    Is there Fluoride in your water? Do you want it?

  • Fair. It gives the consumer a better choice than bottled or in-home filtered vs tap water does.

    It also dispels the idea that European countries consider fluoride supplementation unsafe, which is implied by the OP.

  • Has anyone measured the level of fluoride already in your water?

  • Germany adds fluoride to table salt. The US does not do that. We do add iodide or iodate to salt for goiter prevention.

    Different delivery methods for fluoride, same goals.

  • There's regular controversy around the age of the earth, the shape of the earth, and whether astronauts have ever been on the moon.

    The Harvard article mostly talks about whether fluoride helps adults. The safety concerns are mostly about fluorosis. That has very specific symptoms on the teeth themselves, and if you see it you should be investigating whether someone is swallowing lots of toothpaste first.

    You will see a lot of crappy medical science touted by universities. Many of their hospitals offer "alternative and complementary" medical treatments because people are willing to pay for them. Scientific consensus from experts and what you can find some kook supporting are not the same thing.

    The neurotoxicity study from Mullenix doesn't have teeth (pun intended), and the people who keep touting it 30 years later might as well be flat earthers.

  • Do you mean in the world or in charge of the USA? Because the current guy is the closest we've gotten to an authoritarian so far, and he's not left-wing.

  • Sure, it's possible you didn't like either woman who gained the Democratic nomination for President both times it happened, but you'll give the third a fair shake. Anything is possible.

  • I didn't imply there were famous American* left-wing authoritarian leaders who have had an opportunity to gain the power they desire. I was talking about Americans on the left who would willingly support some ill-meaning populist who parroted their favorite talking points. They think harm could never come from someone on their side despite numerous historical examples because those people are retconned to be right-wing once they seize power.

    You've stepped in on behalf of the other guy and managed to really derail things.

    *Chavez, Maduro, Fidel, and Raul are/were all Americans, and not only Americans speak English, but I know what you meant.

  • Said Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.): "Personally I was of the opinion ... that, 'What are we going to get in 10 days that we didn't get?'"

    You only got what you got because you funded DHS for two more weeks. Now you have all the leverage because social services aren't on the chopping block anymore.
