Don't give them ideas.

It's got what lungs crave.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 bit to spread chaos.
-
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?
