no means safe. EDCs interfere with hormone function and have been linked to conditions such as infertility, diabetes, and immune deficiencies, while fluoride damages cognitive and thyroid functions. There are even multiple studies that show fluoride being noticeably harmful below the 0.7 ppm in our water supply. JAMA Pediatrics Study (2019), Meta-Analysis by Harvard Researchers (2012), and the US National Toxicology Program (NTP) Review are a few.
This report talks about 2 different chemicals as if they are the same. Floride and hydrofloric acid. Also find me a study that says drinking fluoride is good for your teeth
Don't need to. I grew up on fluoridated water and had an average amount of cavities. My friend Ernie, who has lived on well water ALL of his life, his teeth are either yellow or black.
I met Ernie when I worked at a fire station way out in the boonies, and when I say far out, I mean way way out. I mean Hunger Games level, wherein people fish for their dinner on a daily basis. There is a small town nearby that has their own water well and very limited public utilities. If you don't live in a 3.5 square mile area, you have to depend on your own well to drink water and wash items-like clothes and dishes. You don't have to be a edjoomakated ijiot with multiple degrees to see that dental and medical health are lacking because some folks come to the fire station for free medical care. I don't know what state you live in, but you should drive out to a very rural area and talk to the emergency medical people in that area. It will save the inflated cost of bringing in edjoomakated ijiots to see what a six year old can see.
@@The_Dudester I live in a rural area with a well I have zero cavities. I brush my teeth. So explain to e why I don't have teeth like ernies? Is it possible that ernie didn't have good hygiene is it possible that he liked sugary suff more than you let's look into his genes is he predisposed to bad dental outcomes?
Exactly! Can you believe fhey STILL get away with putting that known toxin in water systems and some people are stupid enough to think it’s safe to drink it! 😂 crazy world
I have both county water and well water. The county water tastes like water coming out of a cheap water-hose and it smells, the well water is fine, no problems.
This is such an important point that too many people don't pay attention to. They see the studies (which are done in places where the fluoride levels are about twice or more than what is allowed in the US) and they see the care that is taken when handling the additive (which is highly concentrated) and conflate that with what causes harm. We know that something is only toxic when it is higher than the dose needed for therapeutic results. Everything that is in our environment has limits to what is safe (including how much pure water one can safely drink). For some things, even minute amounts can be dangerous (such as lead which people don't seem to realize is *far* more dangerous than fluoride and is in the water far too often) and for others, it takes a larger amount. For instance, if you have heart disease, you may need to have digoxin to keep your heart working properly. But if you take more than the prescription says or if the dose is not properly monitored and your dose is too high, you will have toxicity. I've read many of the studies, especially the one in JAMA Pediatrics recently that analyzes a long list of other studies on the subject. One of the things that disturbed me and was *not* addressed in any way is other things that could have been in the same water. In the US, the level is set at 0.7 mg/L. Even the articles which say fluoride is bad, say that if the level is less than 1.5 mg/L (more than *double* what the US uses), it's not a problem. But the water only is tested for fluoride. What about the lead levels in that same water (as we know that even 0.015 mg/L levels of lead are damaging to the brain)? What about the levels of PFAS in that water? And many places that have high levels of fluoride in the water (either naturally or because their government puts more into the water than would be allowed by the US) often also has high lead levels.
I am so incredibly shocked and appalled that so many people here in the comments are so pro fluoride.... It ironically shows me that the fluoride is doing it's main job, which is to make ya'll stupid AF.
It's from life long indoctrination, they have cognitive dissonance because they can't allow themselves to entertain the idea that they were lied too because people like to think they are smarter than they are. The facts are it's a neurotoxin and all the studies, including government funded ones, show it is dangerous to your health and is proven to lower IQ. The dumbest part is they argue it hardens your teeth then completely ignore the fact that they are ingesting it and not doing topical applications. It's sad how dumb people are getting.
Yep. I was shocked to hear from this video that the US has fluoride in the drinking water. I didn't know that. And yes...no wonder they are having so many problems. It prevents the brain from developing at an early stage. It's poison.
@@PenneySoundsI want to know why the govenrnment cares soooo much about American's teeth but completely drop the ball in other areas of healthcare? The level of concern seems disproportionate to the relative importance to other areas of healthcare. Heck, I'd like to know why you care. Many european countries have much stricter regulations on what can be put into food, yet do not flouridate their water. The amount of absolute garbage that is allowed to be put into American food is appalling, yet everybody's taking a hard pro fluoride stance. Why so invested? It's not like the government really cares about it's people, the evidence clearly shows that. So where does this concern come from?
I love how they don't mention lead until 10 seconds before the end. It's okay, if you leave decaying lead pipes everywhere people will be too stupid to care about fluoride.
The soda companies aren't paid by government (via taxpayers) to pump soda into your home while a government agency recommends you drink at least 8 cups a day of it.
The average American uses 82 gallons of water per day with most of that water not being consumed. It is a waste of resources (chemical production) and money to add fluoride to the water you use for your lawn, dishwasher and washing machine.
@CaptainKremmen giving a tube of toothpaste out with food stamps or anyone that coukd show a reason would be far cheaper and not expose the masses. You really think your dog, cat and goldfish need fluoride? How about your lawn and garden? You are probably not aware but there is fluoride in most food products you buy as well, but nobody can tell you how much, abd therefore nobody can even give a reasonable guess as to how much fluoride a person has consumed in any day. Name one other substance that is prescribed not based on weight, but based on how much tape water you consume
Given by your pfp, one might estimate that: you don't want to be fed loads upon loads of information that you don't understand despite how much it pertains to what you're demanding. You probably want a simple explanation that you can understand that also doesn't challenge your current world view too much that you get mad and just ignore it altogether, because *you will not comply* by calming down and be more open to learning things you do not know. The fact that you just assume "the gov'ment" is just putting tons of harmful chemicals into the water as if -- cigarettes weren't already legal -- shows how little you really care about the subject. Did you even pay attention to the parts where they mention that there's a safe amount you can consume, or are you just like RFK Jr., who won't hesitate to release deadly viruses into the environment because "hurr derr vAcCiNeS r BaD"?
