Comment on Something not in the water: why are Queensland councils voting to remove fluoride?
Tenderizer@aussie.zone 1 day agoChlorine is to disinfect the water, fluoride is to prevent tooth decay. Fluoridated toothpaste is widely available, and it’s recently been found that relatively low levels of fluoride in the water have an adverse effect on IQ.
To be clear and so there are no misunderstandings here, I am aggressively pro-vax. I also strongly support a sugar tax.

Yeah, but the levels where it starts being noticeable (1.5mg/L) are double the level that fluoride treatment targets (0.6-0.8mg/L). It’s something to be worried about if you’re drinking well water and it’s got a natural high fluoride content, not from anything added by the water treatment processes.
