🪨Mineral Monday🪨 Today I want to talk about the mineral, Fluoride. There is evidence that fluoride helps to prevent tooth decay. However, is the prophylactic use of fluoride to improve oral health outweighed by any other health risks caused by the fluoride? Listen to hear more.

Just no.
No.

(131,209 posts)A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids, without the knowledge of the individual, certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works. I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion, and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids. - Paul Gosar

(19,749 posts)a very simple, basic error of fact/science in the opening fucking sentence. Fluoride is not a mineral. Fluoride is an ion.
That is an error so basic it would make a high school science student blush, or maybe junior high. Why would anyone not a moron take any advice from someone whose opening sentence contains such a pathetic error?
Is fluoride in some minerals? Yes. But those minerals all have their own names, whereas fluoride is called fluoride, and fluoride is not a mineral.

(29,882 posts)The one claiming that 9 out of 10 dentists recommend sugarless gum to their patients? Gooser is probably among the 1 in 10 who want people to get more cavities - same with demonizing fluoridated water. Bad for bidness, yunno.
