As long as I continue to brush with floride toothpaste, this shouldn't matter. Right?

Well, I'll say that most highly thought of European counties don't do it so, yeah, use fluoride toothpaste and you're gucci.
Most European countries including Italy, France, Finland, Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, Scotland, Austria, Poland, Hungary and Switzerland do not fluoridate water.

Oh, despite us Finns not fluoridating water, there's quite a lot of it in well water.
Finland
Kuopio is the only community in Finland with at least 70,000 people that has ever had water fluoridated.[56] Kuopio stopped fluoridation in 1992.[86] In regions with rapakivi bedrock (small, but densely populated regions), 22% of well waters and 55% of drilled well waters exceed the legal limit of 1.5 mg/L; generally, surface and well waters have 0.5-2.0 mg/L fluoride in affected regions.
man we are like 2 years away from putting lead back in the gasoline at this point
Don't give them ideas.
It's got what lungs crave.
I hate to break it to you, but they never stopped using it in airplanes.
The dose makes the poison, we can see in blood lead levels over time that we've basically solved the problem by eliminating it from car exhaust, which we breathe pretty regularly.
If you live within 1 mile of an airport you will have high amounts of lead in your blood. Maybe not as much as before, but still higher than there should be.
Fluorida…
lmao first state after UTAH, of all places. talk about a state whose whole economy relies on their smiles.. jesus joseph smith that's wild
florida fell out of the news cycle after desantis abandoned his bid for the presidency.
Still, the Florida man that stopped a street fight via vehicular manslaughter, etc. has DeShittits beat, IMHO. That man is exemplary of his state. (Works both ways.)
Dumbest of the dumb. If you really want to belitin conspiracies and want to fight that machine, put Desantis and his wife in jail for diverting tax dollars to their pet projects.
