RANGELY I In April, Rangely voters will vote on fluoridation of our drinking water to continue or to stop it.
Our message is simple from proved sources. Fluoride prevents tooth decay when applied topically; fluoride is toxic to our physical health when ingested. It’s about awareness of facts/truth/proved studies: “drinking” fluoride does not reduce tooth decay, and it is toxic and causes physical disease. Our information is from Fluoride Alert, Wikipedia and other sources as…
Over 400 studies link fluoride to neurological effects, never considered when fluoridation began… https://t.co/QKL4eXUOvX
None of the alleged studies provided by nyscof link drinking optimally fluoridated water “to neurological effects” or any other harm. The only studies provided by fluoridation opponents as alleged evidence all have one, usually more, of the following characteristics:
1) The study referenced had nothing to do with drinking optimally fluoridated water (OFW);
2) The study examined exposure to fluoride ions at far higher levels than found in OFW;
3) Actual study conclusions were deliberately distorted, misused &/or misstated to fit anti-F propaganda;
4) The study conclusions only suggested a possible weak correlation (or association), not a causal relationship;
5) The study didn’t consider or adjust for numerous other factors potentially associated with the alleged risk, and it proved nothing;
6) The study was unrepeatable;
7) The study was demonstrably flawed and had significant limitations
&/or
8) The claim was a complete fabrication.
