Adding fluoride to drinking water reduces IQ, so why do they do it?
It can't be for dental health because low IQ people will not be smart enough to care for their teeth properly, they will lack the foresight to do so and/or lack the brainpower to do a good job of it.
The only reasonable explanation seems to be that its done to intentionally reduce people's intelligence. What other reason would make sense?
>>
doctors prescribe statins despite the countless damage they do to muscles and bleeding problems yet they still proscribe them

Statins dissolve cholesterol
The brain is made out of cholesterol
So statins make you low IQ
>>
>>16510021
The reduced intelligence conspiracy seems likely to me.
> low IQ people will not be smart enough to care for their teeth properly
You don't know anything, do you? There's 80 IQ people with perfect teeth because all they care about is their appearance
>>
>>16510021
>Adding fluoride to drinking water reduces IQ,
According to what? I've read the Chinese study that showed a drop of like 3 points in a particular area with a very high concentration of fluoride. That is extremely weak evidence because there are very many other factors that could cause that drop, which is small to begin with. It's a terrible study. I read a few other studies one of you fluorotards linked and they were also totally unconvincing (I didn't bother to remember the details). Furthermore, fluoride occurs in many natural water sources in similar concentrations to what they add to tap water. Furtherfurthermore, it's good for your teeth, yes.
>>
>>16510021
>a significant portion of locales with high water fluoride just have a naturally fluorinated water that's mistreated
>t. grew up in isle of wight co in VA (but was carried and born in alaska, lucky me) everyone there has the most mottled teeth you'll ever see and they've known about it since at least 2003 but are genuinely too retarded to do anything about it.

tbqhon it's not so bad. fluorosis saved my ass when I was all depressive and stopped brushing my teeth/taking care of myself. went to the dentist after four years of maybe brushing a hundred or so times total with zero cavities, but shit, if it means I miss out on pearly whites so be it.

This used to be reasonable to me but now it just sounds like an absolute non-sequitur. Suppose that you had never heard of this, and then one day someone proposed we do it. You'd think that person is insane

There is one benefit of Fluoride.
IT IS POISON.
It poisons insects and rats as well as humans.

Sulfuryl fluoride is used to control a wide range of pests. Some of these include bed bugs, termites, rats, and mice. Sulfuryl fluoride has been registered in the United States for use in pesticides since 1959. All sulfuryl fluoride products are restricted use pesticides (RUPs).

It should also kill microorganisms like amoebas, freshwater parasites, and rodents.

Fluoride is absolutely shit for the teeth and poison for the body of humans.

>>16512454
If you refer to his picture, the exact same compound (NaF) is used in toothpaste and insecticides. NaF is also added to water supplies.

It's funny that you're getting particular about specific fluoride compounds now but a common deflection used by fluoride lovers is that "natural" fluoride is present in water everywhere. Calcium fluoride actually turns out to be less absorbed and results in 2-5x less harmful effects in humans and animals than sodium fluoride.

Are you somehow distilling water to up the concentration of water? No? Then you're fine. If it's in the recommended ratio to water consumed it won't have any affect. This is like saying that you need to be scared of air because if you only consumed CO2 you would die

>it won't have any affect
you can keep on imagining that if you feel the need for a coping mechanism, but you're wrong. humans evolved to be intelligent and they did so in an environment with no fluoride added to the water. consuming fluoride is proved to lower IQ, if you're drinking fluoridated water you are reducing your intelligence. you may have already reduced your brainpower to the point that you're too dumb to recognize the harm that you're doing to yourself by drinking fluoride

Given that is has long been well known that fluoride cause intellectual disabilities, if it wasn't being put in the water supply maliciously then there would be strict rules about monitoring fluoride levels in the water to insure that it isn't excessive and your local utilities would be required to inform the public of the local fluoride concentrations. The fact that nobody seems to care enough to do that strongly suggests that the fluoride was put in the water intentionally to lower people's IQs. I'm rural and have my own well and send samples out to a lab to test for contaminants regularly. Its fairly insane that urbanites aren't equally concerned about their own water safety

Drinking out the tap surely correlates with lower income and success. It doesn’t cause it tho

You've clearly consumed a lot of flouride.

this, it was noticed ages ago that people who eat meat and dairy based diets have healthier teeth and bones and people who eat animal feed have weaker teeth and are dumber and wimpier
>>
>twice the recommended limit
Also the study found the decline was marginal.

