Really, if someone wants to just go buy their own fluoride, they can, and you can even get dental fluoride trays for that authentic in-home dentistry experience.

The anti-flouride comments on Facebook are so stupid. I can't even . . .

I recently watched a Flat-Earth Documentary on Netflix and I must say, their reasoning is interesting.

Its shockingly dumb and delusional, but the mental gymnastics required to make Flat-Earth theory even a step away from 'mentally deranged' is impressive.

We need one about Roman Catholics and how anyone can still believe in this religion after all those sex abuse cases.

That was hard to watch , not just because of how delusional they are, but how passionate they are for somethinhg that most people don't give a crap about. The earth could be a cube for all I care, as long as everything works, it probably wouldn't enter my mind at all.



Anyway, I thought it was funny how their model of the flat earth is evolving to be more spherical with that domed sky.

I loved the part where the two flat-earthers start flirting like crazy, but she totally friend-zones the guy. The guy lived in his mom's basement and the woman was a crazy cat lady. Just cliches at this point.

“Behind the Curve”

I originally thought it was going to be a baseball doc about pitchers. Turned out to be better!

Oh....you're going to love it! I can already envision the texts I'm going to get from you after you watch it!

I know this isnt the thread for it but we should start one!

I think my favourite part was when they were screwing around with a ~$20K GPS unit to prove the Earth didnt tilt or when they were using a pond, some plywood and a laser to disprove the curvature of the Earth.

Or maybe using a flight-tracker to prove that planes couldnt land in the Southern Hemisphere, that was pretty good too.

Eratosthenes (276-194 BCE) showed that the earth was round in a simple experiment:





10 easy ways you can tell for yourself that the Earth is not flat

A friend works in telecommunications - he says the calculations he has to make only work if you account for the world being round.

This is all off topic, however, because I feel like a dentist helping me get something covered is being a patient advocate.
I moved and switched dentists and was very suspicious of what he recommended so I switched again. CBC marketplace did a story maybe 5 years ago and I think it was close to 50% of the places they went were either over charging or suggesting unnecessary procedures.

so The Canadian Agency for Drugs, Technology and Health (CADTH)
undertook a Health Technology Assesment (HTA) to assess the effectiveness, cost considerations, and safety of CWF ( community water fluoridation) programs.

Ethical issues, implementation considerations, and the potential environmental impact were also assessed.

https://www.cadth.ca/community-water...ogy-assessment

evidence highlights:
https://cadth.ca/sites/default/files...ighlight-e.pdf

Key message:
There is consistent evidence that CWF protects against dental caries in children and adults and leads to improved oral health outcomes with very uncommon and minor side effects, and that CWF programs are cost saving from a societal perspective.


medical bottom line:
There is consistent evidence to support CWF’s benefits in reducing dental caries, and insufficient or no evidence to suggest that it leads to adverse health outcomes.

the financial bottom line:
The CADTH budget impact analysis found that introducing or continuing a CWF program in Canadian municipalities resulted in cost savings compared with not introducing a CWF program or stopping an existing CWF program, under a broad societal perspective.

Implementing CWF programs is cost saving for federal, provincial, territorial,
and private budgets, but often at the expense of municipalities.
