    I’m not suggesting that you care about down votes, but you seem to think the down votes imply people are angry or have “lost their minds” whatever that means.

        … but I found a blog post saying the earth is flat, and it had very thorough citations.

        Bold claims require irrefutable evidence.

        The weight of evidence in support of fluoridation is overwhelming. It’s the greatest public health intervention in the history of human kind.

        If you want to say it makes people docile then you need large double blinded peer reviewed longitudinal studies supporting that claim. If you don’t have that then you’re going to get downvotes because you’re just parroting nonsense.
