KENS 5: Added to our drinking water: A chemical 'more toxic than lead'?

[Wild Cobra]

what else is strange is that my dad got it, she got it, i got it, even the in DOG has it...i really really think it's environmental in some way.

Could be.

Newflash RG. Wake up bud.

As a lifetime resident of San Antonio I remember when there was no flouride in the water. Then, proponents wanted to add it. It was voted down time after time and it kept getting put back on the ballot every couple of years. Then it finally passes (a squeaker in an off year low turnout election) and that's just IT. Cast in stone. No more votes, no chances to overturn it. I have ALWAYS wondered who got paid to push it through and then protect it...

Family thyroid problems, huh? Is this a picture of you and your dog?

Sounds about right.

“This compound that the city is adding is many more times toxic than lead. It’s nearly as toxic as arsenic,” said a fluoride opponent, who signed up to speak at a City of Austin committee hearing.

Did the KENS reporter ever end up answering his original question?

WGAFF. Sometimes the asking of the question is more important than the answer. The expelling of a question by a set of lips in one hemisphere can start a hurricane in another.

Something like "What would it take to get Saddam?" for example.

Difference here is that we have decades worth of research on the subject.

This piece added nothing new, which means the answer is still 'no.'

We had intel to go after Saddam, too. :-/

Funny how you dismiss reseach contrary to your opinion.

But tbh, you dont need research to see the dangers this poses to infants of the lower class, to those sensative to the stuff, those that dont want stained teeth, and those that dont want state mandated medication and think that the supreme law of the land should trump special interests.

Special interests who have achieved influence over our politicians, and loyal citizens like yourself.

[ChumpDumper]

Why only infants of the lower class?

[Parker2112]

because they dont have a choice chump. they dont have means to purchase special water, and in some cases education will be a factor. We have had this discussion before.

Why do you hate babies in poverty, chump?

We already went through this.

You lost.

You'll lose again.

[Parker2112]

You won because you said you won. You might believe yourself to be santa. either way your en led to your laymans opinion. The OP contains a professional opinion that doesnt agree with your own. It also dismisses your tired "This is settled" argument. Convenient for me.

The American Dental Association says studies dating back to the 1940’s show a correlation between high concentrations of fluoride and a lack of cavities.

“We know that it continues to work, with anywhere from a 20 to 40 percent reduction in tooth decay,” added Lopez-Howell.

The ADA’s stance on fluoridated water hasn’t changed. But what has changed in the last 9 years is the growth of research which says ingesting fluoride may be harming, rather than helping.
