In other words, what happens when a population suddenly stops taking fluoride in their drinking water, like Juneau's citizenry did?
Now, thanks to a recent study led by first author and public health researcher Jennifer Meyer from the University of Alaska Anchorage, we've got new insights into the subsequent effects.
In the study, Meyer assessed Medicaid dental claim billing records for two groups of children and adolescents aged 18 or under.
One of these groups represented what the researchers call "optimal" community water fluoridation (CWF) exposure: 853 non-adult patients on behalf of whom Medicaid dental claims were filed in 2003, years before the fluoride cessation began in 2007.
The other group was made up of 1,052 non-adult patients from families who similarly met Medicaid income requirements, and who made the same kind of dental claims almost a decade later, in 2012.
[...] "By taking the fluoride out of the water supply... the trade-off for that is children are going to experience one additional caries procedure per year, at a ballpark (cost) of US$300 more per child," Meyer explained to KTOO News.

I'd cheerfully agree.
...I'd start to look at you in that special way people use for those suspected of being off their meds.
I'd stop wondering if you were off your meds.
I'd tell you that's bullshit, to your face, because I happen to know someone who believes vaccines don't work and aren't a good idea, and they're just not smart enough to distrust the government properly. It only takes one counter-example to disprove a theory.
We're veering back to off-the-meds territory...
Trump's an idiotic buffoon with enough money he can't lose (except his Presidency, if we're lucky), Epstein is entirely irrelevant but the media cater to the idiotic masses who love a good (bad) story, and Oswald was well before my time, so who gives a fuck.
As the country who for the past hundred years has more often than not BEEN the mysterious global force seeking to topple foreign governments and usually succeeding, you've got some serious house-cleaning to do before you start looking for bogeymen elsewhere.
I was going to do a line-by-line reply but the further in I got, the less I had to work with. I'm going to go feed my fish instead.

Your reinforce my point, you are someone who doesn't take history or trust of government seriously, so yes of course my ideas that are not on television seem insane to you.
What you consider hearing 'crazy talk' is actually just listenening to new ideas, which you are trained to despise not unlike pavlovs dog.
You are correct the united states govt and military have and are still subverting countries all over the world, or are a tool to do so for someone else. But this doesn't keep the civilian population safe, we are just breeders or experiments to them. Or sex slaves.
If you think epstein isnt important, then you are the cow in this picture, and you can probably get paid to repeat things on reddit to cover for child traffickers, which may suit your uninformed mercenary attitude:
