Who knew? Chattahoochee River water good to drink 'as is.'
2011-05-08
Andrew Young, former U.N. Ambassador and former Atlanta Mayor, along with Reverend Dr. Gerald Durley, Pastor of Providence Baptist Church in Atlanta,
(the usual suspects)
both inductees in the International Civil Rights Walk of Fame, expressed concerns about the fairness, safety,
racistness,
and full disclosure regarding fluoridation,
and potential North Georgia Green Monkey HIV/AIDS connection
in letters to the state's minority and majority legislative leaders.

Diet withstanding,
Studies show that despite fluoridation, tooth decay is higher in blacks. Dental fluorosis, caused by overexposure to fluoride and not brushing your teeth which can result in pitting of tooth enamel,
gayness,
and mottling of the teeth, is also higher in blacks.

The Department of Health and Human Services HHS is your friend proposes to lower water fluoride levels to alleviate the growing dental fluorosis epidemic but the Fluoride Action Network submitted scientific evidence to HHS indicating that, to preserve health,
and prevent evil White Yuppie infestation of Buckhead,
fluoridation must stop completely.

"My father had a real job was a dentist," Young said. "I formerly was a strong believer in the benefits of water fluoridation for preventing cavities. But many things that we began to do 50 or more years ago such as affirmative action, we now no longer do, because we have learned further information that changes our practices and policies."

#12  "Be sure to serve it with bacon"

Oh, definitely nice crisp bacon sprinkled on top, CF.

With little pork dumplings as a appetizer. :-D

#10  "next season's fresh seafood will have a bit of the bin laden in it too"

Normally when I eat fish, I eat salmon, Ominous. But if you can tell me what fish will "have a bit of the bin laden in it," I'll be pleased to switch.

I'll char-broil it, of course. :-D

#9  everytime you eat anything you are eating 1000 yr old dead camel, and next season's fresh seafood will have a bit of the bin laden in it too.

#8  "Every drop of water you drink has come out of a dinosaur's rear end many times over the eons."

Gee, thanks for that mental image, Anguper. >:-(

I'll have another rum and fresh orange juice, please. Or, if you're out of that, some Pinot Grigio.

#7  But they do pee in it Every drop of water you drink has come out of a dinosaur's rear end many times over the eons.

#6  Actually I don't think fish f**k. One lays the eggs and the other fertilizes them and that's it. Fish just can't have fun.

But they do pee in it and I believe their pee has as much of an impact as human generated CO2 does on global warming.

#4  It's a situation of "If a little is good, a whole lot is good."

The best science today should say that water fluoridation should be discontinued, and children should instead use fluoride toothpaste that does not taste good to swallow.

Adults to a great extent are less prone to cavities, so should use a fluoride toothpaste periodically.

On a related note, especially for women who are losing bone density, some doctors are now prescribing that they take strontium citrate (OTC), which in the bone matrix is far stronger than calcium, thus helps prevent fractures.

The one provision they need to make is that strontium is so much denser than calcium, that when they get a DEXA (bone density) test, they must inform the technician, otherwise it will look like their skeleton has turned into adamantium, like Wolverine.

#3  I used to fish in the Chattahoochee. Trust me, you don't want to drink it. It's got alligator poop in it.
