My city was featured on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night. #fluoridation #yyc #yycc #ableg #abpoli #fluoride

It was about fluoridation, and Dr. James Dickinson was quoted. I helped him and a whole host of Calgarians in 2021 to bring back water fluoridation to my home town. It's good to see its return this year... but I'm scared for the health of those Americans ending their decades of positive, sensible public health policy.

There's going to be a lot of harm done.

These achievements are astounding and should be celebrated! 👏👍💕

Ten Great Public Health Achievements — 1900-1999

#Vaccination resulting in the eradication of smallpox; elimination of poliomyelitis in the Americas; and control of measles, rubella, tetanus, diphtheria, Haemophilus influenzae Type B, and other infectious diseases in the United States and other parts of the world.

Control of Infectious Diseases resulting from #cleanwater and improved sanitation. Infections such as typhoid and cholera, a major cause of #illness and #death early in the 20th century, have been reduced dramatically. In addition, the discovery of antimicrobial therapy has been critical to successful public health efforts to control infections such as tuberculosis and sexually transmitted diseases.

Safer and Healthier #Foods have resulted from decreases in microbial contamination and increases in nutritional content. Identifying essential micronutrients and establishing food-fortification programs have almost eliminated major nutritional deficiency diseases such as rickets, goiter, and pellagra in the United States.

Healthier #Mothers and #Babies have resulted from better hygiene and #nutrition, availability of antibiotics, greater access to health care, and technologic advances in maternal and neonatal medicine. Since 1900, infant mortality has decreased 90%, and maternal mortality has decreased 99%.

#FamilyPlanning has provided health benefits such as smaller family size and longer interval between the birth of children; increased opportunities for preconceptional counseling and screening; fewer infant, child, and maternal deaths; and the use of barrier contraceptives to prevent pregnancy and transmission of human immunodeficiency virus and other STDs.

Control of Risk Factors for #HeartDisease and #Stroke such as #smoking and high blood pressure. Since 1972, death rates for coronary heart disease have decreased 51%.

Recognition of #Tobacco Use as a Health Hazard; since the 1964 Surgeon General's report on the health risks of smoking, the prevalence of smoking among adults has decreased, and millions of smoking-related deaths have been prevented.

Motor-Vehicle Safety improvements have resulted from engineering efforts to make both #vehicles and #highways safer and from successful efforts to change personal behavior (e.g., increased use of safety belts, child safety seats, and motorcycle helmets and decreased drinking and driving).

Safer #Workplaces work-related health problems, such as coal workers' pneumoconiosis (black lung), and silicosis (common at the beginning of the century) have come under better control. Severe injuries and deaths related to mining, manufacturing, construction, and transportation have also decreased. Since 1980, safer workplaces have resulted in a reduction of approximately 40% in the rate of fatal occupational injuries.

#Fluoridation of Drinking Water began in 1945 and in 1999 reaches an estimated 144 million persons in the United States. It safely and inexpensively benefits both children and adults by effectively preventing tooth decay, regardless of socioeconomic status or access to care.

#calgary abandoned #fluoridated water, #edmonton kept it

the perfect real world experiment to show #fluoridation works:

"The prevalence of #caries in the primary #dentition of children was significantly higher in Calgary, #Canada, without fluoridated water, than in Edmonton, where the water is still fluoridated, according to a study published by the journal Community #Dentistry and Oral #Epidemiology"

Molly Burke: This California city is fluoride-free. Dentists there worry about the trend spreading

"Dr. Dagon Jones, a dentist with Davis Dental Practice, said that while Davis doesn’t see particularly stark effects on oral health due to the lack of fluoride, many other places could if widespread #fluoridation is stopped.

'Community fluoridation primarily helps lower-socioeconomic-income children who really aren’t getting the best preventive care,' Jones said.

…

Jones expects that if community fluoridation is stopped nationally, however, the broad oral health effects would be very expensive for government insurance programs like Medi-Cal, which offers dental coverage for eligible Californians."

nevermind that huge pile of Samoan children that died of measles after RFK Jr. convinced their parents not to get them vaccinated. also please ignore the fact that he thinks AIDS is a government plot that has nothing to do with HIV. and nevermind that he's promised that the first evils he will combat are water #fluoridation and #chemtrails.

and finally, whatever you do, definitely don't look into what the man has to say about covid-19 and the jews.

Tweet by Donald Trump I am thrilled to announce Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as The United States Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health. The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country. Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!

In 2021 my hometown voted to return fluoridation to our city, nearly a decade after removing it.

It was returned by a vote of its citizenry.

During that election, I volunteered, donated and was eventually recruited to staff the plebiscite to support a wonderful group of community minded folks.

Read what I wrote about it then: and please don't share in a lost decade without fluoridation. You can avoid this with your advocacy.
