In summary, we observed significant and consistent differences in dental caries experience in the primary dentition between Grade 2 children in Calgary (fluoridation cessation) and Edmonton (still fluoridated), Canada, 7‐8 years following cessation in Calgary.

This is a complete sanewashing article... Roberts read all the dissents, he knew exactly what he was doing. Putting Trump above the law.

My ideal weekend

Waterboard that bitch til it talks

Florida (desantis) recently enacted concealed carry, so I'll be curious to see what law this nut actually broke.
