Yes yes very good; You and your colleague have still not addressed why my post is Internet b#llocks.
It is common knowledge that there are toxins in our foods.
It is common knowledge that chlorine and flouride are poisonous.
It is common knowledge that chlorine and flouride are added to our tap water.
So I have not made an extraordinary claim and do not need to prove what I have said as it is common knowledge. Are you saying that isn't true ?
Are you and your colleague going to come back with a constructive argument or are you going to come back with more Internet b#llocks ?
Colleague? I can assure you, this website has no paid staff. Also we are primarily a tech site. Threads like these are tolerated at best, and are often closed or deleted as they end up running counter to our rules:
Digital World Rules: (specifically rule 9, occasionally rule 10)
Back to your points...
Your extraordinary claim stems from your first post in this thread. Specifically, your implication that toxins in food, and fluoride and chlorine in the water supply is directly attributable to increases in cancer rates.
There are several reasons why cancer rates have gone up. One of the biggest is the earlier detection rate; and this inevitably includes people that would not have died from their cancer diagnosis.
Yes, there are toxins in food. For example; apples, plums and cherries all
naturally contain cyanide. It's also common knowledge that anything taken in excess can be toxic; and that some people are more susceptible at low doses than others.
For what it's worth, the chlorine is for antibacterial purposes and is removed. You have not provided any proof that the chemicals you've mentioned, at the levels found in our food and water are harmful to public health.
I'm all for people being aware of what is in the stuff they shove down their gullet, but scaremongering is not best way.
