Anytime anybody brings up fluoride somebody else brings up Dr. StrangeLove, it might as well be a knock knock joke. I wish people would actually look into the science. People thought DDT was unquestionably great too.



Banning DDT was one of the stupider things the government has done. The EPA studies showed no reason for it; the first EPA administrator just up and did it - against the professional scientists' recommendations. Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, which was the original "justification" for it was pure BS.


I must confess, you have an astonishingly good idea there.
