How large is this container? Seems huge. Or how small is the fire?🔥

It’s a good question i don’t have personal experience to give you but I hadn’t thought of it as a source and I think it’s a good idea. The whole purpose of county and state fairs was to encourage the breeding of animals that perform well for agricultural purposes, right?

A critique of the analysis would be that a negative association was measured, based on the data. But the data included observations with higher levels of fluoride than what the regulators were allowing or recommended. And so yes while the trend line decreases and yes at high enough doses fluoride does cause negative outcomes of IQ, at recommended and allowed levels the harm is insignificant or unmeasurable. The negative trend line shows a negative only from the weight of these observations with higher amounts.

Image From the article with data points included: Try to ignore the gray shaded lines resulting from mathematical analysis and consider if the data points were cut off after 1.5 mg/L where would the resulting trendline be? Would it be less negative than the current one, would it be a flat horizontal line?

It’s hard to tell I wish scientific journals required the actual data to be released for publishing so I could just through this in and premature under that scenario.

This study does show a negative effect however, which means it’s reasonable to desire the minimum amount that meets the level required for the health benefits they have measured. And it’s true that studies like this one caused US regulators to lower the recommended dose from 1.2 to 0.7 mg/L however even if recommended the allowable amount is still higher. It would be a good question to any water supplier why their fluoride level is higher than 0.7 I checked my local supplier in Ohio averages 0.91.

My daughter is fundraising for Cub scouts if anyone would like to donate to support a scout. Thank you for any support. Link below. If you would prefer to zap just hit this note and I will make a contribution on behalf of the zappers.

It’s AI generated so I would say it means nothing, you are a human trying to understand and seek the meaning, and I think that means everything.

Well yes and no. The simple model might suggest that after 5 generations (1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32) the generation is only 1/32 of the original. 1/32 doesn’t sound like much, But specific dominant traits which are expressed in you today because they are “dominant” would likely persist in them because they are “dominant”. Like brown eyes. Also some genes cluster because they are located closely on the chromosomes and so would inherited traits. And finally the other mathematical element of reproduction is present. Multiplication. With each generation the number of people which are my progeny increases. Assuming each generation is only fertile enough for replacement. I have two kids. Replacing myself and their mother. And they have two kids replacing themselves and their future spouses, etc (2,4,8,16,32) after 5 generations there are 32 people you would look at to determine if they had any of my traits, and I expect you would be able to find individuals in the 32 which would retain a cluster of the original genes especially dominant that are expressed in that generation. They would have my hair color or straightness, or smile etc. or they may “think” like me or something else. Because these traits weren’t really mine anyway, they were my great great grandparents before they were mine. And the fact that they are in us now is fact enough that they have persisted. Over the long term what persists depend on the selective pressures, which brings us back to the original topic. The multiplication and division gives us a lot of diversity in the 5th generation. What is the selective pressure determines what would be fit. In that generation which on the longer term overwhelms all the other math and you are left with what is fit. But if we keep using all the technological advancements that remove the selective pressures what was in the past selected for will be available to a smaller percentage of the population. But it’s exchanged at the cost of less death so 🤷.

😀 well if you had good genes and you use interventions your genes are passed on. If you had good genes and you don’t use interventions your genes are passed on.

If you have bad genes and use interventions your genes are passed on to the detriment of the gene pool. If you had bad genes and didn’t take interventions your genes are not passed on protecting the gene pool. This is obviously an oversimplification. But if you are refusing interventions you only improve the gene pool by being excluded from breeding through death or not being selected by a mate due to your weakness. 🤣 Choosing not to procreate is a trait that is maladaptive for survival of the species and is a characteristic that is constantly being selected against. Thank you for your contribution😅

I know all this rhymes with some gross oppression in history. But that doesn’t mean the underlying facts about a gene pools interaction with selective pressures aren’t true. 🤔☹️

It’s apple fritter season yall.
