Speaker 1: to find out more. Hey, and welcome to the podcast.

9
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: It's stuff you should Know with Josh Clark that's me

10
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: and Charles W. Bryant that's you, right, And this is

11
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: really stuff you should know. Yeah, not like the usual

12
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 1: gobbledegook that we just toss out there. This is this

13
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: is an important one. Sure, I think so too. We're

14
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: talking about what the CDC classifies in the top ten

15
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: accomplishments of public health of the twentieth century. Indeed, and

16
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: also might be one of the most the faririest pots

17
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: that are perpetrated on the global public good stuff. Let's

18
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: do it. Let's do it, Chuck. We're talking about fluoride,

19
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: the seemingly innocuous stuff that is added to our water

20
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: supply and our toothpaste, and our pills, diet pills, mouthwash,

21
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: what else, um, soft drinks, Well, that stuff that we ingest.

22
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: It's also in rat poison and things like that. Antipsychotic medications,

23
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: paint are not pain killers, tranquilizers. Yeah, it's all over

24
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: the place. And actually it is exceedingly difficult to get

25
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: rid of or to get away from, anything that has

26
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: water in it. Uh, say, a soft drink is going

27
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: to have fluoride in it too, because pretty much all

28
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: of our water has fluoride in it, at least here

29
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: in the States of American cities fluoridate their own water

30
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: flooridate water that already has naturally occurring fluoride in it,

31
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: which is hinky. It is hinky. Let's let's talk about

32
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: fluoride first, right back in the nineteen forties here in

33
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: the States. We should also say, around the world, this

34
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: is not necessarily the case. There are some countries that

35
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: absolutely don't floridate water. Some used to. Yeah, Denmark and

36
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: Switzerland are among those that used to and don't anymore.

37
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: France never did. But in the States we've been hot

38
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: and heavy about floridating water for a long time since

39
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: when Grand Rapids Michigan became the first um city to floridate,

40
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: to add fluoride to it's already fluoridated water. Uh. And

41
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: Grand Rapids became the kind of model city for this.

42
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: It was studied extensively. Uh. And the whole reason we

43
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: started floridating water is and as Chuck likes to say,

44
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: I find the shinky. Uh. Scientists discovered that areas where

45
00:02:54,240 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: naturally occurring fluoridated water was being drunk by the citizens. UM.

46
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: They also there was also a correlation with a decline

47
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: and dental carries all about the teeth. Dental carries are

48
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: any kind of signs of decay, like a cavity or

49
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: something like that. It's an umbrella term form. Right. So

50
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: they decided, hey, we should add floride to the water

51
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: and put it in toothpaste, and uh, we'll we'll get

52
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 1: our teeth in shape here in this country. And since then,

53
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: everybody's fine with fluoride. It's totally cool. You know, if

54
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: you'll remember, toothpaste used to be touted with with fluoride.

55
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: It's actually a little more difficult to find that little

56
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: label these days. Right. The ad A American Dental Association

57
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: says it's great the organization. They came out in nineteen

58
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: sixty nine and said it's good stuff. Big, big organizations

59
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: are behind it. And uh, there actually has been a

60
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: major decline in tooth decay since then. Back in the forties,

61
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: the early forties, I believe in the US, the average

62
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: kid had fifteen dental carries. Right, that's a lot. That

63
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: a lot, I mean, that makes me look good. Do

64
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: you have a lot of cavities or a lot of fillings?

65
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: I'm like a crackhead over here. Yeah, my my. I

66
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: remember when I was a kid and I kept getting

67
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: fillings every time. I rather sardonic, Lee told my dentist

68
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: one time, why don't you just go ahead and fill

69
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: them all? Right now? Just get it over with. You

70
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: were sardonic way back then, said I keep coming back

71
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: in here, and you do a couple every time, So

72
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: once you just go ahead and do them all. And

73
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: he said, well, that's no kind of attitude, really, right,

74
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: And I went yeah, And all of a sudden, you

75
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: forgot what you were talking about exactly. Yeah. So UM

76
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: again Floride endorsed across the board almost by almost every

77
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: major UM dental association, public Health Association, the c d C,

78
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: as we said, the World Health Organization, and they all

79
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: point to studies that show that floride is perfectly fine

