Democrats Have Expressed Support For A Single-Payer Healthcare System
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) Has Long Supported A Single-Payer System And Believed That The Affordable Care Act Could Be "A Bridge To European-Style Universal Coverage." "'I supported single-payer since before you were born,' said Pelosi, who has argued since the passage of the Affordable Care Act that it could be a bridge to European-style universal coverage." (David Weigel, "With AHCA Defeat, Some Democrats See Chance To Push For Universal Coverage," The Washington Post , 3/26/17)
Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) Wanted To "Build On" Obamacare With His Medicare For All Health Care Plan. "Sanders denied he'd tear down Obamacare [with his Medicare for all plan], noting that he had a role in drafting it and he voted for it. But he said he wants to build on it, and bring down the cost of health care which is still leaving the newly insured with big expenses." (Gabriel Debenedetti, "Sanders, Clinton Clash Over His New 'Medicare For All' Plan," Politico , 1/17/16)
Sanders Thinks We Should Be Going Forward With A Medicare For All, Single-Payer Program In the Long-Term. SEN. BERNIE SANDERS (I-VT): "I am going to go forward with a Medicare for all, single-payer program, and I think that is the direction long-term, that we should be going." (MSNBC's "Meet The Press," 6/25/17)
Former Democrat Majority Leader Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) Said That Obamacare Is A "Step In The Right Direction" Towards A Single-Payer National Health Care System. "'What we've done with Obamacare is have a step in the right direction, but we're far from having something that's going to work forever,' Reid said. When then asked by panelist Steve Sebelius whether he meant ultimately the country would have to have a health care system that abandoned insurance as the means of accessing it, Reid said: 'Yes, yes. Absolutely, yes.' The idea of introducing a single-payer national health care system to the United States, or even just a public option, sent lawmakers into a tizzy back in 2009, when Reid was negotiating the health care bill."

Senator Bernie Sanders Has Proposed A Single-Payer Plan, With Little Clarity As To How It Would Be Paid For Or How Much It Would Cost
During The 2016 Presidential Campaign, Sanders Released His Single-Payer Health Care Plan. "Bernie Sanders released the details of his 'Medicare for all' single-payer health care plan just two hours before the Democratic debate here on Sunday night, escalating the bitter wrangling over health care with Hillary Clinton." (Gabriel Debenedetti, "Sanders, Clinton Clash Over His New 'Medicare For All' Plan, Politico , 1/17/16)
The Single-Payer Legislation Sanders Presented Does Not Include Taxes To Fund The Bill. "The legislation itself does not include any taxes." (Jordan Weissmann, "Bernie Sanders' Big Single-Payer Proposal Skips Over The Hardest Thing About Single-Payer,"Slate , 9/13/17)
According To Medicareforall.Org, The Reason There Are Only Vague Estimates For The Cost Of Single Payer Is Because Analysts Must Know The Funding Mechanism Before They Can Make A More Specific Estimate. "Why only a rough estimate is available for how much an individual or family would pay in taxes. There are multiple funding proposals. There have been and are many funding proposals with either national-based or state-based single-payer funding proposals. U.S. Congress committees and associated analysis will need to narrow down the proposals to one." ("How Much Tax An Individual And A Family Will Pay For National Single-Payer Health Care, Improved Medicare For All," Medicare For All, Accessed 9/19/17)
Separating The Potential Tax Hikes From The Legislation Itself "Gives The Co-Sponsors A Convenient Out From Endorsing Any Specific Tax Increase That Could Be Used Against Them In A Campaign Ad." "That might give wonks a sense of what the bill's backers are thinking. But it definitely gives the co-sponsors a convenient out from endorsing any specific tax increase that could be used against them in a campaign ad. More importantly, at least if you're a single-payer fan, it means they haven't committed themselves to some of the more controversial trade-offs that would be necessary to make single-payer a reality." (Jordan Weissmann, "Bernie Sanders' Big Single-Payer Proposal Skips Over The Hardest Thing About Single-Payer," Slate , 9/13/17)
