Community Water Fluoridation and Intelligence: Prospective Study in New Zealand - PMC

Objectives. This study aimed to clarify the relationship between community water fluoridation (CWF) and IQ. Methods. We conducted a prospective study of a general population sample of those born in Dunedin, New Zealand, between April 1, 1972, and ...

Waste of ****ing time. No need to do my own research.

Bordering covid levels of conspiracy shit now. Thats it from me

“however, that there were insufficient data to determine if the low fluoride level of 0.7 mg/L currently recommended for U.S. community water supplies has a negative effect on children’s IQ.”

From your own article you posted.

That is just assuming your only source of fluoride is from the drinking water. Once you put it into the water system, adn that water is used to grow food, etc you can get exposed to significantly higher doses.

It is why Europe doesn't put it into the water, because there is no method of control to what you will get exposed to and we know at higher doses there are significant problems with it.

It is also different to toothpaste, you are told to spit it out, once you ingest the fluoride, it is absorbed by other things where fluoride isn't good, like in the brain, where there is no teeth to decay.

Me personally if I was a GOP voter, wouldn't be rewarding a serial life long sex offender with the most powerful job in the world, no. Not just for myself, but as I said, for those I care about. The message that must send to women, is depressing to say the least.

Can't support sexual abuse, even for supposedly low egg prices.

Socially, I’m a conservative. Politically, I stopped voting for the Libs a long time ago because of how putrid they are. If I were in America, I wouldn’t have voted. Just because you don’t want to vote for the other party, doesn’t mean you should vote for a guy who’s as big a turd as Trump is. I get that people have broader values and they want to vote for the party which supports those values, but at a certain point I think you have to say that the candidate for the party you want to vote for is just too repulsive and not vote, and Trump is well past that line, for me anyway.

Fluoride

What does the evidence say about fluoride in drinking water? We provide an evidence update on the health effects of water fluoridation, following on from the Royal Society Te Apārangi report in 2014.

www.pmcsa.ac.nz

Which include...

"How much fluoride a person is exposed to depends on their diet, how much water they drink, the level of fluoride in the water supply, and their oral hygiene routines."

"Recent studies continue to show that at very high levels and with chronic exposure, fluoride could potentially have negative neurodevelopmental and cognitive impacts. However, this is not a concern at levels used in fluoridation of water supplies in Aotearoa New Zealand."

They used a very low dosage supplement in that region.

There are literally hundreds of studies that show the opposite, the EPA and CDC lost a court case that was imitated by a Harvard professor who said the data coming in from studies means we have to change how we see the benefits vs risks, especially when we take an oath to do no harm.

Tas do you think its plausible that IQ of children in the US is decreasing because low IQ people tend to have more children than those with higher IQ? Hmmm

Americans are dumb not because they have low IQ, but because they are subjected to a horrifically poor education system. There are about 500 genes associated with intelligence and about 80% of them are hereditary. Whilst you could breed dumber people like we changed wolves into Chihuahuas with controlled breeding, it would take numerous generations and would require us to actively pair dumb people together. I am no expert, but I would imagine that it would be impossible to notice any kind of variation due to breeding in the span of 50 years or however long these studies were done.

There are definitely other factors going on besides the genetic makeup, I think the way they educate kids nowaday has changed and there are some pros and cons.

There probably needs to be a lot more research done but until you can factor how much fluoride people are exposed to during pregnancy and during their formative years, it would be safer to excluded it from the water supply and to just brush with toothpaste and spit it out. There isn't a good excuse to justify a potential risk. If you are a genius and lose 5-9 points it isn't going to be the biggest setback but for guys in particular we are looking at a particularly ugly bell curve, a lot of guys can't afford to lose that kind of cognitive ability when they are on the lower end of that bell curve.

And frankly, this really is one of the more minor things on his agenda. If you are concerned, you can get a water filter.

very strange analyst, considering how much the dems were in bed with the tech companies. I don't think its because they don't know how to navigate social media, they can/will/have gotten those companies to change algorithms in their favour.
I think it's more because the people they've chosen are completely unrelatable to the general population of America.
I mean the names that have been thrown up in this thread, do people really think Newsom would've held ground with the steel workers? Trump would've had a field day with him too.

