> how you get homeopathy

Flouridating water supplies is more or less literally homeopathy!

The remineralization of tooth enamel through biologically active concentrations and well understood dose-response effects is actually quite different from having water remember inert substances diluted beyond Avogadro’s limit.

  • Bro I don’t know about you, but I haven’t got a lot of tooth enamel in my digestive tract, and I strive to keep it that way.

    • We’re all very lucky fluoridated water won’t grow tooth enamel in your digestive tract then, it has more than enough shit to deal with as is!

They put way too much fluoride in water for it to be homeopathy. For one, you can actually detect the levels, whereas homeopathy literally has no molecules of the active substance (the water "remembers" being near it).

  • Flouridating drinking water is like homeopathy because it's like having hemorrhoids and you go to a physician, who hands you Preparation H and instructs you to shampoo with it twice a day. That is what it's like to flouridate drinking water. Shampooing your hair with Preparation H.

    I'm not sure if this is directly relevant, but at least calm down about flouride: https://m.xkcd.com/463/