Sanders' Plan Only Raises Less Than Half Of The Cost For His Health Care Plan, Leaving $16.6 Trillion Of The Cost To Be Financed Some Other Way. "Analysis by the Tax Policy Center indicates that Sanders's revenue proposals, intended to finance all new health and nonhealth spending, would raise $15.3 trillion in revenue over 2017 to 2026. This amount is approximately $16.6 trillion less than the increased federal cost of his health care plan estimated here." (John Holahan, et al., "The Sanders Single-Payer HealthCare Plan," The Urban Institute , Accessed 9/20/17)
Sanders' Proposed Taxes Are "Too Low To Fully Finance The Plan." "The total $15.3 trillion that would be raised is approximately $16.6 trillion less than the increased federal cost of his health care plan estimated here, suggesting that fully financing the Sanders approach would require additional sources of revenue be identified, that is, the proposed taxes appear to be too low to fully finance the plan." (John Holahan, et al., "The Sanders Single-Payer HealthCare Plan," The Urban Institute , Accessed 9/20/17)
In September 2017, Sanders Along With 16 Democratic Co-Sponsors, Released A Plan To Create A Single-Payer Health Care System. "After weeks of buildup, Sen. Bernie Sanders has finally released his latest plan to create a single-payer health care system in the United States, tugging along 16 Democrats as co-sponsors of the Medicare-for-all legislation, many of whom appeared with him at a buoyant press conference Wednesday afternoon." (Jordan Weissmann, "Bernie Sanders' Big Single-Payer Proposal Skips Over The Hardest Thing About Single-Payer," Slate , 9/13/17)
Sanders' 16 Co-Sponsors Were There For The Unveiling Of The Bill In Front Of "Nearly 300 Attendees And Heavy Coverage From Cable News," A Dramatic Change From When Sanders Introduced The Bill In 2013 With Zero Co-Sponsors. "Sanders released his 'Medicare for all' plan in a large Senate hearing room Wednesday, with nearly 300 attendees and heavy coverage from cable news. The bill has 16 co-sponsors, which is a big turnaround when he introduced a similar bill in 2013 without a single co-sponsor." (Rachel Roubein, "Senator Asks For CBO Score Of Sanders's Single-Payer Bill," The Hill , 9/14/17)
A Number Of "Potential 2020 Candidates" Co-Sponsored The Bill Including Senators Kamala Harris (D-CA), Corey Booker (D-NJ), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), And Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). "Even more telling is the number of potential 2020 contenders who have decided to get on board with the plan. Sens. Kamala Harris, Kirsten Gillibrand, Cory Booker, and Elizabeth Warren each took turns at the podium Wednesday extolling the virtues of socialized health insurance." (Jordan Weissmann, "Bernie Sanders' Big Single-Payer Proposal Skips Over The Hardest Thing About Single-Payer," Slate , 9/13/17)
In An Accompanying White Paper Released With His Single-Payer Legislation, Sanders Proposed A Total Of $16.19 Trillion In Tax Increases. "7.5 percent income-based premium paid by employers Revenue raised: $3.9 trillion over ten years. 4 percent income-based premium paid by households Revenue raised: $3.5 trillion over ten years. Savings from Health Tax Expenditures Revenue raised: $4.2 trillion over ten years. Make the Personal Income Tax More Progressive Revenue raised: $1.8 trillion over ten years. Make the Estate Tax More Progressive Revenue raised: $249 billion over ten years. Establish a Wealth Tax on the Top 0.1 percent Revenue raised: $1.3 trillion over ten years. Close the Gingrich-Edwards Loophole and Create Parity for Wealthy Business Owners Revenue raised: $247 billion over ten years. Impose a one-time tax on currently held offshore profits Revenue raised: $767 billion over ten years. Impose a Fee on Large Financial Institutions Revenue raised: $117 billion over ten years. Repeal Corporate Accounting Gimmicks Revenue raised: $112 billion ten years." ("Options To Finance Medicare For All," Sen. Bernie Sanders , Accessed 9/20/17)
