Fluoridation: The RCT We Still Haven't Run (But Should)
quinces6l9mo40

isn't the fact fluoride in toothpaste and brushing twice daily common likely to make it so there wouldn't be any dental harm from non-fluridated water? I've not done a deep dive on fluoride but my rough thinking is (a) it's possible it has harm (b) most people use fluoride/xylitol in toothpaste so the benefits of fluoride in water supplies seems not only negligible but likely non-existent in this day and age

This was a nice read but I don't have the slightest clue what "Goal-factored the idea of "guilty pleasures". Now loves speedrunning unabashedly" means

The common viewpoint that vapes don't really make people quit smoking because I know (x) people who went from cigarettes to vapes but never stopped vaping probably has to do with the smoker changing their mind, I think pretty strongly that most people who go from smoking to vapes (in order to quit) end up not quitting not because they can't quit vapes but because vapes cause so much less health issues than smoking they instead change their minds and decide they're fine with their cost-benefit analysis of vaping but not smoking
