Kennedy going to take on FDA

[UltraBudgie]

I started distilling water.  I'm up to about 6 gallons a week.  I use it for cooking, drinking, coffee and basically anything I would tap the fridge for. 
The amount of stinky "gunk" that's left in the tank after running a distillation is simply...disgusting.   To think we're putting it in our bodies.   No wonder health"care" is such a big business.

For youz guys that noticed the difference living in other countries and the effect on your body, there's a great story that's been around called something like "The Okinawa Study" that should be required reading in medical school

Distillation

On the Washington Post home page today:

The fluoride fights are a decades-old cultural war America can’t quit

...And so began the fluoride wars, a decades-long battle of science, urban myth, emotion and passionate division.

It’s a public debate that has invoked Nazis and Communists, mind control, public poisoning and civil rights. And with the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — who promises to end fluoridation of public water — to the Cabinet of President-elect Donald Trump, it’s part of today’s politics.

Tooth decay had long been a profound public health issue in America...

“Like the pasteurization of milk and the iodization of salt, fluoridation was delivered publicly rather than privately,” they wrote. “Those that wished to avoid the governmental benevolence had to work to do so.”

As hundreds of studies were published establishing the dental benefits of fluoride and debunking medical concerns, the nation continued to see hundreds of votes, lawsuits and legislative battles over the practice.

A Canadian paper, the Kingston Whig-Standard, boiled the conflict down in a 1972 editorial that said, “This is not a public-health issue. It is a civil rights issue.”
NIH calls it an “achievement ranking with the other great preventive health measures of our century.”

Not one word about recent studies on the effects of fluoride, its neurotoxity or potential impact on children's IQ and development. No, it's a "culture war", and hey, it's good for teeth. So I guess we can keep fluoridating water and eating refined sugar, and it'll cancel out, like when you have a Diet Coke with your Big Mac.


Edit to add: If these people are fluoride users, they are not making a convincing impression that it does not affect IQ: https://www.youtube.com/live/ZpBjEdkZKFE?t=4936s