One Suggestion Contained In The White Paper Is A "7.5 Percent Income-Based Premium Paid By Employers" That Would Raise $3.9 Trillion Over A Decade. "7.5 percent income-based premium paid by employers. Revenue raised: $3.9 trillion over ten years." ("Options To Finance Medicare For All," Sen. Bernie Sanders , Accessed 9/20/17)
A Family Making $50,000 A Year Would Pay An Additional $844 Each Year Due To This Tax . "Under this option, a typical family of four earning $50,000, after taking the standard deduction, would pay a 4 percent income-based premium to fund Medicare for All - just $844 a year." ("Options To Finance Medicare For All," Sen. Bernie Sanders , Accessed 9/20/17)
Another Suggestion In The White Paper Is A 4 Percent Tax Increase On Household Income That Would Raise $3.5 Trillion Over A Decade. "4 percent income-based premium paid by households. Revenue raised: $3.5 trillion over ten years." ("Options To Finance Medicare For All," Sen. Bernie Sanders , Accessed 9/20/17)
The White Paper Also Suggested That An Increase Taxes On Income And Capital Gains, Would Raise At Least $1.1 Trillion In Revenue Over 10 Years. "Make the Personal Income Tax More Progressive. Revenue raised: $1.8 trillion over ten years." ("Options To Finance Medicare For All," Sen. Bernie Sanders , Accessed 9/20/17)
Part Of Sanders' Plan Is To Raise The Top Tax Rate From 39 Percent To 52 Percent, With Additional Brackets At 50, 45, And 40 Percent. "Progressive income tax rates. Under this plan the marginal income tax rate would be: 40 percent on income between $250,000 and $500,000. 45 percent on income between $500,000 and $2 million. 50 percent on income between $2 million and $10 million. (In 2014, only 136,000 households, the top 0.1 percent of taxpayers, had income between $2 million and $10 million.) § 52 percent on income above $10 million. (In 2014, only 16,700 households, just 0.02 percent of taxpayers, had income exceeding $10 million)." ("Options To Finance Medicare For All," Sen. Bernie Sanders , Accessed 9/20/17)
Sanders Would Tax Capital Gains At The Same Rate As Ordinary Income. "Taxing capital gains and dividends the same as income from work." ("Options To Finance Medicare For All," Sen. Bernie Sanders , Accessed 9/20/17)
The White Paper Also Proposes To Increase The Death Tax From A Flat Rate Of 40 Percent To As Much As 55 Percent For Certain Estates. "The existing flat 40 percent estate tax rate would be replaced with the following progressive Rates: 45 percent for the value of an estate between $3.5 million and $10 million. 50 percent for the value of an estate between $10 million and $50 million. 55 percent for the value of an estate in excess of $50 million. An additional 10 percent surtax would apply to estate value in excess of $500 million. ($1 billion for married couples)." ("Options To Finance Medicare For All," Sen. Bernie Sanders , Accessed 9/20/17)
This Would Raise $249 Billion In Revenue Over A Decade. "Make the Estate Tax More Progressive. Revenue raised: $249 billion over ten years." ("Options To Finance Medicare For All," Sen. Bernie Sanders , Accessed 9/20/17)
In Addition To Raising Income Taxes, Sanders Also Seeks To Impose A "Wealth Tax." "This option would establish an annual 1 percent federal wealth tax on the net worth of the wealthiest 0.1 percent of U.S. households. The tax would apply to net worth exceeding $21 million for a household. That means a household with $21.5 million would pay 1 percent of $500,000, or $5,000." ("Options To Finance Medicare For All," Sen. Bernie Sanders , Accessed 9/20/17)
This Would Raise $1.3 Trillion In Revenue Over Ten Years. "Establish a Wealth Tax on the Top 0.1 percent. Revenue raised: $1.3 trillion over ten years." ("Options To Finance Medicare For All," Sen. Bernie Sanders , Accessed 9/20/17)
Some Have Argued That This Tax Would Be "Potentially Unconstitutional." "Others Have Argued That Any Wealth Tax Would Be Dauntingly Complicated, And Potentially Unconstitutional. Sanders Has Described It As One Way To Spread The Concentration Of Wealth." (Ruby Cramer, "With Popular Single-Payer Plan, Bernie Sanders Enters New Territory: A Wealth Tax," Buzzfeed , 9/20/17)
