Chemical & Engineering News September 17, 1990 Fluoride bioassay study under scrutiny by Bette Hileman A recent animal study by the National Toxicology Program that failed to give fluoride a totally clean bill of health is now being questioned as being maybe too lenient on the widely used tooth decay preventative. Also, a government panel appointed to assess the risks and benefits of human exposure to fluoride and to put the NTP study into broader perspecti

A preview feature for articles you are about to post would be handy. Would help cut down on mistakes and then having to edit after the fact. Is the track watch list working? Doesn't do anyting for me.

"If you're not grown up enough to be able to take care of yourself, you're not grown up enough to have children." Which is why I would support a law that required birth control at least until the age of 18 (21 would be better).

"That way, if I find myself wandering off, I refer to the list. Should I have to do this?" Yes. Pretty much everyone who has to do a variety of things during the day, day after day, needs some sort of orginizational tool, eg. notes, day planner, pocket pc etc. Most people who think that they don't need such a tool are the same people who are often late getting things done or often forget to do them at all. Another extremely useful tool is meditation. Many people say "I don't h

Yeah, breaking promises is very bad for a relationship. However, if this "promise" involves overcoming a personal fault I think you should cut him some slack if he is making an honest attempt to improve.

People really need to get over the election thing and start doing what they can to get him out of office. Talk about how he is cutting veteran benefits and combat pay in a time of war. Talk about how our tax dollars are being mismanaged in the rebuilding of Iraq. Or hell, just make fun of him, he is an easy target for that.

Draginol, I asked for your sources so I could make an informed reply to your post. You gave me a flippant response about using a search engine. So I used the search engine and specifically picked polls that contradicted your posistion. My point? If I dont' know your sources, how do I know you aren't "cherry picking" to get the results you want? Why is that hard for you to understand? *WARNING* Gross Draginol-like genralization coming up! Why is it that republicans always get in

"Once again, a large percentage (this one I don't know the polling data off hand but I know it's a pretty large chunk) of the population feels this way." Could you post the polling data for the other issues? And more importantly, the specific questions that were asked?

"If you read Washington’s statement it is evident that he wanted religion to shape the moral character of those in charge of the courts, and actually the nation as a whole." Anthony, so are we only to concern ourselves with what Washington wished, and just forget about the views of all the other founding fathers? Or, just forget about those whose views run contrary to yours?

"Do you have a preschooler? " He is in 2nd grade now. Sorry if my post came off as being critical, I was just trying to support the idea of spending time with your spouse. My wife only works part-time and I rarely work over 45hrs a week, in addition our son is an introvert who has always been happy playing quietly by himself (like his parents).

"If you're married, I strongly suggest you find time to go out once a week with your spouse on a date." Or better yet, don't go out. Sit and talk or spend time quietly doing something together that you both enjoy. And better still, do it every day instead of once a week.