80
00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: even though it's an insecticides and rat poisons and tranquilizers. Right. Um,

81
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: The problem is there are also plenty of studies that

82
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: have surfaced or been conducted over the years that show

83
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: fluoride is not necessarily fine. Now are we gonna get

84
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: into the dark side? Now? Is it time? I don't

85
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: see any reason to hold off any longer. I mean,

86
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: what have we we talked about? How you know there's

87
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: been a decrease in dental carries since fluoride was introduced

88
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: or right? The thing is, the impression I have is

89
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: everybody seems to be okay with adding fluoride to toothpaste,

90
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: But it's the water supply that really gets people's ire up, right, right,

91
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: I think, because it's already in there, not just that.

92
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: And also we should say that the optimal, as far

93
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: as the e p A Is concerned, the optimal amount

94
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:51,239
Speaker 1: of fluoride added to drinking water is four parts per million, right, yes, indeed,

95
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: and and anything over that up to fourteen parts per

96
00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: million is considered dangerous. Right And way back in nineteen

97
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: any to the National Academy of Sciences estimated that more

98
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: than two hundred thousand people in the US we're drinking

99
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: water with fluoride levels above four parts per million. And

100
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: what are some of the dangers. Well, some of the

101
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: dangers are discoloration and corrosion of your teeth, which is

102
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: called dental fluorosis. Yeah, which is ironic that it's something.

103
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: The whole point of fluoride is to prevent dental decay,

104
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: and over exposure or prolonged exposures, say, oh, I don't know,

105
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: over the course of a lifetime. Um, it can actually

106
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: degrade your teeth's health. It can actually accelerate decay, and

107
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: not just teeth but bones as well, which is skeletal fluorosis.

108
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: It can also cause seizures. It can also cause a

109
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: severe gastro intestinal upset, can lower your i Q supposedly allegedly,

110
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: well that's not necessarily allegedly. There's a bunch of studies,

111
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: um that have been shown that there is at least

112
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: a correlation between high fluoride exposure and low i Q. Right,

113
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: China is big on that. Actually, there's been a slew

114
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: of studies to come out of China that show that

115
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: UM and the Chinese have also conducted other studies outside

116
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: of China, so it's not just China that's got heavily

117
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: fluoridated dummies, you know. Um, So Chuck, I guess now,

118
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: let's let's pull the trigger. Let's get into the whole

119
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: conspiracy aspect of this. Yes, there's something called the florid conspiracy,

120
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: which we've found quite disturbing. We did speak for you, Yeah,

121
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: please do. And Um, should we go back to and

122
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: kind of set up how this happened. Yes, let's go

123
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: back in time, Josh, like we'd love to do to.

124
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: So are years from the release of Ghostbusters. Uh. The I. G.

125
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: Farben Company in Germany, they're a chemical manufacturing company. They

126
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: started getting loans from banks here in America. So what

127
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: that led to was Henry Ford and American Standard Oil

128
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: merged with I. G. Farban and in the early thirties,

129
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: all of a sudden there were more than a hundred

130
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: corporations who had cooperatives and subsidiaries in Germany. So, all

131
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: of a sudden, we have a lot of a lot

132
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: of manufacturing and business going on in Germany. Early thirties.

133
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: Flash forward a little bit to thirty nine, under the

134
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: Altet agreement, and the American Aluminum Company, which is the

135
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: largest producer of sodium fluoride, and Dow everyone knows about

136
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: doll the chemical company. They transfer technology to Germany as well.

137
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: So all of a sudden you have what's known as

138
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: the fluoride mafia quote unquote, because that was the largest

139
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: producer of sodium fluoride in the world at the time, right, right,

140
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: And I guess we should say that here's the deal.

141
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: Fluoride is a byproduct of a lot of manufacturing processes.

142
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: Hydrofluoria solicic acid is exactly. Um. We should also say

143
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: at this point that the studies that are conducted on

144
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: the dangers of fluoride, which no one disputes, you can,

145
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: there is such a thing as fluoride toxicity. That's fact.

146
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: Sin dispute is number one, whether or not it will

147
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: actually affect intelligence, and number two, whether the risks of

148
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: Florida toxas city outweigh the benefits to dental health. Right, okay, right, right, okay,

149
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: So go ahead, Chuck. So now, uh flash forward a

150
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: little bit more into World War two. Uh, the U. S.