Sanders Would Force Owners Of S-Corporations To Pay Themselves A Salary Separate From Their Business Profits So That It Could Be Subjected To Payroll Taxes. "Close the Gingrich-Edwards Loophole and Create Parity for Wealthy Business Owners. Revenue raised: $247 billion over ten years. This option closes the Gingrich-Edwards loophole which allows individuals who own and run an S-Corporation to game the system and avoid paying payroll taxes by claiming some income as business profits." ("Options To Finance Medicare For All," Sen. Bernie Sanders , Accessed 9/20/17)
Even If Every Tax Hike Sanders Proposed Was Implemented, They Would Only Generate $16.9 Trillion In Additional Revenue Over 10 Years. "The legislation itself does not include any taxes. Instead, its authors have written up a complementary white paper titled 'Options to Fund Medicare for All' with a menu of tax hikes that add up to about $16.9 trillion over a decade (which, for what it's worth, might not actually be enough to cover the cost of a single-payer system)." (Jordan Weissmann, "Bernie Sanders' Big Single-Payer Proposal Skips Over The Hardest Thing About Single-Payer," Slate , 9/13/17)
Now, At Least Two Separate Cost Estimates Peg The Cost Of Sanders' Single-Payer Plan To Be At Least $32 Trillion-Financed In Part By A Doubling Of Individual Income Taxes
A Recent Estimate Of Sanders' Single Payer Plan Has Been Estimated To Cost $32.6 Trillion Over The Next 10 Years. "Sen. Bernie Sanders' 'Medicare for all' plan would increase government health care spending by $32.6 trillion over 10 years, according to a study by a university-based libertarian policy center." (Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar, "Study: 'Medicare For All' Projected To Cost $32.6 Trillion," The Associated Press , 7/30/18)
According To The Mercatus Center At George Mason University, The "Leading Current Senate Bill" To Establish A Single-Payer Healthcare System Is Sanders' "Medicare For All Act" (M4A). "The leading current Senate bill to establish single-payer health insurance in the United States is that of Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT). It's called the Medicare for All Act, or M4A." (Charles Blahous, "The Costs Of A National Single-Payer Healthcare System," The Mercatus Center , 7/30/18)
The Mercatus Center Found That Sanders' Current Single-Payer Plan Would Add Approximately $32.6 Trillion To The Federal Budget During The First Ten Years Of Implementation . "M4A would add approximately $32.6 trillion to federal budget commitments during the first 10 years of its implementation (2022-2031)." (Charles Blahous, "The Costs Of A National Single-Payer Healthcare System," The Mercatus Center , 7/30/18)
The Mercatus Study Projected That The Single-Payer Plan Would Equal Nearly 10.7 Percent Of GDP In 2022 And Rise To Nearly 12.7 Percent Of GDP In 2031 With Substantial Increases Thereafter. "This projected increase in federal healthcare commitments would equal approximately 10.7 percent of GDP in 2022. This amount would rise to nearly 12.7 percent of GDP in 2031 and continue to rise thereafter." (Charles Blahous, "The Costs Of A National Single-Payer Healthcare System," The Mercatus Center , 7/30/18)
The Mercatus Study Also Concluded That Doubling The Projected Federal Individual And Corporate Income Taxes Would Be "Insufficient To Finance The Added Federal Costs Of The Plan." "A doubling of all currently projected federal individual and corporate income tax collections would be insufficient to finance the added federal costs of the plan." (Charles Blahous, "The Costs Of A National Single-Payer Healthcare System," The Mercatus Center , 7/30/18)
The Urban Institute's Health Policy Center Estimated Sanders' Health Care Plan Would Cost $32 Trillion Over Ten Years. "In total, federal spending would increase by about $2.5 trillion (257.6 percent) in 2017. Federal expenditures would increase by about $32.0 trillion (232.7 percent) between 2017 and 2026..[.]" (John Holahan, et al., "The Sanders Single-Payer HealthCare Plan," The Urban Institute , Accessed 9/20/17)

The Gulf of Tonkin Incident
The American commitment to the war against Vietnam, which killed over 50,000 U.S. military personnel, and probably over 2 million Vietnamese civilians, was cemented by an incident that appears to involve more fiction than fact.
