Funny thing is I saw this posted on some of the anti-fluoride groups. I could touch on all the points listed. “Willingness to change with new evidence” If you have seen some of the debating here, you will find that some of the anti-fluoride guys keep repeating the same incorrect statements. We have debunked those statements. For example “isn’t effective” or “it’s a medicine”. But they will continue to repeat it regardless. “Ruthless peer review” Can someone show me this ruthless peer-reviewed papers showing the danger of fluoridation? There are organisations who have looked at 5500 papers and fluoridation shown to be safe. Major reviews show nothing wrong with fluoridation. “Invites criticism” Why is it that when we comment on the science on any of the anti-fluoride groups that we get banned? In my case I was banned for replying, to warn someone there is no free speech on the anti-fluoride group. Oh the silliness! It’s not just banning though, they will delete whole Facebook events, you can read about that story here. […]