151
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: Government sends a guy named Charles Elliott Perkins and he's

152
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: a research a chemistry guy. Uh. They sent him to

153
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: Germany to work with the chemical plants over there with

154
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: the I. G. Farban Co Company, and a German chemissaire

155
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: told him of a scheme which was devised that the

156
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 1: German chemists were going to know they had been they

157
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: had been giving floride to prisoners of wars. That right,

158
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: they were fluoridating, heavily fluoridating from from how I take it,

159
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: at the water at the pow camps in Germany to quote,

160
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: make them stupid and docile. Yes, interesting, very interesting. So

161
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: apparently that that caught the attention of the Americans. It did. Indeed.

162
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: Nine Gerald Cox, who was a chemist employed by the

163
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: Aluminum company, Yeah, concludes in a study with lab rats

164
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: that floride reduces the cavities, dental cavities. And this is

165
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: where everything just kind of picks up from there, like

166
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, fluoride is associated with the reduction

167
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 1: in dental caries, and now we need to just start

168
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: adding it to our drinking water, right right. Seven Oscar Ewing,

169
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: who was a longtime attorney for the Aluminum company, is

170
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: appointed head of the Federal Security Agency, which places him

171
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: in charge of the public Health Service, and over the

172
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: next three years after that, seven American city started floridating

173
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: their water. Right. And this is just an early example

174
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: of the revolving door. You know about the revolving door, right,

175
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: we've talked about it before school me Um. It's like, uh, Paulson, yeah, yeah, yeah.

176
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: Paulson when he was head of the Treasury, he was

177
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 1: a Goldman Sacksman, and of course kush Kari he was

178
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: a Goldman Sacksman too. It's just it's the revolving door.

179
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: Is basically this this um interaction, this interplay between the

180
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: private sector and public office. So the private sector will

181
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: send some of their top people to serve in public office,

182
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: affect policy change that helps this private sector, and then

183
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: they come out and get huge bonuses in a Kush job. Exactly.

184
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: This is exactly what you're talking about now with Oscar

185
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: ewing in right. We need to keep saying that word.

186
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: So basically, Josh, the eliminum manufacturing and fertilizer and weapons

187
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: industries start conducting this education and research for fluoride, saying

188
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: how great it is when it's one of their biggest byproducts,

189
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: and apparently the deal is it's very expensive byproduct to

190
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: get rid of it is, but it's also toxic waste.

191
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: So very conveniently, they have all these studies that come

192
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: out and say, hey, it's really good for you and

193
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: by these companies, and we just happen to have a bunch.

194
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: So let's start selling it to municipalities to put into

195
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: their water supply. Right, should we talk about Eddie Burne's

196
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: Edward Burne's Real Quick? Yeah? I and actually, Chuck, we

197
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: had we had a suggestion from one of our listeners

198
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: a while back, UM when we talked about I think

199
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: it was the Propaganda episode, Um, and he sent in

200
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: some stuff about Edward Burney's. I think Edward Burnet's actually

201
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: deserves his own podcast. This guy created PR and like

202
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: the kind of thank you for smoking PR the original

203
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: spin doctor, I'd like to I think we should do

204
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: one on him. I agree. So Barney's is um funded

205
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: by these industrialists to try and encourage this PR campaign

206
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: that it's good for you. You're gonna read the quote alright.

207
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: So Berne's is quoted as saying you can get practically

208
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: any idea accepted if doctors are in favor. The public

209
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: is willing to accept it because the doctor is an

210
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: authority to most people, regardless of how much he knows

211
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: or doesn't know how about that, which is true. Uh.

