Even if RFK Jr forces Coca Cola and Pepsi to use cane sugar, I'm still going to support the little guys who have been doing it since the beginning.
@icedquinn RFK Jr is right about almost everything related to food, but I feel like people are putting way too much faith in him. There are plenty of alternative food and drinks that don't use seed oils or beet sugars and they aren't that expensive. You don't even need to go to a farmer's market or health food store to buy them, just shop in the outer perimeter of your store. Meijer has a huge selection of cane sugar sodas.
But the trouble is, those people who have been taught to believe the religion of fluoride will not be willing to even entertain the idea they could be wrong, and Orange Fascists + Scratchy Voice Anti-Vaxer supporting the idea that maybe we shouldn't be putting medication directly in the water supply just re-enforces that religious belief that they are the ones who are trying to kill us all ...

That's because
1) toothpaste has other stuff in it besides fluoride, that are likely significantly more harmful
2) toothpaste has a higher concentration of fluoride than water does, so it's not as safe to ingest as tap water
3) it's their lawyer approved messaging so that they won't get sued if you do ingest toothpaste and get an unforeseen reaction.
In massive amounts, sure fluoride is gonna be bad, just like everything else. And I've heard it recommended by fluoride advocates that it's a good idea to look for unfluorided toothpaste for children, because tap water will already have plenty and if they accidentally ingest some toothpaste (which children are more likely to do), they could go into overdose zone. Though I think the child needs to be extra toothpaste hungry for it to actually have some effect. But it's one of those "better safe than sorry" situations.
As far as I'm concerned the fluoride fear is overblown. Worst case scenario, compare your tap water concentration to what other European countries are doing, and if you're an outlier with a much higher dose (I've heard some people say this is the case for USA), advocate for a reduction.
they literally blocked another inquest demonstrating this just during the biden admin
