Many of our members are vegetarian - but grass-grown meat has an important place in the diet - it's an important & nutritious 'fast food'. Perhaps the evidence on ruminant livestock as a driver of climate change is not as compelling as MSM makes out. https://lnkd.in/gUYDjJg7

October 4. Cochrane Review of Water Fluoridation. ¼ of a tooth in low certainty studies. Water fluoridation initiation (21 studies): Based on contemporary evidence (after 1975), low certainty. This equates to a difference in dmft of approximately one‐quarter of a tooth in favour of CWF; this effect estimate includes the possibility of benefit and no benefit. Water fluoridation cessation (1 study): Because of very low‐certainty evidence, we could not determine if the cessation of CWF affected DMFS. Association of water fluoridation with dental fluorosis (135 studies): The previous version of this review found low‐certainty evidence that fluoridated water may be associated with dental fluorosis. With a fluoride level of 0.7 parts per million (ppm), approximately 12% of participants had fluorosis of aesthetic concern (95% CI 8% to 17%; 40 studies, 59,630 participants), and approximately 40% had fluorosis of any level (95% CI 35% to 44%; 90 studies, 180,530 participants). Because of very low‐certainty evidence, we were unsure of other adverse effects (including skeletal fluorosis, bone fractures and skeletal maturity; 5 studies, incomplete participant numbers). https://lnkd.in/gH9ujryz