In the Gulf of Tonkin incident, North Vietnamese torpedo boats supposedly attacked the USS Maddox in the Gulf of Tonkin, off Vietnam, in a pair of assaults on August 2 and 4 of 1964. It was the basis for the Tonkin Gulf Resolution, which committed major American forces to the war in Vietnam. The resolution passed the House of Representatives unanimously, and passed in the Senate with only two dissenting votes.
In retrospect it is clear that the alleged attack was little more than a transparent pretext for war, delivered in a one-two punch. First, media descriptions of the August 2nd attack as an "unprovoked attack" against a U.S. destroyer on "routine patrol" hid the fact that the Maddox was providing support for South Vietnamese military operations against the North. Second, the alleged August 4th attack appears to be a fabrication, official accounts attributing the "error" to confusion.
s u m m a r y
title: Gulf of Tonkin Incident
On August 4, a new DESOTO patrol to North Vietnam coast was launched by Maddox and the C. Turner Joy. The latter got radar signals that they believed to be another attack by the North Vietnamese. For some two hours the ships fired on radar targets and maneuvered vigorously amid electronic and visual reports of torpedoes. It is highly unlikely that any North Vietnamese forces were actually in the area during this gunfight. Captain John J. Herrick even admitted that it was nothing more than an "overeager sonarman" who "was hearing ship's own propeller beat." Also in 1995, General Vo Nguyen Giap, commander-in-chief of North Vietnamese forces at the time, disavowed any involvement with the August 4 incident, though he did confirm the August 2 attack.
National Security Agency Publishes Long-Secret Documents
On December 1, 2005, the National Security Agency released hundreds of pages of previously-classified documents relating to the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident. The collection included a 2001 article by agency historian Robert J. Hanyok, which examines numerous reports indicating that the alleged attack never happened.

title: Vietnam War Intelligence 'Deliberately Skewed,' Secret Study Says
authors: Scott Shane
Vietnam War Intelligence 'Deliberately Skewed,' Secret Study Says
... In his 2001 article, an elaborate piece of detective work, Mr. Hanyok wrote that 90 percent of the intercepts of North Vietnamese communications relevant to the supposed Aug. 4, 1964, attack were omitted from the major agency documents going to policy makers. "The overwhelming body of reports, if used, would have told the story that no attack had happened," he wrote. "So a conscious effort ensued to demonstrate that an attack occurred." Edwin E. Moïse, a historian at Clemson University who wrote a book on the Gulf of Tonkin incident, said the agency did the right thing in making public Mr. Hanyok's damning case. "A lot of people at the agency haven't been happy that communications intelligence was used to support a wrong conclusion," he said.
They began to have serious new medical conditions shortly after using Gardasil so they would go to the doctor. According to Luise Juellund, the vast majority of doctors would tell them the HPV vaccine has no serious side effects and offer psychological problems as an alternative reason for the new symptoms.
Luise should know, her daughter is one of the seriously injured and cannot be left home alone because of daily seizures and hour-long periods of unconsciousness. After disclosing the new symptoms she was experiencing after Gardasil, she was referred for psychological evaluation. Psychiatrists cleared her and she has now been diagnosed with POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) a suspected side effect of HPV vaccines.
