Fluoride in drinking water has no effect on IQ or brain function, a long-term study shows. The new research is the first to measure community water fluoridation exposure during childhood and any potential impact on cognition up to age 80. The results contradict RFK Jr. statements.

VARNEY: We were told coal is the dirtiest fuel & there are more CO2 emissions than from gas. Is that no longer true? BURGUM: It's true, but then the question goes back to reversal of the endangerment finding, which is, is CO2 a pollutant or something that helps plants grow? We know it's the latter

From xkcd.com/radiation/ (h/t @realitybased1.bsky.social)
Radiation Dose Chart from link
This is a chart of the ionizing radiation dose a person can absorb fron various sources. The unit for obsorbed dose is "sievert" (Sy), and measures the effect a dose of radiation will have on the cells of the body. One stevert (all at once) vill make you sick, and too nany more will kill you, but we safely absorb sall amounts of natural radiation daily.
Note: The same number of sieverts absorbed in a shorter time will generally couse more domage, but your cunulative long-term dose plays a big role in things like cancer risk.
