Absolutely ridiculous. I’m sure Lapadoo gave his irrational input. Ron must be listening to brain worm Kennedy.
Enjoy your cavities!
I heard this from my dentist long before I heard it from RFK– research shows that fluoride is effective and safe when applied topically, and dangerous and ineffective when ingested.
BS. Your dentist is a fool and in complete disagreement with his peers. Tooth decay can be fatal, but the more common problems and expenses are not debatable.
“Removing fluoride from water systems can have a measurable impact on oral health. Here in the US, Juneau, Alaska discontinued fluoride in 2007 and research revealed that cavity-related dental procedures subsequently increased by nearly 50 percent in children and adolescents.
In Canada, Calgary removed fluoride in 2011 and researchers subsequently found that children had more tooth decay compared to Edmonton, which maintained fluoridation. Calgary is currently in the process of reintroducing fluoride in its water. In the Canadian city of Windsor, across the river from Detroit, fluoride was removed in 2013 but the city council also voted to reintroduce it in 2018 after seeing increased rates of emergency dental care in children…”
Ingestion is also shown to significantly decrease IQ scores. I have very recent anecdotal evidence that this is true.
Now you m,o,r o,n republicans will lose all your teeth and look like the redneck hillbillies you all are!
Even better. You’ll have trouble talking your BS.
Hoyt: be a superhero and Make sure you get your c19 boosters 💉and wear your face diaper 😷.
remember…you wear that diaper to protect me!
Or not and be 2.5 times more likely to croak from Covid, like Sherman and his friends and fellow MAGA cultists – who are still alive.
They got fluoride in toothpaste numnuts…you don’t have to drink the poison.
Fluoride in drinking water helps strengthen teeth and bones as babies are growing in their mother’s womb and makes a lifelong difference for the oral health of children. You can’t retroactively fix that after the baby is born.
Children will suffer in Florida from this ridiculous law and poor children will suffer the most but I think we all know that’s the point.
I can’t believe you’re advocating for pregnant women to consume Hexafluorosilicic acid. I bet you also recommend pregnant women get Covid and flu shots.
What gives you or the government the right to administer a medical treatment via a public utility?
Public health Slice. If you don’t like it, move or don’t drink the water.

Yeah, because there’s no fluoride in tooth paste or mouthwash.
With a fake name like “Hoyt” you know it’s really an old boomer stud-woman with an overactive imagination and ego. Aren’t there meds for that?
You mean not a real internet he-man, like you Peabody?
Vitamin k2 works just fine — or topical fluoride if you must
Thank you for the Vitamin K2 tip. I did not realize K2 was so widely used for bone health. A few minutes of basic research backs up your statement!
Just a little fun fact….especially for the City Folks: Well water doesn’t have fluoride in it. Do you know how many residences in Alachua County have wells? LOTS!!!!! Do Republicans live in all those homes? NO!!!!