Fluoride is naturally in all water sources. The fluoridation process isn't about adding something that isn't there, it's about getting what's already there to optimal levels. In some places that means adding more, and in others that means taking some out.
Germany, Finland, Japan, Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland, have all stopped using fluoride in its water. My town in Nova Scotia, Canada does not use it, and only a few communities in BC add fluoride. The thing is that fluoride Is/can be found naturally in ground water at different concentrations depending on the location. So having a blanket .7 ml added cannot be good. It would be much higher in some areas than the "suggested amount" also naturally found fluoride in water is not the same as the chemical fluoride we add.
Yes, the fluoride added to water supplies comes from fertilizer plants and is a toxic waste product. It would cost the companies a lot of money to properly dispose of it, yet somehow they sell it to cities and make profits, and it gets "disposed of" through human bodies!
As a 63yo retired plumber, after I prayer about my health, the Lord told me to, Stop drinking the tap water. So I started to drink Australian spring water as I had breathing trouble walking up stairs etc, a week later my breathing health improved. It affects your B12 in grabbing your oxiden and putting it in to your blood. Australia has a massive B12 deficiency here. I am a testimony of this. God bless. Philip Norman Bradley. Ambassador for Christ in Australia.
What the news media won't tell you is that the fluoride in your toothpaste is not the same as the fluoride in your tap water. The fluoride in your toothpaste is sodium fluoride (NaF) while the fluoride in your tap water is hydrofluorosilicic acid (HFS)
It is the quantity/level, and route of exposure, not necessarily the specific chemical that constitutes a risk. Ingesting too much water will cause water intoxication and can easily become lethal. Nutmeg becomes toxic at 1 to 2 tsps. Relatively modest doses of salt have been reported to cause fatality. In two children, the lethal dose was estimated to be less than 10 g of sodium (less than five teaspoons of salt) and the lethal dose was estimated to be less than 25 g sodium in four adults (less than four tablespoons of salt). Point is, just because you need PPE to handle something, doesn't exclude it from being safe in appropriate exposure levels.
@@moldycat4852 We the people do. If there’s even the process and convo of starting to clean up the toxic, trust them even more so now. In the interests of the people!
Ya, people do that. The bigger issue is with kids or people without access to dental care. It’s a public health intervention because the “just brush your teeth” messaging doesn’t fix growing up poor or rural.
@@moldycat4852 Just give out toothpaste and tooth brushes at school, problem solved. I don't want to be ingesting fluoride, it doesn't really touch your teeth when you drink it. Crazy.
@ So much opinion here based on nothing. All of this has been researched and published for decades now, if you care to look for some facts. Briefly, it is important to ingest fluoride to gain the most benefit. Especially for growing children, because that fluoride is incorporated into developing tooth enamel, thereby making it resistant to acid (acid dissolution is essentially what decay is), Topical flouride, as in applied to the surface of the teeth has a vastly smaller benefit. I hope I didn't use any words too big for you :)
@ democracy is dead. My family immigrated to the US 35 years ago thinking hey, America could be a great place to raise children. This right here along with everything else that will happen including Trump vowing to deport naturalized citizens like me makes me want to reconsider living here
@@steveturner726 so you’re okay with Trump deporting me although I’m a naturalized citizen and have lived here in the US for over 20 years paying my taxes, going to school here, getting my masters and establishing my career?
It is a dangerous waste biproduct that they didn't know how to get rid of. So some brilliant idiot said like use it in toothpaste and our water sources. It is dangerous. Proven another government cover up naturally
This is an excellent decision. Kids are exposed to so much fluoride that they now develop dental fluorisis, in moderate and severe forms which used to be rare, and cause permanent structural damage to the teeth.
All fluoridation of water supplies must end! Not only is it the application of medication without consent but is simply not necessary. We do not want fluoride in our bodies. For those who believe it helps tooth decay (caused by sugars) they can use fluoridated toothpaste.
yes yes yes. If people, on top of fluoride in toothpastes and such, want to drink it (!!!), let them use little tablets or something. It's incomprehensible that a "free society" like the US concluded everybody should be drinking it
Big difference between rinse and spit and consuming it over and over in your drinking water; tea, coffee and anything else it gets added to. How hard is it to differentiate between spitting and swallowing? Your moms knew.
The difference is much bigger than this even. Sodium Fluoride, used in dental practices and toothpaste, is safe to use in small amounts. Hydrofluorosilicic acid, which is being added to the water supply, is a neurotoxin.
Not only that, the safe amount for babies vs toddlers vs children vs adults is vastly different, and it is disproportionally more toxic the younger you are. Subsidize toothpaste and dental care before assuming putting it in the water is a one size fits all solution. That's like saying every medication should only have one dosage level, no matter what your individual health, medical conditions, other medicines you're currently on, weight, height, etc. You get the maximum dose or no dose, regardless of all other factors.....
You can get fluoride drops that you add to a drink once a day if your city votes it down but you want it for your family. We won't see the results of the lack of fluoride until the damage is done. All four of my grandparents had dentures.
Fluoride does *NOT* prevent tooth decay. It is not allowed in the EU & they have the rates of tooth decay as the U.S. BTW, sugar causes tooth decay, that is a known scientific fact.
The editor has found its intended victim. It is all in the dose. He has a bucket of fluoride about to be dissolved in a lake - That is a pretty low concentration
Why those two with their wise comments definitely providing a sample case on the argument that fluoride affecta the brain and the ability of free comprehension.
"New age" science: a corporate news media gives a megaphone to a "Dr" who's willing to propagate their narative in return for being seen on TV (and perhaps having more customers). Every sane person should weep for real science and objectivity. We are not too far from watering the farmlands with Gatorade.
I'm bewildered in this day and age, especially when we have the sum of human knowledge at our fingertips with these smart devices, that people don't know the difference between Sodium and Calcium Fluoride. What are we going to do with all that lovely industrial waste if we can't put it in our drinking water?
If you get a fluoride coating on your teeth, I understand why that could help. But adding it to public water that most people only use for bathing, washing, and watering plants, that's just a waste of flouride, and it's not healthy to swallow it.
Some of the flouride - a neurotoxim - is a biproduct of manufacturing certain fertilizers. it's a hazardous waste disposal fee of feed it to people and get paid to get rid of it. Mmmm. yummy capitalism.
@@alomaalber6514then why isn’t she more concerned about things like lead and chlorine? Both are bad, one is still in the water because of capitalism and the other probably as well. Other countries have made lead pipes illegal decades ago and there are also countries, do not regularly chlorinate their water, but only under special circumstances like a suspected broken pipe.

