Proof of the Communist Water Fluoridation Conspiracy?

[Abbot Mythos]

Has this new study proven that Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper was right?

Divisive study finds link between fluoride and childhood IQ loss

As per this article:

"Published in the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Pediatrics, it has sparked pushback from some scientists who criticize the study's methods, defend the mineral's proven dental benefits, and warn the findings may not directly apply to typical US water fluoridation levels."

But, are any of those pushy scientists 'Merican? And, even if one or two of them are, why should real 'Mericans trust any pushy, overeducated scientist over United States Secretary of Health and Human Services nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr.? And, don't ever forget, General Ripper sure sounded like he knew what he was talking about all those years ago. See for yourself:

Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper on Commies and Fluoridation of Water

"Curiouser and curiouser!" Now, this is the first conspiracy theory I remember ever hearing. So, of course, it's a personal favorite. And, like every truly great conspiracy theory, the controversy never ends. And, here's the latest twist:     

Fluoride and the brain: Largest US study ever unearths surprise new link

As per this article:

"In the first US study looking at whether the recommended fluoride levels in drinking water affects brain function, researchers have found that the hot-button mineral has no negative impacts on cognition – and may actually be giving it a boost.

University of Minnesota scientists investigated fluoride exposure and cognitive outcomes in individuals from childhood to middle life, spanning just over 40 years – a first-of-a-kind study for scope and longevity. A subset of 26,820 individuals from the 1980 High School and Beyond cohort study was randomly selected out of the total 58,270 sophomores and seniors surveyed at 1,020 American high schools and were reinterviewed numerous times through 2021.

The researchers then matched this academic data with student location and the fluoridation status in those places, taken from the US Department of Health and Human Service's Fluoridation Census (1967 to 1993). They also sourced US Geological Survey data that characterized fluoride levels in untreated groundwater, measured in 38,105 wells between 1988 and 2017. The team also accounted for the change in fluoridation guidelines, which nearly halved recommended levels in 2015.
 
What they found was that kids who had been exposed to recommended levels of fluoride in drinking water – 0.7 and 1.2 mg/liter between 1962 and 2015, and 0.7 mg/L from 2015 to present – had, on average, higher scores across the board by their final school year. They came out on top in vocabulary, reading and math."
 
So, is it even possible that *gasp * those Commies were right (But, not 'politically right.'), and Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper *gasp* had it wrong?! 'Cause it's now looking like those soulless, radical right-wingers have wanted their supporters to be stupid, as well as toothless, all along.

I love it when a conspiracy theory proliferates. Good Times!
