Chief of the NSA literally says that he's going to silence the media

[DrenDran]

people don't like hearing things that they don't like.

yeah...

so, guys, apparently the us gov spent like 172 million dollars or something for richard pumps through medicare?

article?

i just read past those first few posts and apparently the last two pages have been something about tap water
gj way to focus on the real issues guys

i know daily news isn't the best but here it is.

Okay yeah, that's a megadose of sodium fluoride. Basically every organ in your body is gonna fail if you start shoveling handfuls of chemically-pure sodium fluoride down your throat. I'm talking about the lower-range of harmful doses where you can get dental fluorosis, ulcers, etc.

What you're missing here is that the fluoride put in tap water is really really dilute. Like, there's probably only a milligram or so of it in several liters of tap water. To get the same amount of fluoride found in tooth paste, you'd have to extract fluoride from like tens of gallons of tap water.

It's easy to make the mistake of thinking that if a chemical is harmful at one dose, it's harmful at all doses. This is not the case. In fact, for any chemical you can think of, there is both a safe dosage and an unsafe dosage. It's like the first rule of toxicology.

I saw this one coming from a mile away.

The first reason that your argument doesn't make sense is that fluoride accumulates in the body, and isn't flushed out, like other toxins.
The other reason is that I've never said that an amount like that was put into public water.

Yeah, I don't even see why he's citing that as evidence against water-fluoridation when we still have populations with dental hygiene issues.

The only solution is to stop drinking water at all. I mean water has been infected by the evil fluoride already. You're done boy, you goofed up. You see they have microchips installed in fluoride so they can control the population at any given time.

This isn't a controlled study. Each one of those countries has different circumstances that can impact dental health, such as diet, poverty, access to medical care, etc.

I can't see anything methodologically flawed about giving an organism with like 2% the body-weight of an adult human-being large amounts of fluoridated water until it shows up in their bone-cultures. There's a reason LD₅₀ values are measured in mg/kg of weight.

Not being tribal but the reason that most people voted for Obama is because they wanted a "First African-American President".

[Epicduke]

the NSA is listening to us via fluoride obviously

[Buu]

You people are idiots, they've been transmitting demon waves since 1700, america is jargon for SATAN, can't you see? the radio stations from 120 ad had been controlling us all along, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU SATANISTS?!?

lol night thought the flatearth site was real

NASA HAD LIED TO US, IF WE RELEASED OURSELVES WE CAN CROSS THE BORDERS.

Just because it could accumulate so easily in a small human brown townog over weeks doesn't mean it couldn't build up slowly for weeks, months, and years in a human being that has been drinking water mixed with fluoride since their childhood. It was done like this to accelerate the effect. Also, a PDF of one study on accumulation on one particular organ, the pineal gland.

In terms of the uncertainty this presents, this might not even occur in humans. This study implies that we should do more research, not cut back on public health measures.

wait a sec I just wanna know real quick. does anyone here actually think the government is trying to poison us

yes, john does. that's about it.
