“Yes, it will lead to poor health and high profits”
RFK is in the pocket of the establishment healthcare companies.
He is there to line their pockets by removing preventative measures.
Insurance companies make money off fluoride in drinking water. The government pays for preventative care? That’s their dream. They only pay for cleanings because cavities are more expensive to treat.
If insurance companies had their way we’d have universal healthcare and mandatory private insurance that was allowed to deny claims freely.
They get $800 a month, and replace their entire claims department with a system that automatically denies claims and forwards the bill to the government. You’re legally obligated to receive preventative care and live a long and productive life to maximize the number of payments you make to them.
Obviously dental, vision, skin, bones, organs and mental health are an additional $250 a month each, mandatory, and provide no coverage.
The was no fluoride where I was born and lived for the first two years of my life. I’ve had a mouth full of cavities all my life.
I never had flouride at all, ever, in my water and I’ve only had maybe 2 cavities.
- people do have different teeth.
- are you sure? Keep in mind that the most common reason to not flouridate water is because natural flouride levels are sufficient.
Untested well water so I’m not positive. I think it genes/biology is a huge part.
Genes do play a role in dental health. Water flouridation very effectively does a better job providing better results to more people with great reliability. That’s backed by a huge amount of data.
Great reasonable, and mature reply!
and adults, cavities affect everyone with teeth
You can easily improve the cavity stats for adults by just having everyone lose their teeth by age 15.
Worked for me! Half my teeth are fake due to poor education, poor hygiene when I was young, and well water.
Quack edit: I’m not actually recommending it. It destroyed my confidence. I’m being sarcastic.
I actually had the opposite problem! We had well water, but due to an extensive government information campaign, we took fluoride supplements.
After I cracked a few of my teeth on different occasions my parents suspected something was off, and had the well water tested. Turns out it had naturally occurring fluoride, and with the added supplements it was a little too much and my teeth got brittle. Thankfully this mostly happened to my baby teeth, so my adult teeth are mostly fine.
