It was so funny when I asked Gemini if fluoridated water is safe, and my next question was "what should I do if there is a release of fluorine gas?"
But I didn't attempt to bring attention to the utter cognitive dissonance.

- AStonesThrow 2y agoI hope you understand that chlorine is literally a disinfectant that's designed to kill stuff, right? Chlorine doesn't exactly appear naturally in water: humans notice when it stinks. We use chlorine to kill lower forms of life. It's only safe when it's in a concentration that won't kill us, nor noticeably harm us. At least with chlorine, they admit that's the goal is disinfection, rather than pretending it's beneficial medicine!
- buttercraft 2y agoThose two things are not even in the same category.
- AStonesThrow 2y agoThat's true! Unlike fluoridated drinking water, fluorine gas may remain in contact with your teeth long enough, and in a high enough concentration, to be clinically significant!
