Can we have a civilized talk about the U.S. water fluoridation industry?

132. Great point! Famously there's already Prozac(tm) in there.

But probably just a drop in the bucket of the tens of thousands of synthetic chemicals released into the environment for the first time in the last century, starting long before there was a concept of "environmental impact." Which is why it's funny when the repeaters of corporate PR ("Science!!! I said it, so it's true!&quot demand proof for health effects, missing the point: minimize experimentation on the general pop! Only fast or dramatic health effects are easily attributed to a given environmental cause (as with smoking for smoker). Everything long-term and possibly having oblique causal pathways ain't found easily through epidemiological studies, and will always be disputable. But hey, a study from 1950 found a correlation between fluoridation and health benefits? Gold standard! Proof! Totally as though they locked 1000 twins in two groups away from all influences for 10 years, gave them identical diets and eliminated all variables except for the double-blind administration of fluoride.
