    I would really think that after all these memes and making fun of Tylenol and pregnancy someone would do a TikTok of it, just because its trendy to oppose everything from them. There are too many idiots (okay the largest portion of them is on the MAGA side), but still…

        To be fair, there is evidence of harm by fluoride. It’s not as significant as they make it out to be though, and it potentially helps a lot of people. That said, I do somewhat agree with the stance. The US is (currently) a developed nation that has plenty of access to toothpaste with fluoride. Fluoride deficiency is not really a concern here. With that, and the harm it causes, I’m slightly in favor of its removal from water. However, it needs to be done in a way to prevent fear mongering and taking things beyond this.
