Good question!

From WIKI:

Fluoridation costs an estimated $0.95 per person-year

My son who is now 24, remembers very clearly in Elementary School sitting by himself in the back of the classroom because I was the only parent who refused to allow those in school Floride treatments and he hated me for it. I also allowed the dentist to do only one floride treatment a year. We've had fliters on our water for years. My friends all thought I was just a bit nuts. So yeah, I guess we can take off our tinfoil hats now.

I'm looking for the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) for fluoride. I know its coming. Seriously, though, it's a poison and part of the reason that so many Americans are overweight, because it cripples the thyroid.

Rachel Maddow owes the JBS an apology. (Although I wish the JBS had stuck to the health effects argument as opposed to the "It sets the precedence for other bad stuff" argument. Both arguments are legit, but one is more direct.)

Or more likely a lot of Americans eat a shit ton of fast food, soda, and candy and do not exercise enough.

People who want to read more into this article will.

Of course, but all of those things are cited regularly. Everybody knows that soda and junk food make you fat, but people don't realize that they're drinking a poison that will cause their thyroid to shut down and lead to obesity, stupidity, passivity, etc.
