Ok obviously someone is in complete denial or just another sellout troll to the government. Way to debunk a Harvard study and all the others my “enlightened” friend lol. You really have no idea what you are talking about. BTW this is just ONE OF MANY MANY crazy things.
In US’s defense, the people don’t give a shit about their bodies too.
Eat healthier, stop smoking, and take these meds. - it’s amazing how people with chronic heart failure, hypertension, diabetes, etc. refuse to do this.
Wonderous Dr. Hrynkiw—his mind a giant glimmering diamond of neurosurgical genius, his body a mountain of rippling muscle—kicks open the sliding glass doors of the hospital’s emergency department. The wind howls behind him, the world cold and angry and white. Snowflakes, from the blizzard still raging outside, drift in around him and melt as they touch the tile floor.
“It is freezing out there!” he exclaims with rosy cheeks, as the receptionist and two young nurses faint in ecstasy at the astonishing sight of his chiseled good-looks. (They see him five days a week but they still faint every time.) Even wearing a tiny smile on his face, he exudes capability, seems indomitable, awe-inspiring. He tears off his scarf and parka and casts them to the side, revealing not only his powerful, perfectly-proportioned frame, but also full surgical garb, already donned and ready for action.
Striding forward purposefully towards the main hall, he snaps his mask into place as the head emergency paramedic—himself an impressive specimen of a man, skilled and handsome and strong—gestures with an open palm towards the large swinging double doors at the very end of the hallway and speaks in a deep voice, “Your patient has been readied for you, Doctor.” Dr. Hrynkiw continues walking forward without pause; his visage remains unchanging, his eyes fixed on the double doors. The doctor replies to the paramedic wordlessly: their huge muscular arms high-five a tremendous high five as they pass. The mighty thunderclap sound rockets down the halls and its rumbling echo causes the walls to tremble slightly.
But this high five is not only an exchange of respect between great men: the paramedic has handed the doctor a fresh pair of latex gloves! “Guts and glory, brother,” the paramedic says in a low voice, pointing at the doctor and bobbing his head. Without breaking his stride or even looking back, the doctor raises one fist into the air, the sign a champion gives to indicate victory.
At the end of the hall, two talented surgeons-in-training swing open the doors from the inside and hold them for the doctor as he passes through and enters the master chamber, the room in which the doctor performs miracles and saves lives. They bow behind him; he has taught them everything they know.
In the center of the operating room, the patient half-sits and half-lies, on the half-reclined operating room chair/table, sedated, torso and neck propped upwards, a sheet draped over his head, with just the crown of his skull exposed, already sawed open, red and wet, bare brain facing into the air, glistening under the operating room lights, gently radiating the internal warmth of life. The doctor’s elite team of eight expert assistants stand at attention around the patient, awaiting the doctor’s orders.
“Gentlemen,” says the doctor, addressing his team, “this is a delicate procedure.” They are all facing him, listening diligently, focused on his every word. “I will require all of my dexterity to perform this correctly,” he says. He speaks slowly and deliberately, with calm and confidence, but also gravitas. “Before we begin,” the doctor announces, holding up both of his hands and spreading them wide, “I must first warm up my cold fingers!” His team nods in agreement, in unison, in hushed anticipation and excitement as the doctor slowly, eagerly, tenderly reaches towards the warm, glistening brain.
The warm brain pulsates gently in response. The warm, warm brain.
I’m don’t live in your country. Your tinfoil logic doesn’t work here. No shit too much fluoride is harmful. Problem is you’re trying to apply Chinese data to the US, even when the authors THEMSELVES flat out admitted you shouldn’t. Your data is almost entirely Chinese. Quite literally. 25 out of 27 datasets. As mentioned.
Show me where the fluoride levels in the US are proven, by multiple sources, to be harmful, and I’ll concede.
Pro-tip: Don’t link to news websites when you’re trying to cite academic sources.
Authors of News Articles often misquote or miss understand scientific studies. They are Liberal Art majors not scientist so they often have no understanding what they are writing.
If you want to quote scientific research you need to quote a legitimate and respected scientific journal.
Each journal have there own standards as there many, many fields of science, and each are custom tailored for their subject matter.
You are not going to do citation for a medial journal the same way you cite for a astrophysics journal.
Science Journals also have a completely different (and annoying) citation system that is different from MLA and APA formats.
I actually do data analytics for one of the largest retail companies in North America and my GF is a chemist for a very large company… And as you might guess, you only need 1 data set from a single source in order to prove something…especially when it relates to science and research relating to humans… j/k!
That said, i do find it kind of funny that because the data set comes from China and there are multiple data sets from China that the data becomes completely irrelevant. But as you guys all might guess, depending on who wants the study conducted and who funds said study… Results may…be selective lol. But regardless, even though the data sets comes from China, you cant throw them out the window but studies from other countries would obviously be useful. That being said, if the 27/29 studies were only done in the United States and your arguement was 27/29 data sets come from the US… you cant treat this shit like the new testament either. So my advice would just to take that info with a grain of salt.
As well, China is one of the worlds largest contributors to Scientific Journal Research and Hong Kong and Shanghai consistently rank in the highest Science and Math scores per capita in the world. Not saying that debunks any points but just something to keep in mind.
Finally, your point about floride levels in the US vs China and finding US data to compare is a fair point. But as you probably already know. Human research and just… the majority of all research in general is almost always done on rats… and i feel like those dont differ too much from China to the US lol… Anyways, just some food for thought. Not trying to provoke and arguement. Just some insight.
In case someone hasn’t already seen this film.
Also, shame on Americans.
I know you can do better than this. So don’t give me excuses saying "No we can’t."
because, http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj214/Helmsley123/obama-yes-we-can.jpg
Or maybe you can’t. I personally want to believe otherwise.
You think I’m anti-American by my posts.
But you would be sadly mistaken.
I’m not anti-American.
I actually give the American race the benefit of the doubt.
Its all of you that are the anti-Americans.
You prove it.
By not giving a fuck about your country.
Or even your own very selves. Obviously, just look at your health care system, your educational system, your high rates for crime, and your sanitation system that greatly diminishes your life expectancy along with your quality of life.
You’re not a dumb people, or a lazy people, or a poor people. On the contrary. So you don’t have any excuses for your standings in comparison to the rest of the world regarding these aspects of your nation that I aforementioned which affects your lives every single day.
But your incorrect attitudes and disturbed philosophies about how your own society should be run makes you your own worst enemy.
Americans obviously don’t love themselves.
If they did then their health care system, crime rates, sanitation, and educational system would befit its 1st world nation status…which it doesn’t.
I’m not anti-American.
Just anti-idiocy.
If you become offended by my posts…that says a lot about you. And your thought processes, or lack thereof.
