INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is investigating two leading toothpaste makers over their use of fluoride, suggesting that they are
"illegally marketing" the teeth cleaners to parents and kids "in ways that are misleading, deceptive, and dangerous."The toothpaste makers
in the crosshairs are Colgate-Palmolive Company, maker of Colgate toothpastes, and Proctor & Gamble Manufacturing Co., which makes Crest
In an announcement Thursday, Paxton said he has sent Civil Investigative Demands (CIDs) to the companies.The move is an escalation in an
ongoing battle over fluoride, which effectively prevents dental cavities and improves oral health
Community water fluoridation has been hailed by health and dental experts as one of the top 10 great public health interventions for
advancing oral health across communities, regardless of age, education, or income
mineral is a form of communist mind control, to more recent times, in which low-quality, controversial studies have suggested that high
doses may lower IQ in children.The debate was renewed earlier this year when the National Toxicology Program at the National Institute of
Environmental Health Sciences finally published a particularly contentious study after years of failed scientific reviews
The study claims to find a link between high levels of fluoride exposure and slightly lower IQs in children living in areas outside the US,
mostly in China and India
But the study's methodology, statistical rigor, risk of bias, and lack of data transparency continue to draw criticism.
