This whole thing is cancer... What's wrong with fluoride?

    Nor is there anything wrong with MSG or prozac

    Common side effects include loss of appetite, nausea, diarrhea, headache, trouble sleeping, dry mouth, and sexual dysfunction. Serious side effects include serotonin syndrome, mania, seizures, an increased risk of suicidal behavior, and an increased risk of bleeding.

    Literally every drug claims to have side effects and virtually no one ever experiences them because it only affects 0.01% of the population. And then they just have a slightly different alternative and now fine.

    He said fluoridation was too important to be left to the generals. When he said that, 50 years ago, he might have been right. But today, fluoridation is too important to be left to politicians. They have neither the time, the training, nor the inclination for strategic thought. I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

    Yeah, I think that one's just FUD, because fluoride is added to the water by the US government.

    Fluoride in the water to dumb the masses is part of their conspiracy theory. They call it the fluoride stare and think you shouldn't drink tap water.

    I just can't imagine being so simple minded that I would ignore actual science, and instead equate ingesting fluoride with a way they've seen people stare? It's just so insanely stupid, all of it.

    Its not hard for people to believe, the lead stare exists. Scientists have lied on behalf of tobacco and fossil fuel lobbies. Its got all the soil for a believable conspiracy theory to grow.

    There is a very big difference, that they don't understand, between "a scientist said" and "scientific consensus". This (sometimes purposeful) misunderstanding comes from their fundamental refusal to understand what science actually is.