212
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 1: And actually, Chuck, I should say, um, you know my

213
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: cute little girlfriend, she's sharp as attack. Uh. She and

214
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: I were watching something about a like an elliptical machine

215
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: or something. It was an infomercial for it, and they

216
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: had this doctor on and he was touting the the

217
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: health benefits of this machine. But it said his name

218
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: and then new York cardiologist, and it just completely went

219
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: over my head. And she she stopped him, was like,

220
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: what is the fact that he's a New York cardiologist

221
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: had to do with anything? And I realized, like, New

222
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: York cardiologist had just buzzed into my brain and it

223
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: was an infomercial. So I took the guy with a

224
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: grain of salt to begin with. But I did not

225
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: notice at all that it was a New York cardiologist

226
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: I was listening to. But I'm sure that that still

227
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: had an effect the legitimacy that this guy had. In

228
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: my opinion, if it would have said de Moine pediatrician,

229
00:13:53,080 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: you probably wouldn't have Pian Detroit even work for eau

230
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: Claire was Canton was Canton. So, uh, basically, these doctors

231
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: weren't necessarily bad guys and ladies, but they never really

232
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 1: got these studies. A lot of these studies were allegedly suppressed,

233
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: and people that oppose it were, you know, called cranks

234
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: and quacks, and so all these doctors are seeing these

235
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: cooked studies, essentially cooking the books. Nice Chuck, allegedly get

236
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: him Chuck recently declassified documents about the Manhattan Project Josh,

237
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: where we made the atomic bomb, found out that floride

238
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: is a key chemical ingredient in the atomic bomb. Even

239
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: worse than that, though, there was a an A. D. A. M.

240
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: Study that apparently said that floride does pose a health risk,

241
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: and the Atomic Energy Agency actually redacted much of this study.

242
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: So when the American Dental Association is being redacted by

243
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: the Atomic Energy Agency, that's that should raise some sort

244
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: of flag, you know. The reason they gave though? What

245
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: national security? Yeah, and apparently, Chuck, when whenever the government

246
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: pulls out national security, including lawsuits which are arch nemesis.

247
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: Ira Glass recently covered in a This American Life story

248
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: on the origins of things. Um, there's absolutely nothing you

249
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: can do, like that's that's it. The judges says, well,

250
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: this case can't be tried. Well, you know what else

251
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: happened in two thousand three? The Water Act. Yeah, the

252
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: Water Act was passed. And one of the little things

253
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: in the Water Act that you may not know about people,

254
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: is that it made it impossible for water companies to

255
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: undergo civil or criminal hearings as a result of adding

256
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: fluoride to public water. So they basically said, you can't

257
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: see him because we passed the Water Act. So if

258
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: someone finds out something awful, there's nothing you can do

259
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: about it to make money. So again we should go

260
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: back and say that if you ask the c d C,

261
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: the A d AH, the World Health Organization, if you

262
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: ask any of these agents the's is Florida dangerous? They

263
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: will conclusively say no. Or we should say it, does

264
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: Florida give you cancer? They will say no. Of course,

265
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: there are plenty of studies out there that link floride cancer. Again,

266
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: though these studies appear to be repressed. Have you heard

267
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: of Philos Melanax. Yeah, let's talk about her. She was

268
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: what a Harvard researcher, Yeah, toxicologists. She was a New

269
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: York cardiologist in the Yeah, and um, she was about

270
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: to publish a study um on the link between cancer

271
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: and floride. Was that right? Well, yeah, she she thought

272
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: that it might lead to lower i Q and and

273
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: a couple of Yeah, because some uh during her studies

274
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: of rodents, they were displaying um symptoms and signs of

275
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: a d h D. Uh. And we'd also are already

276
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: long known that fluoride exposure causes um osteo sarcomas, which

277
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: is bone cancer in rats. Um. But she okay, So

278
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: she was doing the link between a d h D,

279
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 1: lower i Q and fluoride and she was fired a

280
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 1: couple of days before her UM findings were published. So

281
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 1: she goes to the National Institutes of Health for research

282
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: grant to continuous studies, and they said floride does not

283
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 1: lower i Q, it does not affect intelligence and turned

284
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: her down and said sorry, we have no money for you.

285
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: And National Institutes of Health they're not supposed to write

286
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: the conclusions for researchers before their studies are published. And

287
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: you know what she was fired from. What her job was.

288
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: She was ahead of toxicology at the Forsyth Dental Center

289
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 1: in Boston. Yeah. Interesting, the plot is getting so thick.

290
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: I can barely put my hand in it. It is.

