Utah to Become First State to Ban Fluoride in Public Water​

Most public-health experts say the mineral additive is crucial protector against tooth decay​



"...The Republican governor said that half the state already doesn’t have fluoride added to the water and that dentists he had spoken to said there haven’t been dramatic differences between the different counties.

“It’s got to be a really high bar for me if we’re going to require people to be medicated by their government,” said Cox on ABC4 Utah.

“It’s not a bill I felt strongly about; it’s not a bill I care that much about, but it’s a bill I will sign,” he said.

The Utah law is set to take effect in early May. It will be the first state with such a ban. ..."

"...Typically, local municipalities decide whether to add fluoride to their water, though some states require water systems of a certain size to fluoridate. Lawmakers in states including Kentucky and South Dakota have filed bills to challenge those mandates.

Lawmakers in states including North Dakota, Tennessee and Montana have also attempted to follow in Utah’s footsteps and pass bills banning the practice statewide.

...As of 2022, about 72% of the U.S. population on community-water systems were receiving fluoridated water, according to CDC data. However, many European countries, such as France and Germany, don’t add fluoride to their water.

Some cities that chose to defluoridate later added fluoride back to the water supply. The Canadian cities of Calgary and Windsor both chose to refluoridate after studies found an uptick in tooth decay.

Critics of the practice notched a victory last year when a federal judge in California ruled that the CDC-recommended fluoride level—0.7 milligrams per liter—posed an unreasonable risk of harm. The judge said the fluoride level didn’t comply with federal standards requiring an exposure level below one-tenth of the level at which a substance is hazardous. He ordered the Environmental Protection Agency to take regulatory action in response, but didn’t specify what it should be.

...The criticism of fluoride as an additive gained greater prominence with the ascendance of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

He called the mineral “an industrial waste” in a social-media post late last year.

“I was called a conspiracy theorist because I said fluoride lowered IQ,” Kennedy said at his confirmation hearing. “JAMA published a meta-review of 87 studies saying that there’s a direct inverse correlation between IQ loss.”

Kennedy appeared to be referring to a review published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Pediatrics. The review, which analyzed 74 studies, found that exposure to high levels of fluoride was associated with lower IQ scores in children. The levels studied, however, were more than twice as high as what is recommended by the CDC—and the authors noted that many of the studies had a high risk of bias. ..."
 
RFK hoping to eliminate food additives without testing. I approve. The FDA makes drug companies do mountains of research before they approve stuff to go in our bodies. The F part of that agency isn't doing that same sort of scrutiny.

"US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy has begun the process of eliminating a US Food and Drug Administration program called GRAS, or “generally recognized as safe,” that critics say has been abused by the food industry for decades.

Nearly 99% of new chemicals used in food or food packaging since 2000 were green-lit for use not by the FDA but by the food and chemical industry, according to a 2022 analysis."

 

White House to Withdraw Weldon as CDC Nominee​

Medical doctor and former GOP congressman had doubted vaccine safety​



“The White House plans to withdraw President Trump’s nominee to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, according to people familiar with the matter.

A Republican familiar with the nomination said Dr. Dave Weldon didn’t have the votes in the Senate to be confirmed.

…
The White House decided at the last minute to pull his nomination, a person familiar with the matter said. Axios earlier reported that the White House had withdrawn Weldon’s nomination to lead the CDC.

Weldon, a former Republican congressman who has expressed skepticism about vaccine safety in the past, is an internist who served in Congress from 1995 to 2002 representing Florida’s 15th congressional district. He has since been in private practice.

This is the first time that a CDC nominee requires Senate confirmation after Congress in recent years added the requirement for leaders of the agency responsible for investigating infectious disease and guarding public health. …”

Weldon is a long-time vaccine skeptic.

“… Trump’s other picks to lead agencies within the health department include Dr. Marty Makary, a Johns Hopkins surgeon, to lead the Food and Drug Administration; Dr. Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford University, to lead the National Institutes of Health; and Mehmet Oz, a heart surgeon best known as the host of TV’s “The Dr. Oz Show,” to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Each would need to be confirmed by a majority vote in the Senate. Republicans have 53 seats there to the Democrats’ 47 seats. …”

cod liver oil is pretty great but claiming that it treats measles is lolz.

anyone who wants to get on the cod liver oil train for general health, i do recommend: Rosita® USA - Raw & unprocessed fish liver oils + real foods
 
There is no difference between immunity gained from a vaccine and immunity gained from an infection. Both trigger the exact same immune system responses. Well, I shouldn't say exact because I don't actually know THAT, but they are the same for these purposes.

If measles immunity isn't long term, then why don't we see old people getting measles in great numbers? Someone should ask RFK JR if a) he received an MMR vaccine; and b) whether he's ever contracted measles. He's had time and opportunity to contract all sorts of weird infections.
 
My mom (a registered nurse) is very excited about RFK and specifically about Steak ‘n Shake moving to beef tallow fries. Apparently this is a big deal among conservatives- I thought it was just weird bodybuilders who were obsessed with seed oils.