Floride is not good for your Pineal Gland. You can remineralize your teeth. Try activated charcoal and plenty of brands out there. Also If it’s for cavities then you should be doing oil pulling and making sure you brush after your meals and stop eating late at night. Fluoride will not prevent cavities. Remineralize and brush your tongue gums and teeth better
Removing fluoride is a good thing. I use flourude free toothpaste. Flourude affects your pineal gland, which dims your senses, intuition. There was a documentary I viewed.

75 years ago, before the masses were taught to brush their teeth, tooth decay was rampant. Never before RIGHT NOW have so many educated people lived so freely and so abundantly. And for just 19 years, we have been connected to a Shared Worldwide Experience with near-instant communication. It is GUARANTEED to wake "THIS" generation up. The sky has opened to reveal a billion galaxies with perhaps a trillion planets populated by children of God, Creator of all the Universe.
Here is chat GPT response on the subject. 👇 The negative effects of low-dose fluoride exposure can include dental fluorosis, which may cause enamel discoloration in developing teeth, and potential endocrine disruption affecting thyroid function. There are also ongoing concerns about possible neurological impacts in children, though research in this area is not yet conclusive.
Here is another answer from GPT... excess fluoride in the diet can potentially affect the thyroid gland, as fluoride ions (F⁻) may interfere with iodine uptake, which is essential for proper thyroid function. This is due to the similar chemical properties of fluoride and iodine, both of which are halogens in the same group of the periodic table.
after watching the entire report, i can't tell you what happened when a town removed flouride from its water.
Yeah, like this is actual news these days... Lots of talk, zero answers or conclusions.
That's okay, keep trying.
Thanks for saving me 5 minutes ;)
Have you watched the whole clip? This is not TikTok, the video goes beyond 15 seconds. The answer is tooth decay, at least for now.
The report provides insights into what happened in Lebanon, Oregon, after the town voted to remove fluoride from its water supply. Here's a summary of the key points:
What Happened When Fluoride Was Removed?
Catalyst for the Removal:
Increased water turbidity due to a nearby reservoir issue brought public attention to the water supply.
Residents, led by groups citing fluoride risks, campaigned against fluoridation using documents and studies, some of which were controversial or contradictory to mainstream science.
Community Vote:
The debate divided the town, with some citing health concerns and government overreach as reasons to remove fluoride.
The city council ultimately held a vote, and by a slim margin, residents chose to stop fluoridating their water.
Impact on Dental Health:
Dentists noted a higher prevalence and severity of cavities in areas without fluoridated water, comparing Lebanon to nearby towns still using fluoride.
Fluoride's established benefits for preventing tooth decay were cited by organizations like the American Dental Association (ADA).
Arguments Against Fluoride:
Opponents expressed concerns about fluoride as a "toxic chemical" and cited studies suggesting potential neurotoxicity.
Mistrust of government and public health institutions fueled skepticism about the safety and necessity of fluoridation.
Arguments for Fluoride:
Advocates emphasized fluoride’s 75-year history of reducing tooth decay by at least 25%.
Dental professionals argued it is safe at recommended levels (0.7 mg/L) and cost-effective for improving public health.
Broader Implications:
The removal sparked wider discussions on water fluoridation in other towns, showing a divide between scientific consensus and public perception.
It highlighted the challenges of balancing public health recommendations with individual choice and trust in institutions.
Conclusion:
The removal of fluoride in Lebanon revealed significant division within the community. Proponents of fluoridation emphasized its benefits in preventing cavities, while opponents cited distrust and potential risks. The outcome reflects broader debates about public health interventions, with consequences for dental health becoming evident in non-fluoridated areas.
soooooo…can you tell us ”what happened when a town removed fluoride from its water” PLEASE??
Cavities. More and larger compared to similar sized towns in the area.
They did. A dentist said he noticed a difference. And a resident scoffed at people not trusting the government. That's what happened. What did you expect, that the city was going to use the opportunity to make objective measurements of the results of the switch in the overall population? Psh, c'mon, the guy's a member of the ADA!
Fluoride has been well studied and shown to decrease the IQ of children. Crazy that adding industrial byproducts to drinking water would have adverse effects... Must be because they care about our teeth so much =]
@@user-pp4lx3bt1o Get it applied to your teeth, then. Why apply it to every cell in your body?
Nothing.
They allude to a potential increase in cavities by citing a nearby town that is partially fluoridated...but this is misinformation.
There could be confounding factors that account for that town's increased cavities...e.g. that town maybe poorer, eat more sugary foods, and has poorer personal hygiene habits. In other words, it is not an example of direct causation.
This is not to say that there could be an increase in cavities. It is to say that they gave no actual evidence of any change...because there was no change to cite.
I always drank (fluoridated) tap water in NY. Now in TX, I only drink bottled water. My teeth are none the worse for doing so.
The real question is, are we in the early, middle, or late stages of Idiocracy?