291
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: This is honestly, I'd never heard of this. And Ben Bowling,

292
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: they did UH on the soon to be released stuff

293
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: they don't want you to know a video podcast. They

294
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: did one on floride, so we kind of borrowed from them. Well,

295
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 1: we actually asked Ben the Godfather for his blessing and

296
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: he very generously gave it to us. Right. Um, so

297
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: chuck the here's the biggest one to me. This is

298
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: this is the one that gets me the most. Okay. So,

299
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: the studies that show that fluoride poses little to no

300
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: health risk if it's delivered at four parts per million

301
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: or less in fluoridated water UM Number one or about

302
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: twenty years old, UH and number two were conducted using

303
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: pharmaceutical grade sodium fluoride. This is the stuff that actually

304
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 1: is in toothpaste, really high grade stuff. Um. And that's

305
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 1: why no one really has any problem with fluoride and toothpaste.

306
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: It's the fluoride in the drinking water supply. As we

307
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: said earlier, the people are worried about. One of the

308
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: reasons why is that while some cities do put sodium

309
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: fluoride in their water supply. It's still not pharmaceutical grade,

310
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: and even worse, a lot of cities use hydrofluora solicic acid, which, Chuck,

311
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: you mentioned that it's a byproduct of fertilizer production, UM

312
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: munitions production, UM aluminum production, scrubbed from the smoke stacks.

313
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: Say it again, Chuck, scrubbed from the inside of smoke

314
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 1: stacks of fertilizer plants, fertilizer plants and put into our water,

315
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: put into truck, shipped to water um treatment plants where

316
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: it sold the cities and inserted into the water supply. Dude,

317
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: I'm not Mr. Conspiracy guy. I kind of its interests me,

318
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: but this is one of those where I was I

319
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: was blown away. Well, I think the gray irony of

320
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 1: this podcast is that the um aluminum foil hats were

321
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: wearing were actually produced by ALCA. I mean, come on,

322
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: how's that for full circle? Yeah, but we're not getting

323
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: any it's bouncing off all the radio electric or radiomagnetic

324
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: electromagnetic waves. What am I saying? Do you? I know

325
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 1: what you're saying, buddy. So that's um, that's florid. Actually

326
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: that's kind of just the tip of the iceberg. Really,

327
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: one thing that I took hard in is that, Um,

328
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: it seems like more and more legitimate groups are undertaking

329
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: studies or reevaluations of some of the studies that were

330
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 1: conduct did on whether or not fluoride poses a health

331
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 1: risk starting in the twenty one century. UM. And it

332
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: looks like people are starting to take a slightly more

333
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 1: scrutinizing view of it because they were Burns is long dead,

334
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 1: and so are all of the revolving door people who

335
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: got this whole thing started. So we'll see, right. The

336
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: e p A is one of them. Actually, thank god

337
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: I saw one of their scientists in their union chapter

338
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: two eighty it is taking a big stand against it,

339
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: Dr William Hersey, And he's the vice president of that

340
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: chapter of the e p A. And he says that

341
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: quote fluoride is a hazardous waste product for which there

342
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 1: is substantial evidence of adverse health effects and contrary to

343
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: public perception, virtually no evidence of significant benefits. Boom right.

344
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: And when a scientist union starts talking, it's bad because

345
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: you've got eggheads and leg breaking um teamsters rolled into one.

346
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 1: You don't want to mess with that. A teams NERD

347
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: combo is deadly and actually, if you're looking for a

348
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: legitimate source, a legitimate voice of opposition to fluoridating water,

349
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 1: should check out anything Dr Hardy Lineback has written. He's

350
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: an associate professor of dentistry and the head of the

351
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: preventative he's the head of preventative Dentistry at the University

352
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: of Toronto. He's a vocal opponent of floridating water, and

353
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: he's got some great points. Yea Hardy Lineback, crime back,

354
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: cool stuff. Josh, Yeah, that's that's it. We should probably, uh,

355
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: we'll have to find another conspiracy one to do, because

356
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: our conspiracy ones really get people going. People love that

357
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: c I and LSD fake moon landing. Actually mk ultra

358
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: was used in some of these experiments that was part

359
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: of the under the mk ultra umbrella. This floor ideal. Well,

360
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,199
Speaker 1: there's like two hundred forty nine or a hundred and

361
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: forty nine programs under mk ultra. So he's gonna get

362
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: to floride sooner or later, especially if the Nazis are saying, dude,

363
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: it totally makes your popular anatians docile. Yeah, and they're

