Well firstly, you did not provide any specific contaminants. You did mention heavy metals, which are inherently in normal ground water. They are also controlled, as I mentioned in my last post.
Can you provide a source that states there's no processing of "it"? Can you also state what exactly "it" is? NaF, HF, SiCl4, or something else?
Also, for the third time, are you some sort of scientist? Especially one who would have knowledge of actual chemistry?
If I don't get at least somewhat of a semblance of intelligence in your reply, this is over, and you should really try to accept people trying to educate you on topics you clearly don't know.
As I've said at least a couple times, I'd be happy to provide multiple sources proving F- in water is safe. I will even help walk you through these sources. I'm all for educating people.
So, please don't reply with some stupid shit stated in that shitpost of an article you linked.
I'm genuinely trying to help/educate. So please take me up on the offer if you would like to.
So let me gets this straight. You do not refute anything I have said.
Your are right, this is over.
I proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the fluoride that is added to municipal systems comes from the smoke stack scrubbers of fertilizer plants.
You had no fucking clue about this because you don't know what the fuck you are talking about about. Did you actually study this at the university level? Hell the fuck no! Have you talked with actual water operators who explained the fluoridation process? No fucking way! But you are going to lecture me. The fucking audacity of your shit is truly amazing.
I also provided a sourced peer reviewed article that explained that adding fluoride to water when there is the presence of toothpaste and dental care is not effective.
There is a mountain of evidence comparing dental health in communities that use of fluoride artificially added and those who do not. Guess what, none of it supports adding fluoride. Why? Because it does not work when you already have basic dental care. There is no statistical difference.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6309358/
Please read carefully because it supports everything I have said. Fluoride is effective topically but there is no benefit in ingesting it.
The real conspiracy theory is somehow drinking fluoride helps teeth pre-eruption. This is pure fantasy and what people who support adding fluoride to water believe.
Your elaborate straw man is that I am saying fluoride is dangerous. Instead I said it is effective topically but not when ingested. As in, there is no beneficial effect of swallowing it.
I provided an article you chose to dismiss because the guy who wrote it has a PHD in social sciences and therefore is full of shit. I won't even go into how fucked up that is.
Because yes a research scientists is going to know about public policy!? I mean you are literally so stupid about this it isn't funny.
I get you pretend to be smart but really have zero critical thinking skills.