LOL!

I bet you if they instead made their population able to afford *real* food, cavities would decrease even more.
There was a mass grave from the great Lisbon earthquake of 1755 with 3000 sets of human remains discovered. No tooth decay. It was before granulated sugar existed.

As someone who works in healthcare, I can attest that some of the stupidest people I have ever met were nurses. One time I went to transport a patient from one hospital to another and I saw that the patient was on oxygen. Naturally, since it's my job and duty to care for the patient, I need to know all relevant medical problems, and since anything airway related is critical, it's vital that I know why the patient was on oxygen. When I asked the nurse, she angrily replied "Why do you need to know that"?
Another time I had a coworker who was in nursing school. We were transporting a patient with COPD to a nursing home from a hospital. We assisted the patient is standing and moving over to the gurney, but the effort made him out of breath. I turned up his oxygen just a little bit for a few minutes to help him catch his breath, but my coworker freaked out because the old knowledge was that if you give a COPD patient too much oxygen, they will stop breathing. I won't go into technical details as to why this happens, but the newer research shows this isn't a major concern in the field, and it certainly wouldn't be a concern in the situation with our patient.
I tried to explain this to him, but he wouldn't listen, and he even went as far as to say he would never give hi-flow oxygen to a COPD patient even if they turned blue. If you're not in medicine, it might be hard to understand how stupid of a statement that is, but a close comparison would be to say not to give a heart attack patient CPR because they pulled their pec in the gym the other day. It got to the point where we had a respiratory therapist mediate and he agreed with my side. Even after that my coworker still tried to say he was right.
Just because someone is a nurse, doesn't mean they're smart.
I've heard some really dumb stuff from nurses.
"If you trust the Government the consensus is clear"
It's ok to trust the government if you feel they are trustworthy, once you realise that the Government don't have your best interests are heart then you will begin to question everything as you should, anything less results in tyranny.
They ain't all angels either, although many are.
B-but they know about Habermas.....
( 🙄 )
Yep, what made me laugh was when the nurse in the video said "I can read". Another example was how the nurses at the University of Michigan refused a mandate to get vaccinated for COVID during the pandemic because of their union contract 🙄 Yeah, a lot of them thought they were smart because they could read conspiracy theories.
Germany & Sweden banned water fluoridation in 1971 due to public opposition and logistical challenges. The Netherlands banned water fluoridation in 1976 because it lacked proper legal basis. Denmark and Norway NEVER chose to fluoridate the water because they considered it unethical and administration of medication without authorization. Switzerland discontinued water fluoridation in 2003 because experts found that there was enough fluoride in toothpaste to meet citizen's needs.
Have you seen their teeth?
You neglect to mention that almost all of them now ADD FLUORIDE TO THEIR TABLE SALT. Like we Americans do with Iodine..........................elsullo