Also also, the study had fuck all to do with "adding" fluoride. It looked at fluoride levels. Remember, plenty of places REMOVE fluoride to get it to within whatever the local limit is because it naturally occurs in many water supplies.

Your brain has been damaged by your fluoride consumption so you invent weak false equivalencies in order to deny that you have reduced IQ.
If you were intelligent then you would admit that your harmful fluoride consumption was a mistake and you would cease it, but your IQ has been reduced too far for you to do that.

Fluoride is a byproduct of aluminum manufacture. All those planes, soda cans, and everything else - the fluoride has to go somewhere.

I've seen pictures of fluoride-manipulated shrunken brains. Ever wonder why we find old skeletons with great teeth?

The other important part is how many varying forms of sugar are packed into so many foods.

I live in a fluoride free water district and I never get cavities. Fluoride does not protect against cavities, I would have tons of them if it did, way more than the people who drink fluoride and still get cavities

Fluoride doesn't protect teeth at all, is only a poison one needs to use after every meal in concentration high enough to kill cavity bacteria. Drinking it diluted is fucking stupid.

Yeah, thats one of the big tipoffs that fluoride shouldn't be consumed. Putting it in the water is literally poisoning people's brains. If you ever wonder why Idiocracy is coming true, fluoride is why

Why would fluoride protecting against cavities cause people that don't consume fluoride to get cavities?

>I live in a fluoride free water district
Your district isn't fluoride free. It's *added* fluoride free. Fluoride naturally occurs in drinking water in a lot of areas. Hell, in some places they have to remove fluoride to get it down to recommended levels.
>>
>>16536893
>fluoridated mouthwash? you should never swallow that
They make alcohol free mouthwash if you're that set on drinking mouthwash.

It's for people that are too mentally or physically gone to control when they swallow.

3 pts is fairly significant and has a measurable economic impact.

A recent court ruling in the USA concluded that it was toxic.
>>
>>16537891
Hmmm.

How many doctors have spent any amount of time trying to find the root cause of your disorders so you are free from the 'meds'?
>>
>>16539762
>3 pts is fairly significant and has a measurable economic impact.
Which is why there's legal limits.

>A recent court ruling in the USA concluded that it was toxic.
No. It didn't. It found there was a *risk* that it was toxic and ordered the EPA to address that risk...which they did by concluding it wasn't. They also called the judge a fuckwit.
>>
>>16510021
Reduces IQ means people get lower IQ, not that they get a low IQ. Are you low IQ or something?

so if fluoride is good for teeth then shoudl i use flouride toothpaste and floss? as long as i rinse well ill be better off right
also the u in fluorine should be removed like it was is colour
>>
>>16539764
>find the root cause of your disorders
There is significant evidence those disorders are genetic, but their complete nature is extremely complicated so such research must be done on large scales over several decades. At a certain point you have to trust modern medicine because it has worked for many, many people, and other matters in life are too pressing to risk suffering another seizure or manic episode by taking your health into your own hands.

It's been explained as a form of harm reduction.
Certain portions of the population have a tough time taking care of their teeth for whatever reason.
Fluoride by itself has apparently shown to improve dental heath in absence of regular or proper care.

Everytime you point out how a well devloped country doesn't add fluoride the above explanation is said and it's implied the US is incapable of teaching proper dental health and fluorination is basically compassion to improve a bad situation.

Problem is that even if the benefits outweigh the risks, some just refuse to let go of fluorination as it's become a sacred cow of how scientific studies and research can shape public policy.
Scientists for some reason just can't be humble that chlorination and the adding of calcium, magnesium and other minerals have done way more good for public heath than fluoride ever did or could. I wonder why they don't take credit for that?
