A bill to ban the use of the mineral in public water passed the Florida House 88-27. It now awaits Gov. Ron DeSantis’ signature.
Lawmakers in Florida gave final passage to a bill to ban fluoride in public water systems Tuesday, with the state House voting 88-27.
SB 700, also known as the Florida Farm Bill, doesn’t mention the word “fluoride,” but it would effectively ban the chemical compound by preventing “the use of certain additives in a water system.” The bill awaits Gov. Ron DeSantis’ signature.
If DeSantis, a Republican, signs the bill, Florida will become the second state to ban fluoride from water supplies.
Fluorida
9/10 Evil dentists approve
All dentist are evil though.
The three people who still have teeth in Florida are in trouble now.
the state is named after flouride, FLOURIDA
I believe that is not the etymology, and also you spelled flouride wrong.
Well, now I know for sure that you’re not in that state.
Because they got U out
Also, the Spanish named it “Florida”, which means “flowered”, root word “flor” for “flower”. Likewise, Nevada means “covered in snow”, root word “nieve” for “snow”.
How about dazzle points? Sparkleshine?
T-dazzle!
(SOUNDBITE OF FILM, “DR. STRANGELOVE”)
STERLING HAYDEN: (As General Jack D. Ripper) Have you ever heard of a thing called fluoridation - fluoridation of water?
PETER SELLERS: (As Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake) Yes, I have heard of that, Jack. Yes.
DALLEK: The Birch Society argued that fluoride in the drinking water was a massive wedge for socialized medicine, which was spoofed in the Stanley Kubrick film, “Dr. Strangelove.”

HAYDEN: (As General Jack D. Ripper) Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face?
When are they going to ban dihydrogen monoxide?
More like DEI Hydrogen Monoxide
You’ve just doomed us all.
They probably should in some parts of the U.S. right? It’s that badly contaminated.
Take iodine out of salt while you’re at it.
Let’s bring the gioter look back!
Florida bans fluoride, eh? Florida… man.
What a stupid and shitty timeline we’re living in. Holy shit.
Florida was always stupid. Anything they do, will not surprise me.
There is evidence that there is a correlation between fluoride in water and lower IQ in children. It’s difficult to show causation, but it’s something that should be investigated. Pausing fluoridation while this happens would seem sensible.
I think this is the first time I’ve ever defended something these arseholes have done. Feels weird.
The mean IQ level was more in the region with medium fluoride concentration in drinking water (56.68) compared to areas with low fluoride concentration (41.03) and high fluoride concentration (31.59).
So according to that study, having “medium levels” (1.2-2ppm) of fluoride is much better. I checked three random water reports in Florida which had 0.5, 0.7 and 0.9 ppm.
They also fucked up this graph
Notice the x axis
Lol I’m sure Florida is so on top of that research
Did you even read the paper you linked?
flouride also stregnthens the teeth, its a fact. the anti-flouride people still complaining how they are getting cavaties despite using all thse flouride free toothpastes. alot of them ventured into using n-HA as a replacement, but the effects are very unpredictable and hasnt be reliabe, i think you need confirmed 10% n-HA for the toothpaste to repair the teeth.

There are actually studies that support this person’s point. There’s are correlations between the quantity of fluoride in water and non-neurotypical characteristics in children. There are also links between fluoride and small deceases in IQ.
Take a look at some studies and be open to complication: fluoride is good for teeth and prevents cavities in low doses, but it also has some potentially serious side-effects. We should absolutely be doing more research on this.
Who needs teeth even you have flood insurance.
Bring back asbestos, Florida! And leaded gasoline!
And gas station bath salts!
Don’t worry, y’all, they’re probably gonna make lead pipes great again, too!
edit - that way, you can all look and act like wild bill from the green mile! isn’t that GREAT?
second?
Who the fuck was the first?