Less than 10% of tap water is consumed. Why spend millions fluoridating laundry, showers and lawns?
This is what's baffling to me. I don't know anyone that uses straight up tap water. In some areas, you should absolutely not drink your tap water unfiltered. That dentist mentioning his anecdotal observation.. I wonder what's different about the people in those areas. If one is affluent and the other swing a bit impoverished in comparison, diet may be the difference.
So it can be 'recycled' time and again... in ever- increasing concentrations... along with ALL the other heavy metals and chemicals they cannot REMOVE. (The other question is: WHY "recycle water, in wet wet places," like NW Oregon?!) It's almost like there's a consorted EFFORT to "poison" our water, food, soil and air... or something?! (And it doesn't require much 'digging' to SEE that's indeed, the case!)
@@williamtiffee3799 All water is recycled my the reality of physics. Some call Mother Nature.
@@EumelaninKnight Fluoride in fact, EATS your teeth... And (until recently) amalgam fillings were 48- 52% MERCURY! (Which causes the SAME "symptoms," as MS!) And what is the ONE metal (that's just below PLUTONIUM.. on the "hazardous to humans" list) that ISN'T 'regulated,' thanks to the US dental lobby and the OWNERS (a certain well known banking family, in Europe) of the mercury, mines, etc.? HOW this isn't "common knowledge" yet, shows just how "censured" info IS in the US! (Because fluoride has long... been BANNED almost everywhere else, WORLDWIDE!)
Taking your "toxic waste and reselling it" in: building materials, water treatments, and "fracking fluid, to fertilizer, etc. 'additives...' is a long stand game play, for big industry. ("You just can't make this stuff UP..." as they say!)
When the Aluminum Factory started up in my community during the late 60's the dairy farm cows downwind lost their teeth. Took a decade in court to force them to install scrubbers. My daughter received some of the first fluoride treatments (painted on the teeth) and as an adult had holes in her enamel from the flouride. Cities are paid to take the treatment in the water. They took a problem and health risk and turned it into a money maker! Sound familiar?!
So what happened when Lebanon removed fluoride? You didn't tell us. You told us what was going on in Hillsboro, another town that "isn't fully fluoridated". And what does "isn't FULLY fluoridated" mean???
It only happened a few months ago. They will likely not revisit this until at least a _year_ has gone by.
Hillsboro, Oregon is a (West Coast old) small city that began as a hub for local pioneer farmers and is now a large suburb of the Portland Metro area (~2.5M pop). Hillsboro water is mostly supplied by a town water bureau and a county water bureau, but there is also a very large rural area using individual wells and there are multiple small water districts. Each of these water sources follows different water rules, so determining whether or not a person receives fluoridated water during their day is difficult to measure with certainty.
It means the towns water is delivered by two separate systems, one part by one system, the other part by another system. One of those systems has fluoride added, the other does not.
The DENTIST said the cavities were BIGGER😧🙆
They didn't say anything of course. I can tell you what happens in Dominican Republic. No much of a difference at all in dental decay but we don't have stuff like IBS and Crohn's disease plaguing us or bunch of weirdly diagnosed autoimmune diseases. What JFK is proposing is not to get rid of it completely but for us who don't want fluoride in their water to have that choice, right now I have to buy baby water to be able to avoid it here. That begs the question, if it is so safe, why baby water doesn't have it?
In most European Countries we do not add fluoride to the water but use toothpaste with fluoride which has the same benefit for the teeth. In this way we do not contaminate our drinking water with a chemical that does not naturally occur in these quantities in water. While it is debatable if fluoride could have harmful effects, we just follow the rule "if in doubt, don't do it". Considering the large amounts of sugar consumed in the US I would rather take action against the enormous sugar consumption instead of fighting the resulting tooth problems with a chemical added to drinking water. I am quite concerned about some opinions of Mr. Kennedy but stopping fluoride addition to tap water would be my least worry.
We started adding fluoride after observing the rate of cavities in places where it does occur naturally in ground water. (I think it was Colorado Springs.). I do know that the two years I lived in Leadville, another place it occurs naturally, I didn’t have a single cavity.
Actually fluoride does naturally occur in drinking water in some areas that is how they discovered its effects on tooth decay…
@@rabidsamfan they found out its effects on tooth decay due to industrial waste dumping of fluoride which is a waste by product of certain mining industries into the rivers

@@MetalGearsOfThoughtNo it would be the opposite
I live in Eugene, Oregon, which has some of the cleanest tap water in the nation and has never been fluoridated. For my entire life as a child, my entire family drank water straight from the tap. We all used the exact same brand of (non-fluoridated) toothpaste and we all had the same brushing/flossing habits. I have never had a cavity. Some of my siblings have had multiple cavities. At the end of the day, no matter how clean your water is and no matter how much you brush and floss, your biology might simply mean that the level of acidity of the saliva in your mouth makes you more prone to cavities than other people. Since no one can know for sure if that applies to them until later in life, it's best to use a little fluoride toothpaste to prevent more serious damage down the road. Any potential toxicity of fluoride is far outweighed by the detrimental health effects of cavities and tooth and gum decay.
The nurse at the start is "so concerned about her and her kids health" yet they are all overweight as though they guzzle mcdonalds and pure processed sugar all day. Def someone to get sound health advice from

I worked in a chemical warehouse and whenever we had to load fluoride we were required to wear gloves and a respirator before loading because it was clearly labeled as a poison.
You know, there is a vast difference between pure concentrated fluoride in a tank, and a small trace amount in water, right? There is Cyanide in apple seeds, but I'm pretty sure you've swallowed a few of those in your lifetime and came out ok. Literally everywhere they stop adding fluoride, there is a documented increase in tooth decay and other dental issues. But oddly enough, there is no correlative increase in population intelligence or rational thinking. It's almost like the amount in water we use to help our teeth isn't enough to effect neurology, even when we drink it daily. Crazy, huh?
You do the same thing with acetic acid. And lye. But lower the concentration and we safely use them in our kitchens for salad dressing and for bagels.
Water is a poison, in a high enough dose. The point is that the amount put into the water supply is not dangerous.
It's the concentration that makes something poisonous. Electricity works the same way; you can put a 9v battery on your tongue and it just tingles a bit and won't hurt you. Put 3-phase 480V on your tongue and you're gonna go meet Jesus in a big hurry.
Water is also a poison

I have spent my entire life living in rural areas and drinking well water with no fluoride as did my entire family including grandparents. Our teeth are fine. Even if you don't have Florida in your water you still get lots of fluoride from foods and drinks and bread or anything made with water in it because they use water with fluoride. Somehow I think when they dig up a 10,000 year old skull with a full set of nice teeth that person who lived so long ago didn't have fluoride.
exactly. Sugar is the culprit.
Do you know for sure you didn't have fluoride in your water? I also grew up on well water, but i have fluorosis discoloration in my teeth either from naturally occurring fluoride compounds in the local groundwater or possibly high fluoride levels in the nearby town where i went to school. Did you go to school in a town? There was probably fluoride in that water. I'm 36, with teeth like diamonds, i've never had a cavity, and i'm also at least of average intelligence, working as a mechanical engineer for going on 15 yr.