According to Peter la Cour, Head of the Center for Functional Disorders in Copenhagen, the practice of refusing girls the opportunity for medical examination and treatment on the grounds that psychological problems can cause similar symptoms is terrible. He states:
The handful of girls I’ve seen has not been mentally ill, but very physically sick and disabled. We simply cannot have sick people rejected under the assumption that they are mentally ill. None of us know anything about why they are so sick. Alleged knowledge of psychological reasons is scandalous character assassination of the young women.
SERIOUS ADVERSE REACTIONS REACH ONE IN 500
Denmark is divided into five healthcare regions. On June 1, the government established a single point of entrance in each one of these regions to accept and examine anyone suspected of having a negative reaction to Gardasil. The response was overwhelming.
The influx of girls seeking care was 60% higher than expected, suggesting the harmful effects was greater than Danish health authorities had foreseen. By June 9th, the waiting list to be evaluated was at least six to nine months long. (See map below.) Two of the five centers did not know how long the girls would have to wait.
Jesper Mehlsen from Synkopecenteret at Frederiksberg Hospital is one of the specialists who takes care of the girls. He stated:
We thought it (the serious adverse event rate) was about one in 10,000 people who had side effects. Now it turns out that there are at least two per 10 000. Suddenly it was doubled.
Unfortunately, the avalanche of girls seeking medical diagnoses and treatment after their HPV vaccinations continued to increase.
Only two days later, on June 11th, Dr. Jesper Mehlsen had to revise his estimate of the number of injured girls stating:
A realistic estimate is that one in 500 girls – or 1,000 of the 500,000 vaccinated experience serious side effects.
Dr. Mehlsen helped to research the HPV vaccine and personally vaccinated 3,000 girls. Now, he operates the regional intake center in Frederiksberg and will be in charge of coordinating work across the country. He noted that as of June 11th, 360 girls had been referred for study.
Dr. Stig Gerdes fears this is only the tip of the iceberg. He stated:
It will not it surprise me if we end up reaching several thousand who have been sick. I even stopped administering Gardasil a few years ago, after vaccinating about 100 patients. More than a handful of them became ill after the vaccine. Several of them very, very seriously and completely devastated.
IS HPV VACCINE SAFETY BASED ON MERE GUESSWORK?
Danish Health Minister, Nick Haekkerup, and the National Board of Health continue to defend the use of the HPV vaccine Gardasil despite the more than 600 young girls suspected of becoming seriously ill from the vaccine. Both still claim the vaccine is safe and the benefits outweigh the risks.
Experts who are working with the injured girls disagree. Coordinator of the Danish Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology’s national guidelines for HPV vaccination, Gynecologist Jeppe Schroll states:
We can simply not say because we do not know. There is so much uncertainty in the studies that were made on the vaccine – so it is a pure guess. It may well be that they (the health authorities) are right, but it could just as well be the opposite.
His opinion is reinforced by Dr. Diane Harper, who helped develop Gardasil for Merck and stated:
There is no data to substantiate that the benefits outweigh the risks. The truth is that we know very little about the side effects of the HPV vaccine.
Dr. Schroll suggests that Merck’s own analysis of possible serious side effects is based on a questionnaire which clinical trial participants completed two weeks after the vaccine was given. In the years since, women are asked whether they have received ’new medical conditions.’
According to Dr. Schroll, this provides a high degree of uncertainty. Some may get sick during the first 14 days, but women who become ill later may not connect it to the vaccine.
Dr. Schroll stated another source of error is that in the last major Danish/Swedish study among a million girls only looked at those with a diagnosis; not necessarily those with a list of symptoms such as debilitating paralysis of the arms and legs, pain, chronic fatigue, sudden daily fainting, daily migraines and dizziness – like the more than 600 Danish girls currently referred for evaluation. http://healthimpactnews.com/2015/gardasil-vaccine-in-denmark-serious-adverse-reactions-now-number-1-in-500-girls/

Recently-published Harvard University meta-analysis funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has concluded that children who live in areas with highly fluoridated water have “significantly lower” IQ scores than those who live in low fluoride areas.
