HOWEVER Fluoride helps protect your teeth against cavities, by making them more resistant to acid. It actually changes the chemical composition of your tooth enamel slightly. Since they've started adding it to drinking water, the rate of cavities in children has gone down tremendously. Like most other things in life, there's a balance. The amount of fluoride they put in the public water isn't going to hurt anyone. | ||

My point was that the things aren't in the least comparable. We are aware of the fluoride in our water. You keep telling people to educate themselves but instead of providing a single credible source you're telling people to google stuff which seriously makes me doubt your knowledge on the matter instead of mine. Stop pretending to know what others know and presenting yourself as some expert on the matter and then telling people to educate themselves by googling a bunch of stuff, you're not exactly convincing me here. | ||

However if you look at the large body of research that's been conducted on both sides of the debate, it's pretty clear that on the anti-vaccine side we have a whole bunch of anecdotal emotionally charged evidence, and on the pro-vaccine side we have millions of happy, healthy children. | ||

Because established science saying that the benefits of the MMR vaccine out way the risks, are quite clearly wrong, and we should listen to this guy who (usually) has limited qualifications and anecdotal evidence. My point is, the idea of scientists is someone who is solely employed to research and test these sorts of things, warning lights start flashing wildly in my head when someone urges me to look at what fluoride is; Fluoride is the reduced form of fluorine. Both organic and inorganic compounds containing the element fluorine are considered fluorides, amazing. Your call for me to educate myself seems to be a call for me to find claims that support your view. Its not my position to "inform" myself from people who are equally uninformed, that's why the system of peer reviewed medical journals exists, so that the people who are actually on the business end of my health know what they are doing. Yes it may sound scary, a group of people not you looking after your health, but in the same way you employ a mechanic to fix your car, in this society it is a necessity. | ||

This is the second time you're dodging the argument and attack me personally. First it's my lack of knowledge now it's my ego preventing me from accepting reasonable argument. You and physician are just being a bunch of douchebags so far. "Hey I'm not going to argue this subject with you because you're just gonna be unreasonable." The irony of that is incredible. | ||