@@nealfischer623 *Yeah. Spell check is funny.
Some US waters need to work on removing lead. Shouldn't that be a priority over fluoride?

Some US states don't have any water to fight fires. Seems to me that should be a priority over all of it, given the immediate need and all.
The fluoride probably helps destroy the pipes -- releasing the lead.
Also -- NO. *TAKE THE GODDAMNED NEUROTOXIC POISON **_OUT OF THE WATER._** PERIOD.*
The fluoride is deliberately added in many communities. Ending that practice would (after the already-fluoridated water has been used and removed from the system) eliminate the excess fluoride from the water. Removing lead is more difficult, since it requires replacing pipes in peoples' houses).

We don’t have fluoride in our water in Hawaii. I grew up in New Mexico. I didn’t get cavities till I lived here for awhile but I attribute it more to getting older. It would be interesting to do a study here on dental health. I remember the dentist suggesting I get some type of fluoride for my son. I believe it should be in toothpaste that gets spit out. I don’t know what ingesting it does. Most of all though……Trump’s picks for powerful positions are insanely unqualified
Yes, they did, that was why they showed the excerpts from the interview with the dentist toward the end of the video. The residents are getting more, and larger cavities in their teeth now.
This could be such a slam bunk for those that want the water fluorinated. If there isn't any clear evidence that it does or doesn't work. Why are we still experimenting on the public? I really don't like that thought process, but it is valid. If you want public trust, maybe being transparent would help. Personally, I'm going to drink whatever water is available, fluorided or not.
I love how the phrase vote your conscience comes into play in what is a scientific discussion.
The "news" didn't show a single peer-reviewed journal entry showing the safety or effectiveness of adding fluoride to the water - much like they did with the other thing they said was "safe and effective." They just got one "expert" to come and say the people had more cavities, from what he saw.

@@alexgonzo5508most underrated comment on this video
Like so many others, this debate is taking on a liberal/conservative dialectic, and once again we may be surprised to see how “conservatively” US liberals are reacting. Just because something has been widely practiced for over 70 years, this does not mean we cannot look at it again with an objective viewpoint. Again, we see the people who are “misinformed” are those making exactly this accusation against those who disagree with them. An “informed” person would be one who recognizes that most European countries and the UK have never added fluoride to their water, or have discontinued it long ago, and yet their juvenile dental health has improved over the past decades in a manner similar to that of the US. This does not discount the value of fluoride in dental pathology prevention, but strongly indicates better hygiene awareness and topical applications of fluoride in toothpaste play an equally important role.
What is undeniable is that the difference between a normal therapeutic dose (0.7ppm) and a dangerous dose (1.4ppm) recognized by all experts, is far too close to administer generally. Medicines distributed without prescription have at least a safety factor of 1:50 between a recommended dose and a dangerous dose, and any medicine that comes even close to a 1:2 ratio is to be administered under close medical supervision - probably in a hospital environment where dosage may be closely controlled.
My own initial reaction to Kennedy’s assertions was similar to other libs, “This is just conspiracy trash” but unlike so many people I am not afraid to actually look at the claims and evaluate them open-mindedly. When I realized the ratio of recommended to dangerous dosage - not disputed by fluoride advocates, I understood Kennedy is correct. This is an intolerable risk for general distribution.
Blatantly wrong. The UK do add fluoride to their water.
In London the water is naturally fluoridate so they don't add more.

You need to do more research on fluoride if you believe that.
Not good for teeth either.
Ask Paul Connet
I doubt it's even good for teeth! After all these years with fluoride in the water and toothpaste, every year the incidence of tooth decay rises in children!
So fluoride is where they draw the line when companies dump forever chemicals and other stuff that definitely are linked to cancer and other issues. 😂 like the same people have been eating lead paint chips, asbestos and other things for half their life.
That's not really a good argument because you're implying that fluoride isn't dangerous in comparison to Teflon that DuPont dumped in the water or other agents that have been released into the waterways. Obviously fluoride is linked to lower IQ's in children & adults in America, as well as compromised immune systems and skeletal abnormalities during development. It also effects neurological function regarding stress management and critical thinking. The point is, we should argue that clean water is a priority and ALL parties caught dumping agents in the water should be held accountable.

Plastics are a major problem because of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs), but fluoride is by no means safe. EDCs interfere with hormone function and have been linked to conditions such as infertility, diabetes, and immune deficiencies, while fluoride damages cognitive and thyroid functions. There are even multiple studies that show fluoride being noticeably harmful below the 0.7 ppm in our water supply. JAMA Pediatrics Study (2019), Meta-Analysis by Harvard Researchers (2012), and the US National Toxicology Program (NTP) Review are a few.

