There's a few times where I say "fluorine" or "fluorination" instead of "fluoride" or "fluoridation". that's my bad. Chalk it up to getting this video in out in enough time before school starts.

    Oh man thanks! I really appreciate the meta data coverage. Goodness knows people who dont know much about "research" need that info. Liked the video!
  • @prestohn
    im watching these while eating now, shows how entertaining your videos really are yet extremely helpful. thanks for making great content.
  • @havz0r
    wait, so you admit that certain doses of fluoride DO in fact cause IQ/developmental problems, but you rate the "fluoride->low IQ" claim as 8/10 stupid? How so?
  • @ossi8963
    This is why making scientific studies is bit tricky. You take a guy who just has been eating punch of toothpaste and then you get obvious result that the guy was kinda dumb...
  • Fluoride itself is not the cause of lower IQ rather the deficiencies it causes when taken. Fluoride antagonizes both iodine and magnesium which both are very essential in mental health. When you take fluoride everyday which is the case in many people. People take it in water and toothpastes not mentioning the dental fillings used in dentistry that releases more fluoride. Iodine deficiency which fluoride consumption promotes causes symptoms like weight gain, hair loss, fatigue and memory loss. Magnesium deficiency causes sleepiness, fatigue, loss of appetite, etc. These deficiencies setup an individual to a poor state of mental health. It's advisable to increase your iodine and magnesium intake if you're going to take fluoride.

    Does fluoride lower your iq? No. Does watching Alex Jones lower your iq? Yes.
  • Toothpaste tubes in my country (Australia) carry a warning that you're not supposed to swallow it.
  • @DirtyLifeLove
    Okay, ignore the evidence and the recent suggestion to lower recommended flourish from .7 to 1.2 to .7 or lower due to research indicating neurotoxicity
  • @FYLPOC
    When a youtuber yeets a meta analysis and researchs from the past 15 years to the ground.. You know we are in the endgame now..
  • @wickdaymed8813
    Long time no see Love to watch sth from this channel again
  • @AlyxGlide
    Not every country puts fluoride in tap either, they just use fluoride paste, topically, as fluoride is supposed to be used topically & not ingested.
  • @BaronVonQuiply
    02:34 OK... this video taught me something when I went in fully expecting to just hear a video essay on things I already know. Well played, sir. Well played.
  • @sciencoking
    When paused, the period and comma keys navigate frame by frame
  • @HenriFaust
    7:28 Wait, wait, wait. Only five times more? Not more than a hundred times more? Only five times more is within the range of possible exposure as a result of water fluoridation. Before watching this video I wasn't worried about fluoridation, but if this is what passes for analysis in that meta-study and everybody is citing it as evidence, I am now very concerned.
  • @steves1015
    I might have missed this but it is also a misconception that fluoride is always added to the water. The levels in most of those countries are adjusted to be within certain safe limits. This of course means in some places the natural amount of fluoride is so high that some of the fluoride is removed from the water before it goes to the homes.
  • @briantaylor9285
    The world absolutely needs more people like you right now, man.
  • @OsscarBones
    Can you do a video about the practice of drinking hard alcohol before/after eating to "help with digestion". I always thought that was just a lazy excuse to drink alcohol.
  • @d371midus
    Pray tell, what benefit can be gained by consuming fluoride? Especially since the evidence is clear, that fluoride can only benefit teeth via direct contact/ Thus ingestion can only help teeth as it passes by them via the mouth. Now, please explain, to what benefit does an infant receive from ingesting fluoride?, When they have no teeth to decay. Would it not make more sense to provide to the public, free of charge, fluoride mouthwash? Rather than forcing mass medication? One more question, can eliminating one neurotoxin from your diet be worth it, even if there are millions of studies proving that toxin to be safe to ingest?
