uly 25, 2012 — For years health experts have been unable to agree on whether fluoride in the drinking water may be toxic to the developing human brain. Extremely high levels of fluoride are known to cause neurotoxicity in adults, and negative impacts on memory and learning have been reported in rodent studies, but little is known about the substance’s impact on children’s neurodevelopment. In a meta-analysis, researchers from Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) and China Medical University in Shenyang for the first time combined 27 studies and found strong indications that fluoride may adversely affect cognitive development in children. Based on the findings, the authors say that this risk should not be ignored, and that more research on fluoride’s impact on the developing brain is warranted.

Is harvard a conspiracy theory institution?
Why do blue-pilled people keep mentioning flouride being bad as a conspiracy theory.

I have used a flouride filter for years, haters to the left

you are crazy
do you think they would just not give a fuck about the complexity of adding flouride to the drinking water a long time ago and it just sort of stuck around because society is 70 IQ when it comes to change?

Weird how you mention that extremely high levels of fluoride are neurotoxic yet fail to mention what dose the study concluded was possibly dangerous...

The thread is for calling people like you shit for brains and dumb meat trash better off dead.

You see, I've seen the rest of the studies out of curiosity yet your dumb fuck ass just asks for spoon feeding and makes dumb shit posts.

Look it up for yourself retard

Fuck you. Just to prove you wrong and how great fluoride is, I'm going to go eat a whole tube of toothpaste.

These don't work, brainlet.
Fluoride ions are in the water and cannot be removed unless you distill it several times and even then it's dubious you'll get it all.
Even reverse osmosis is insufficient for fluoride filtration.

Distillation is 100% effective against fluoride. It removes everything with a boiling point higher than water, among which is fluoride.

I bet that filter takes out all sorts of other good things from your water. You literally get free pharmaceuticals through a tap and you're just wasting them.

You're right. Water filters are not though.

A reverse-osmosis "filtration" would work, if you want to classify it as that.

>> No.10253724

>>10253597
It's technically not a filter AFAIK, but that's a silly point of contention. Most people would call it a "water filter" either way.
