A YouTube video by James Laughlin arguing that fluoride in municipal water may be harmful. The speaker asserts fluoride is toxic to the thyroid, says fluoride was intended as a topical treatment for teeth rather than an ingested substance, and mentions that some US localities (e.g., Portland, Oregon) have moved to remove or filter fluoride from their water systems.
There's plenty of research on this. Is that fluoride? You know, we fluoridate our water. We put fluoride in our water systems. Fluoride is directly toxic to our thyroid, you know, and people are starting to now come back on that. And I think there's a few places in the states, but Portland, Oregon, I believe, is one that now filter out fluoride. But fluoride is a toxin. It started as a toxin and it became a thing because of teeth health. But it was only ever really meant to be put applied topically to your teeth, not taken internally.