364
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: like you should try LSD. Yeah. There was a big

365
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:11,959
Speaker 1: exchange was just wow, pretty cool? Is it? Time four

366
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: listener mail? All right, Josh, I'm gonna call this I've

367
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: got a couple here. I'm gonna call it an answer

368
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: to our query that we posed, which one when we

369
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: asked what the woman who had the lightning go through

370
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: a kitchen and we actually asked yea Paloma. So, Josh,

371
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: if you remember, Paloma wrote in and said that she

372
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: had this lightning travel through her kitchen and allowed buzzing

373
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: popping sound and put it right in front of her

374
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: face and passed from one wall to another, absolutely but

375
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 1: left her totally unharmed, totally unharmed, and it didn't even

376
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: leave a mark on any of the walls that it

377
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: passed through. It did not. And there was no thunder

378
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,479
Speaker 1: in the area afterward, right or there was, but it

379
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: was far away, Okay, no loud clap of thunder. So

380
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: this one is actually we had a few people right in.

381
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 1: But this is from Tyler. He's a grad student at

382
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: the Department of Chemical Engineering in Material Science at the

383
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 1: University of Minnesota, class of oh He's a youngster, he is.

384
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 1: He says, uh, I nearly lost it when I heard

385
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: your quandary. Today. I've been listening to you guys for

386
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: months and never felt had anything truly worthy to add.

387
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: But now I'm thrilled. My older sister had gotten a

388
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: series of time Life books, remember those containing a plethora

389
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: of odd and amazing stories. I think, yeah, yeah, Well

390
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: I had the Old West series that was the best.

391
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: One shot a man for storing too loud um. When

392
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: she moved, I took up the collection and let them

393
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 1: gather dust. However, I recently started reading them, and uh,

394
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: they're both entertaining and revealing. The story you read on

395
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: the air sounds very close to ball lightning. The only

396
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: major difference is that the writer didn't mention any damage

397
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: to your house, and most ball lightning stories, UH do

398
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 1: note some some damage. So I'm not a hundred percent sure,

399
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: but it sounds like ball lightning. So we got that

400
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: from Tyler, and we also got that from Kent and

401
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: Elgin Illinois, Brian and Montana who Sarah of unknown origins

402
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: Kelsey and a story in New York and Finn again

403
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: also said that, and he also requested that I do

404
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: my cheek thing and say Ponzi. But fin again, Josh

405
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: and I are not dancing monkeys to perform trips for you.

406
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: It's a bun sre. You're so easy. I am so easy. Yeah,

407
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: so thanks to all of you for writing that in.

408
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 1: I have to say, as far as I know, Ball

409
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: Lightnings existence has never been conclusively proven. But again, you

410
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: know me, that doesn't doesn't necessarily mean anything, Josh soft

411
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 1: encounter Clark, Yeah, soft encounter with fact. Does that make sense? Yeah?

412
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: All right, Well, if you want to send us anything,

413
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: um whatever, send us something. We're not going to call

414
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: for anything because every time we do, we get a

415
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: bunch of stuff. I want a bunch of different stuff.

416
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: Whatever people want to do. And Chuck, didn't you want

417
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 1: to issue a command for this stuff? You should know nation? Oh,

418
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: I did you know? It's prusing iTunes? And I was

419
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: looking at some of our reviews, which some are very kind,

420
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: some aren't so kind, some people don't like fine, whatever,

421
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: But we only had like seven comments, and I saw

422
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: that Adam Carolla's podcast had like five thousand. I should

423
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: say at this point, Chuck flew into a rage. He

424
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: broke chairs, he uh finished off a fifth of whiskey,

425
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: and he groped anything in sight, including me. It was ugly.

426
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: It was ugly, So I just thought i'd say, hey, guys,

427
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 1: go to iTunes if you will at some point and

428
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: leave a comment and review in the Stuff you Should

429
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: Know section. It doesn't have to be great. If you

430
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 1: don't like it, then you can say that too. But

431
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: I just want to get the count up a little higher.

432
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: So that is my call. We have a lot of

433
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: listeners and not many of them have responded yet, so

434
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: let's hear it. It's such a clear abuse of power.

435
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: Please disgusting, pretty please? All right, So if you want

436
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 1: to send us an email about anything at all, remember
