minus-squareRobust Mirror@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down5·edit-21 hour agoWell look at the statistics: Fluoride: Water fluoridation in the United States began in the 1940s By 1949, nearly 1 million Americans were receiving fluoridated tap water In 1951, the number jumped dramatically to 4.85 million people By 1952, the number nearly tripled again to 13.3 million Americans In 1954, the number exceeded 20 million people In 1965 an additional 13.5 million Americans gained access to fluoridated water. By 1969, 43.7% of Americans had access to fluoridated tap water. In 2000, approximately 162 million Americans (65.8% of the population served by public water systems) received optimally fluoridated water 2006: 69.2% of people on public water systems (61.5% of total population) 2012: 74.6% of people on public water systems (67.1% of total population) Autism: First recognised in the 1940s During the 1960s and 1970s, prevalence estimates were approximately 0.5 cases per 1,000 children. Prevalence rates increased to about 1 case per 1,000 children in the 1980s. 2000: 1 in 150 children 2006: 1 in 110 children 2014: 1 in 59 children 2016: 1 in 54 children 2020: 1 in 36 children Seems pretty clear cut to me. /s because people think I posted this in seriousness.

minus-squarereattach@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·3 hours agoActually, software developers cause autism

minus-squareRedex@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-23 hours agoDamn, I guess fluoridated water also then caused computers, world population growth and the eradication of polio. Idk if this is a troll post or this person never heard of the fact that correlation does not equal causation. Case and point.
