    ‘The science of fluoride is starting to evolve’

    what an awful headline. nothing is ‘evolving’ here, any negative effects from fluoride only occur where fluoride in the water is well above the recommended level.

      It’s a direct quote that’s used later in the article:

      Modern inquiry into fluoride’s non-dental health effects began to pick up pace in 2015, when the National Toxicology Program (NTP) requested a systematic review on fluoride’s impact on neurodevelopment. By 2019, toxicology researcher Bruce Lanphear, of Simon Fraser University in Canada, co-authored a study finding fluoride exposure was associated with decreased IQ, which would later be incorporated into the NTP’s systematic review. “That gives you an indication that the science of fluoride is starting to evolve – it wasn’t set in stone 70 years ago,” he said. Lanphear, and a small group of like-minded toxicology researchers, argue now is the time for us to “pause and have an independent scientific committee look at all this new evidence” as “we have a lot of new science specifically about fluoride and the developing brain,” he said.

        Find me something that health officials say is unsafe above a specific ppm. Then find one that doesn’t have terrible effects like IQ loss when you have 10-100x that level in your water (which, to be clear, is veeeeery few people in this case)

    Is there any stated reasoning for the NTP review in the first place beyond “People like RFK think it’s scary”?

    They can try to impose their reality upon the world, but you can’t change the laws that govern our universe. They’re the reason shit is and isn’t. Words dont change that. The only reason to rid yourself of fluoride in the drinking water at current ppm is to fuck up poor people’s teeth.
