man we are like 2 years away from putting lead back in the gasoline at this point
It’s got what lungs crave.
I hate to break it to you, but they never stopped using it in airplanes.
The dose makes the poison, we can see in blood lead levels over time that we’ve basically solved the problem by eliminating it from car exhaust, which we breathe pretty regularly.
If you live within 1 mile of an airport you will have high amounts of lead in your blood. Maybe not as much as before, but still higher than there should be.
Don’t give them ideas.
lmao first state after UTAH, of all places. talk about a state whose whole economy relies on their smiles… jesus joseph smith that’s wild
Dumbest of the dumb. If you really want to belitin conspiracies and want to fight that machine, put Desantis and his wife in jail for diverting tax dollars to their pet projects.

florida fell out of the news cycle after desantis abandoned his bid for the presidency.
Still, the Florida man that stopped a street fight via vehicular manslaughter, etc. has DeShittits beat, IMHO. That man is exemplary of his state. (Works both ways.)
especially with the news has been extremely quiet about the tariffs, canadian tourists boycotting hitting his state.
As long as I continue to brush with floride toothpaste, this shouldn’t matter. Right?
Well, I’ll say that most highly thought of European counties don’t do it so, yeah, use fluoride toothpaste and you’re gucci.
Most European countries including Italy, France, Finland, Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, Scotland, Austria, Poland, Hungary and Switzerland do not fluoridate water.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_fluoridation_by_country
Oh, despite us Finns not fluoridating water, there’s quite a lot of it in well water.
Finland
Kuopio is the only community in Finland with at least 70,000 people that has ever had water fluoridated.[56] Kuopio stopped fluoridation in 1992.[86] In regions with rapakivi bedrock (small, but densely populated regions), 22% of well waters and 55% of drilled well waters exceed the legal limit of 1.5 mg/L; generally, surface and well waters have 0.5-2.0 mg/L fluoride in affected regions.
“we don’t flouridate our water”
“Our water naturally has flouride”
Some of it.
So?
Most don’t have any.
So it makes your point unclear. Are you saying that they have good teeth even with no flouride in the water and not using flouride toothpaste?
Yes.
There is no need to add fluoride to drinking water, even when fluoride is good for cavities.
It’s not my problem if you want to have dirty teeth.
Wash your fucking teeth man
Oh, I see. I think I get the misunderstanding.
Poor people in this country have no money and no support. There’s no free toothpaste fairy floating around giving out supplies. In some parts of the country there isn’t even sewer lines.
But I understand, it’s easy to mistake us for a first world country because you only see our media. We’re not. We’re a third world country with first world coasts.
Wash your fucking teeth man
You’re privileged. Learn some creativity and empathy, or stop wasting the world’s oxygen.
Honestly not a bad idea. Fluoride doesn’t actually provide much of any benefit for those who brush their teeth. If anything we ought to be asking why we keep spending money on it now that brushing is entirely normal.
Because, the cost to rewards ratio is unbelievably high in this case. Putting fluoride into water is super cheap and the public benefit it creates is huge.
This is especially important for parts of the population that depend on others for their healthcare (kids). If your parents didn’t teach your to brush your teeth, creating good habits and providing the right materials, the fluoride is going to do a lot for this children.
the public benefit it creates is huge
Uh… the whole point I’m making is that the benefit is almost nonexistent.
Are you basing your opinion entirely upon what sounds better to you politically, instead of actually knowing anything about the issue?
Now explain the downside. Given how cheap it is, I don’t see the problem even if you’re correct that the benefit is almost nonexistent.
I mean, whatever money value you want to attach, you’re still burning plenty of fossil fuels needlessly in it’s manufacture, transport and application. Takes up people’s time which could potentially be spent on more important things also. Just to spitball a few things that could be gained.

You made a typo, fixed it for you
Fluoride does have some downsides, the major upside is dental caries prevention, because of the high carbohydrate default diet caries are very common
Your point is wrong.
You’re just talking out of your ass. Why should anyone believe you? Where’s your data to support the idea that “most people brush”, and further that there isn’t any benefit for people who do brush?
Can some other ppl look at this guys account, it has the worst takes I’ve seen and just gets down voted everywhere. I can’t tell if this is a real person or a bot to spread chaos.
Tags are a useful feature. It’s how I still know that they’re a conservative dipshit when I discovered that fact months ago.
The the add note item right? I just found that out today
It’s been a feature in boost for a while called tags. I wonder if it uses the same backend functionality. Are you using an app or the web UI?
Android app. When I add the note to them and come back to the thread, it has their name then the note next to it. I assume it’s the same
Hmm, same guy mad about “woke” games. Shocker.
Sorry, but I’m just not into you.
I’m too WoKe
Nah. Too stalkerish.
Using a tag: the mark of a true psycho. Keep on conservin (and thinking no one knows)
Feeling the need to announce it every time you’re in the same place as a specific person you don’t know is honestly a little bit creepy.
Is it creepy to make up stories about people because you’re mad they called you out?
People brushed their teeth back when fluoride was first introduced too. It was normal back then. Fluoride still offered a benefit and it still does today. That’s how public health works, we look at the big numbers over time, like how many kids have teeth rotting out of their heads.
Looking at big numbers is how you harm minorities
It’s not as common as you’d think unfortunately - and not all parents make their kids brush which is totally not their fault. So as long as it doesn’t harm anyone to keep it in and helps some why not?
Is that sarcasm? Its definity a parent’s fault for not maintaining hygiene in their dependent spawn
“Not the fault of the kids” is obviously what they mean.
Oh. That wasn’t obvious