I think you’re both right. It all comes back to Trump himself. The dems just don’t have anyone - there isn’t anyone - who can get near Trump and his mastery of controlling the message. Whether that’s on social media or mainstream media.

The guy that runs my local fish and chip shop could be better president than Donald Trump.

It's not so much a question of who they have to lead but more so everything else they're doing.

Don't mention the other guy/woman by name, give them the silent treatment. Don't say anything that alienates their fans/people likely to vote for him/her.

Keep it simple and repeat over and over the things you pledge to do in office to make the country better.

ie -

• Cost of living
• Women's reproductive rights
• Better Healthcare
• Gun problem (to be honest that would be a hollow pledge because no President can fix it)

I can't guarantee ^that^ will get you victory but if you continue to go to the same play from the playbook....you'll continue getting results like the one we just had.

 

[Ichiro #51]

I get what you’re saying, and agree with the point that there’s a kind of arrogance about the Democratic Party that alienates a lot of people.

But imo, this election has not been about Republicans vs. Democrats or right vs left. It’s been Trump vs everyone else. Americans love Trump, it’s as simple as that.

You went up in my book! Well said

**** it. I cant let this shit slide. Verbatim Snippets from truth social.

Americans are dumb not because they have low IQ

Enlighten me how IQ tests are conducted? And what is measurable when doing so?

That’s Akaash Sing from the Flagrant podcast with Andrew Schulz. They had Trump on and the next day the theatre where Schulz was about to film his new special cancelled on him, which is ridiculous as he’s one of the most popular comedians in the world, he sold out MSG over two nights a few months ago.

Yep.

Yep.

I hate america, I hate everything about em. I hate their sports, I hate their arrogance, I hate them to the core of my soul. I couldn’t give a flying rats toss bag about their demise. I couldn’t give a second rats toss bag if they are sworn into civil war.. I simply dont..

The only thing I care about, when it comes to US and Australia is that they control around 25% of the global share market and their decisions could (potentially) extend this shit hole inflation shit we are experiencing. Thats it, thats what I care about.

I dont care about toothpaste, I dont care about how the USA feel. I care about my fellow Aussies and how we would react to this piece of shit leading our economic disposition.

I care more for countries that are fighting off Russia than I care for Americans. I hate those campaigners. I hate America. They make me ****ing sick, septic tanks

 

[zoomba23]

I'm not overly happy with this outcome, or what it might mean for Australia, because the bloke is semi-illiterate and an absolute stain of a human who shouldn't be entrusted with a pointy stick let alone the position of leader of the free world, but a decent part of me is ok with the result, as it means the left wing may finally take a good hard look at itself.

Apparently the younger generation of men have turned to the right. A group of people who've been accused of being privileged by virtue of their very existence, who've seen online discourse demonising them for who they are, who have seen diversity quotas implemented in jobs that historically males have been able to reliably depend on, who are lagging behind in education (school and tertiary), who have been subject to 'girl-boss' shit for at least the last decade whilst they get no such reinforcement, who have seen the term 'toxic' applied to masculine behaviours as a whole (whether healthy or unhealthy).

I know of plenty of young guys here who've struggled to find a purpose. Girls have felt empowered to go 'full steam ahead,' guys are second guessing themselves and struggling to carve out a place for themselves.

Who would've thought that a group of people who have seen this sort of shit consistently throughout their adolescence and youth would vote for the party that, truthfully or disingenuously, tells them that they aren't the problem and, truthfully or disingenuously, targets immediate issues (immigration, economy) in its campaign.

Seriously. I hope the result doesn't have adverse consequences for Australia, and I certainly hope that American women still will have their rights intact by 2028, perhaps futilely, but I think this'll be a real discussion starter, and hopefully a turning point regarding the way the left wing thinks about men. This is a whole potential pool of voters essentially being completely dismissed, and now the price has been paid. Well, maybe they'll have learned something after the next four years. And that's worldwide I'm talking about, because God knows there's enough residual impact from America in the Western world as it is.

I don't mind the NBA, being a basketball fan. All of their other sports like baseball and gridiron are snooze inducing though.

This one especially is my favourite:

The game basketball is a great concept. The version of NBA is garbage.