In a 32-page report that can be downloaded free of charge from Environmental Health Perspectives, the researchers said:
A recent report from the U.S. National Research Council (NRC 2006) concluded that adverse effects of high fluoride concentrations in drinking water may be of concern and that additional research is warranted. Fluoride may cause neurotoxicity in laboratory animals, including effects on learning and memory ...
To summarize the available literature, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of published studies on increased fluoride exposure in drinking water and neurodevelopmental delays. We specifically targeted studies carried out in rural China that have not been widely disseminated, thus complementing the studies that have been included in previous reviews and risk assessment reports ...
Findings from our meta-analyses of 27 studies published over 22 years suggest an inverse association between high fluoride exposure and children’s intelligence ... The results suggest that fluoride may be a developmental neurotoxicant that affects brain development at exposures much below those that can cause toxicity in adults ...
Serum-fluoride concentrations associated with high intakes from drinking-water may exceed 1 mg/L, or 50 Smol/L, thus more than 1000-times the levels of some other neurotoxicants that cause neurodevelopmental damage. Supporting the plausibility of our findings, rats exposed to 1 ppm (50 Smol/L) of water-fluoride for one year showed morphological alterations in the brain and increased levels of aluminum in brain tissue compared with controls ...
In conclusion, our results support the possibility of adverse effects of fluoride exposures on children’s neurodevelopment. Future research should formally evaluate dose-response relations based on individual-level measures of exposure over time, including more precise prenatal exposure assessment and more extensive standardized measures of neurobehavioral performance, in addition to improving assessment and control of potential confounders.
Studies Have Repeatedly Linked Fluoride to Reduced IQ and Brain Damage
There are so many scientific studies showing the direct, toxic effects of fluoride on your body, it’s truly remarkable that it’s NOT considered a scientific consensus by now. Despite the evidence against it, fluoride is still added to 70 percent of U.S. public drinkingwater supplies.
It amazes me that the medical (and dental) communities are so stubbornly resistant to connect the dots when it comes to the skyrocketing increase of cognitive decline in adults and behavioral issues in children (ADD, ADHD, depression and learning disabilities of all kinds). In fact, there have been more than 23 human studies and 100 animal studies linking fluoride to brain damage. Fluoride can also increase manganese absorption, compounding problems, since manganese in drinking water has also been linked to lower IQ in children.
Reported effects of fluoride on your brain include:
• Reduction in nicotinic acetylcholine receptors • Damage to your hippocampus • Formation of beta-amyloid plaques (the classic brain abnormality in Alzheimer’s disease) • Reduction in lipid content • Damage to purkinje cells • Exacerbation of lesions induced by iodine deficiency • Impaired antioxidant defense systems • Increased uptake of aluminum • Accumulation of fluoride in your pineal gland https://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-mercola/fluoride_b_2479833.html

A scientific study has reaffirmed that a popular weedkiller manufactured by Syngenta and used on crop fields all across the United States is so damaging to the endocrine system that it can actually turn natural-born males into females.
Published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the paper by researchers from the University of California, Berkeley found that African clawed frogs (Xenopus laevis) exposed to just 2.5 parts per billion (ppb) of atrazine for three years – a level below the 3 ppb allowed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in human drinking water – ended up losing their maleness and becoming chemically castrated.
Of the 40 frogs that were included as part of the experiment, 30 could no longer reproduce after 36 months of exposure to atrazine. Meanwhile, four of the frogs actually turned from male to female, and proceeded to mate with other males and successfully produce viable eggs – even though they were all born as natural males at the beginning of the study.
Only six of the 40 frogs were in any way normal at the conclusion of the study, suggesting an 85 percent damage rate resulting from exposure to atrazine at levels below what the federal government has deemed as “safe” for humans.
