With a Grain of Salt (Due To The Fact That You Can Not Constantly Believe Whatever You Listen To or Read).

With a Grain of Salt (Since You Can’t Constantly Believe Every Little Thing You Hear or Review).

I always ask yourself if the ‘professionals’ who show up on the early morning shows (The Today Program; Great Early Morning America; CBS Morning Show) have any type of suggestion that they regularly appear silly to probably half individuals that are paying attention to them.
Consider the various other early morning, as an example. According to one ‘expert,’ dental experts around the country are extremely stressed because individuals are drinking a lot bottled water, as well as, as a result, are not getting enough fluoride from alcohol consumption tap water.
” It is easy to consume alcohol fluoridated faucet water,” the specialist stated. “Everyone can simply switch on their tap as well as drink fluoridated water.”.
Really?
Everybody?
What about those individuals who consume well water and are not hooked into a community water supply that fluoridates the water?
I do not find out about people that endure in the country in other components of the USA, yet around right here in Wisconsin, we do not mount systems to fluoridate our well water. Often people will certainly provide fluoride tablets to their youngsters to stop dental caries, and also the institution areas will certainly likewise provide fluoride tablets to country kids, but from what I have actually reviewed, fluoride tablets may not be such a great suggestion, either. I have actually checked out that fluoride can depress thyroid activity and that physicians utilized fluoride up till the 1950s to treat thyroid problems.
Whether the insurance claims concerning the threats of fluoride are true or otherwise, I can not claim for sure due to the fact that I am not a research study scientist that has actually investigated fluoride. What I can say for certain is that if you do a Google search for “fluoride” and “thyroid” even more than 300,000 references turn up. And when you start to check out through the websites summaries, you see that a number of the websites are doubting the safety and effectiveness of using fluoride either by tablet or in the drinking water.
In respect to the issue of alcohol consumption faucet water for the fluoride, the specialist on television took place to claim that lots of people are afraid to drink their faucet water as a result of contaminants.
Truly?
Isn’t that why towns go to wonderful pains to test their water? To make that certain the water is totally free from impurities? Isn’t that why there are many guidelines concerning the testing done on local water to make certain that it is secure to consume alcohol? Isn’t that why metropolitan water supply have filters as well as various other devices as well as procedures to make sure the pollutants are eliminated?
All the same, the professional accelerated to ensure everyone that the bottled water business were coming to the rescue and also would soon sell MINERAL WATER WHICH CONTAINS FLUORIDE.
Ah-hah!
Now we concern the real crux of the matter.
It isn’t that dental professionals fear for our teeth and general oral wellness since numerous people consume alcohol unfluoridated bottled water.
It isn’t that community water systems consist of contaminants.
It’s that the bottled water business wish to create a market to sell more bottled water.
So currently I wonder, the length of time did it take the press agent (employed by the bottled water business, obviously) to talk the producers of the early morning news reveal into broadcasting the segment?
It all makes me rather unwell to my stomach.No one respects the health and wellness of our teeth. It’s just that the bottled water business desire to market even more bottled water.
However, it acts as an exceptional suggestion.
When I see or listen to something on television, or check out it in a newspaper or magazine, I must always ask myself– whose agenda is this?
And also as soon as I find out who stands to make money by a certain train of idea or a specific opinion or a specific item of “information”– I am simply that much closer to the truth.
