Those are based on countries with much higher levels of fluoride than the USA adds.
Follow up studies have found the levels in the USA to be perfectly safe and in fact beneficial since poor people don't get dental care like they do in other countries.
- WillPostForFood 2y agoPlease share study that shows it is safe in the US for children. The EPA allows up to 2mg/L in water and we have some evident that 1.5mg/L has negative effects on children. HN Comments were very credulous before the election. Shows how flexible belief in science is. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39235663 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39235663
- otterley 2y agoIt doesn't take much to observe that we've been fluoridating municipal water for over half a century and children are doing mostly fine. It's the actions of children's parents that contribute the most to their IQ losses.
- abletonlive 2y ago> levels in the USA to be perfectly safe because everybody drinks the same amount of water right? ridiculous position to argue from.
- boringg 2y agoI think the argument they make is fair. The levels that the US aims to have fluorinated water concentrations. If theres a bad actor county well thats on them not the standard thats set.