Don't need to. I grew up on fluoridated water and had an average amount of cavities. My friend Ernie, who has lived on well water ALL of his life, his teeth are either yellow or black.

I met Ernie when I worked at a fire station way out in the boonies, and when I say far out, I mean way way out. I mean Hunger Games level, wherein people fish for their dinner on a daily basis. There is a small town nearby that has their own water well and very limited public utilities. If you don't live in a 3.5 square mile area, you have to depend on your own well to drink water and wash items-like clothes and dishes. You don't have to be a edjoomakated ijiot with multiple degrees to see that dental and medical health are lacking because some folks come to the fire station for free medical care. I don't know what state you live in, but you should drive out to a very rural area and talk to the emergency medical people in that area. It will save the inflated cost of bringing in edjoomakated ijiots to see what a six year old can see.

If you want fluoride just use toothpaste. What's in the water does almost nothing for your teeth compared to the amount in toothpaste.

3:20 Everything can be toxic in the right dose, even pure water. "The dose makes the poison"
And if you asked that nurse about injecting botox for cosmetic procedures, she would be totally fine with it.
We must remove this "pure water" from our water!
So where does fluoride go when you ingest it?
@@Robert-vh2cl What does not go into the bones and teeth is filtered out by your kidneys (and then peed out.)
This is such an important point that too many people don't pay attention to. They see the studies (which are done in places where the fluoride levels are about twice or more than what is allowed in the US) and they see the care that is taken when handling the additive (which is highly concentrated) and conflate that with what causes harm.
We know that something is only toxic when it is higher than the dose needed for therapeutic results. Everything that is in our environment has limits to what is safe (including how much pure water one can safely drink). For some things, even minute amounts can be dangerous (such as lead which people don't seem to realize is *far* more dangerous than fluoride and is in the water far too often) and for others, it takes a larger amount. For instance, if you have heart disease, you may need to have digoxin to keep your heart working properly. But if you take more than the prescription says or if the dose is not properly monitored and your dose is too high, you will have toxicity.
I've read many of the studies, especially the one in JAMA Pediatrics recently that analyzes a long list of other studies on the subject. One of the things that disturbed me and was *not* addressed in any way is other things that could have been in the same water. In the US, the level is set at 0.7 mg/L. Even the articles which say fluoride is bad, say that if the level is less than 1.5 mg/L (more than *double* what the US uses), it's not a problem. But the water only is tested for fluoride. What about the lead levels in that same water (as we know that even 0.015 mg/L levels of lead are damaging to the brain)? What about the levels of PFAS in that water? And many places that have high levels of fluoride in the water (either naturally or because their government puts more into the water than would be allowed by the US) often also has high lead levels.
I am so incredibly shocked and appalled that so many people here in the comments are so pro fluoride....
It ironically shows me that the fluoride is doing it's main job, which is to make ya'll stupid AF.
It's from life long indoctrination, they have cognitive dissonance because they can't allow themselves to entertain the idea that they were lied too because people like to think they are smarter than they are. The facts are it's a neurotoxin and all the studies, including government funded ones, show it is dangerous to your health and is proven to lower IQ. The dumbest part is they argue it hardens your teeth then completely ignore the fact that they are ingesting it and not doing topical applications. It's sad how dumb people are getting.
Right back at ya'll more on.

Thank goodness the news anchor expressed her brilliant view on this subject matter in the end.

Fluoride is naturally in all water sources. The fluoridation process isn't about adding something that isn't there, it's about getting what's already there to optimal levels. In some places that means adding more, and in others that means taking some out.
Also most of those chemicals are poison, it varies from state depending on what is in the water supply.
@@JasRaymond1 Every chemical is poison at the right dose. Even water.
Germany, Finland, Japan,
Netherlands, Sweden, and
Switzerland, have all stopped using fluoride in its water.
My town in Nova Scotia, Canada does not use it, and only a few communities in BC add fluoride. The thing is that fluoride
Is/can be found naturally in ground water at different concentrations depending on the location. So having a blanket .7 ml added cannot be good. It would be much higher in some areas than the "suggested amount" also naturally found fluoride in water is not the same as the chemical fluoride we add.
Yes, the fluoride added to water supplies comes from fertilizer plants and is a toxic waste product. It would cost the companies a lot of money to properly dispose of it, yet somehow they sell it to cities and make profits, and it gets "disposed of" through human bodies!
Much of Europe has fluoride added to salt instead. That makes more sense, but is it even available in America?
The .7mg/L is the total residual measured leaving the water plant including any naturally occurring fluoride.

What the news media won't tell you is that the fluoride in your toothpaste is not the same as the fluoride in your tap water. The fluoride in your toothpaste is sodium fluoride (NaF) while the fluoride in your tap water is hydrofluorosilicic acid (HFS)
If you got to wear protective gear to handle it, it is crazy to contaminate something you put in your body😢
It is the quantity/level, and route of exposure, not necessarily the specific chemical that constitutes a risk. Ingesting too much water will cause water intoxication and can easily become lethal. Nutmeg becomes toxic at 1 to 2 tsps. Relatively modest doses of salt have been reported to cause fatality. In two children, the lethal dose was estimated to be less than 10 g of sodium (less than five teaspoons of salt) and the lethal dose was estimated to be less than 25 g sodium in four adults (less than four tablespoons of salt). Point is, just because you need PPE to handle something, doesn't exclude it from being safe in appropriate exposure levels.

