inant level allowed in drinking water in the US. 4-11x the amount we intentionally put in the water, and in some cases 3-4x the maximum amount at which the EPA tells people to stop drinking the water.

One of the studies that showed the worst IQ rates had 1134x the maximum amount any US utility places in the water.

At those dosages, I’m shocked there might be adverse side effects. Shocked, I tell you. ‘Dosage’. It’s a thing. Who knew?
