Fluorine related (health) problems...

I just came across an article in Dagbladet, about possible negative health effects of some ski waxes. Specifically, after checking the orginal source, it's about perfluorinated carboxylic acids, which some waxes contains and STAMI has found accumulates in the body, and their concern for the working enviroment for professional ski waxers. In itself, it's interesting to see the medias spin on these findings, but I'll leave that for now.


More interesting, the first comment when I check was titled "Er vi utsatt for fluor?" ("Are vi exposed for Fluorine?") by Erik Nissen. For some reason, he manage to link this article to tooth paste, and explains how Pottasium Fluoride (he really means Calcium Fluoride, more on that later) is the good, healthy Fluoride that was intended for dental products and that Sodium Flouride is bad, and explains how the aluminum industry has used tooth paste to get rid of their toxic waste, Sodium Fluoride. First of all, a person would even the most basic chemistry knowledge would understand that if there was a different in health effect between KF and NaF, the most likely culprit is the Sodium, since the Flouride is the same in both.

But wait! Unlike most others, mr. Nissen provides links to highly prestigious journals to back up his claims. More spesifically, the Wise Up Journal. You can't argue with that name, even if you're not a scientist, you just know this is top notch material! And btw, it's in this journal the highly skilled chemist and physican Dr. Nissen translates Calcium into kalium (Pottasium). The article is written by a Johnnie Aysgarth. I couldn't find a single publication on web of science from this guy, but he's in the Wise Up Journal, for crying out loud! Who needs more than that?

I must admit, I'm still surprised with all the little things that people can make conspiracy theories from and, even more important, actually believe. How come it's so hard to believe scientific research, but even the most nut-case theory presented by somebody how has added a couple of random google searches into a theory, that must be the end all truth in the matter at hand? Even if it would take just a couple of minutes to check the most basic facts in those theories and find them completely false? Personally, I blame it on the subconscious messages embedded in the Disney cartoons and the mind controlling nano-bots in the vaccines (Hey, who made me write that?).

Oh, and the Norwegian Institute of public Health is a private owned company, in the hands of the Rockefeller family. But we all knew that.

Remember, just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you...

Bwahhahahaahahahaaaaaaaa....good find, Anders.

Erik Nissen - or to use his full scientific title - Erik Nissen, appears to be quite the scholar. He does have a point which you have seemed to overlook though; if you ingest large quantities of toothpaste, then there is indeed a difference between NaF and KF. While Sodium in general is bad for you in large quantities and can cause elevated blood pressure and a host of other problems, guzzling Potassium can also negatively affect your electrolyte balance.

See? Different yet similar...like Brian May once said; even too much love will kill ya'.

Then again, since Nissen confuses Potassium and Calcium, odds are he was not thinking of this difference, but rather of the many evils perpetrated by the Rockefellers in close collaboration with the Freemasons and Reptilians from Planet Niburu. Feeding us with rat poison fluoride is just one step in the evil plan of world domination.

I respectfully decline the invitation to join in your hallucination.

On the plus side, I now know where to inquire for the latest in tin foil fashion

Anders said...

And he just had to be named Nissen...
:D

Anders said...

And, btw, you're just pissed off because WUJ (Wise Up Journal) haven't accepted any of your publications...

Wilhelm said...

Damn straight I am pissed that WUJ refused my article. I believe that the criticism we received regarding our manuscript "Health risks associated with tin foil hats" was unwarranted.

Anders said...

LOL
Yeah, you found a stong negative correlation between wearing tin foil hats and intelligence. Those hat sure must affect the brain in a negative way...


...and it's always the third reviewer, right? :D

Wilhelm said...

..it's ALWAYS the third goddamn reviewer >:-(

Hopefully we'll have luck with the recently submitted manuscript "Conspiracy theories and their contribution to increased stress levels and adverse effect on social skills and personal hygiene"

I think it's all the snow these people are exposed to, not the ski wax.

Wilhelm said...

...snow-containing toothpaste?

Torbjørn said...

Nah, just snow.
Snow makes you sick, you know.

Anders said...

Methinks it's the wax. They should wear protetive gear when waxing skies. Tin foil hats as a minimum! I've heard that there is nanotechnology involved in the wax, and even nanobots have trouble with a high quality tin foil hat.

Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!

Anders said...

Thank you for the kind feedback, "Anonymous".

Personally, I can't help noting the interesting correlation between raised quality on this blog and the increased level of contribution from, well, me...
:D

Wilhelm said...

I too noticed this "correlation" :-)