@ So much opinion here based on nothing. All of this has been researched and published for decades now, if you care to look for some facts. Briefly, it is important to ingest fluoride to gain the most benefit. Especially for growing children, because that fluoride is incorporated into developing tooth enamel, thereby making it resistant to acid (acid dissolution is essentially what decay is), Topical flouride, as in applied to the surface of the teeth has a vastly smaller benefit.

This is an excellent decision. Kids are exposed to so much fluoride that they now develop dental fluorisis, in moderate and severe forms which used to be rare, and cause permanent structural damage to the teeth.
All fluoridation of water supplies must end! Not only is it the application of medication without consent but is simply not necessary. We do not want fluoride in our bodies. For those who believe it helps tooth decay (caused by sugars) they can use fluoridated toothpaste.
yes yes yes. If people, on top of fluoride in toothpastes and such, want to drink it (!!!), let them use little tablets or something. It's incomprehensible that a "free society" like the US concluded everybody should be drinking it

Big difference between rinse and spit and consuming it over and over in your drinking water; tea, coffee and anything else it gets added to. How hard is it to differentiate between spitting and swallowing? Your moms knew.
The difference is much bigger than this even. Sodium Fluoride, used in dental practices and toothpaste, is safe to use in small amounts. Hydrofluorosilicic acid, which is being added to the water supply, is a neurotoxin.
Not only that, the safe amount for babies vs toddlers vs children vs adults is vastly different, and it is disproportionally more toxic the younger you are. Subsidize toothpaste and dental care before assuming putting it in the water is a one size fits all solution. That's like saying every medication should only have one dosage level, no matter what your individual health, medical conditions, other medicines you're currently on, weight, height, etc. You get the maximum dose or no dose, regardless of all other factors.....
You can get fluoride drops that you add to a drink once a day if your city votes it down but you want it for your family.

I drink well water, and distilled. After a short while on this regime, a beachy smell to tap water is very apparent. So like a toilet that's currently being cleaned with bleach 🤢 Hth

What if instead adding fluoride, we give people public dental care or consider dental care part of healthcare.
Floride is not good for your Pineal Gland. You can remineralize your teeth. Try activated charcoal and plenty of brands out there. Also If it’s for cavities then you should be doing oil pulling and making sure you brush after your meals and stop eating late at night. Fluoride will not prevent cavities. Remineralize and brush your tongue gums and teeth better
Removing fluoride is a good thing. I use flourude free toothpaste. Flourude affects your pineal gland, which dims your senses, intuition. There was a documentary I viewed.
That lady in the beginning had all the buzz words about peer reviewed this and that but honestly it sounded like she was just repeating words without actually knowing what she’s talking about. They just want to sound right instead of actually being right. The loud and dumb.
She did her “research “ sitting on the toilet.

"Experts" once said cigarettes were "safe and effective." Sound familiar?
@@RevTox Horrible example. Capitalist interests said cigarettes were safe and effective. It was the experts who developed such conclusive scientific research that cigarettes were not safe that the government had to listen to it and reel in the tobacco companies and advertisers.
“i’m educated here in America and can read peer-reviewed informations” 🧐

That was the only bit missing from that -beauty contestant- Mensa Member's gibberish. 😳
Yes, because only the Special Ones are capable of deciding, reading and understanding the Secret Codes, by using the Team Science Power Ring. We bow to the Special Ones and wait for there instructions.
@@62Cristoforo There instructions, here instructions. It is a language and few people can read scientific papers. Even those who can are limited in the range of their expertise.
@@62Cristoforo
By special ones, are you referring to the consensus of experts in their field of study?
Or do,you lack any understanding of science whatsoever?
@@62Cristoforo It's literally the stupidest people that don't know the limits of their own knowledge though. Like, I literally have a PhD. But if someone is building me a house, I'm not going to show up and tell the engineers how to do it because I think my knowledge is a good as theirs. Realizing that you are skilled in some way, and others have expertise that you don't have actually makes you smarter. I'm not saying we should always just defer to the experts. But just deciding that you know more or as much as the experts is pure dunning kruger effect on display
Where’s the FDA to act in the public interest?
If they drug the water, without prescriptions, it’s illegal.
75 years ago, before the masses were taught to brush their teeth, tooth decay was rampant. Never before RIGHT NOW have so many educated people lived so freely and so abundantly. And for just 19 years, we have been connected to a Shared Worldwide Experience with near-instant communication. It is GUARANTEED to wake "THIS" generation up. The sky has opened to reveal a billion galaxies with perhaps a trillion planets populated by children of God, Creator of all the Universe.
Do a search. They were even talking about putting statins in the water, like fluoride
Correct, which is why fluoride in tapwater is illegal in several countries.

Here is chat GPT response on the subject. 👇
The negative effects of low-dose fluoride exposure can include dental fluorosis, which may cause enamel discoloration in developing teeth, and potential endocrine disruption affecting thyroid function. There are also ongoing concerns about possible neurological impacts in children, though research in this area is not yet conclusive.
Here is another answer from GPT... excess fluoride in the diet can potentially affect the thyroid gland, as fluoride ions (F⁻) may interfere with iodine uptake, which is essential for proper thyroid function. This is due to the similar chemical properties of fluoride and iodine, both of which are halogens in the same group of the periodic table.
