now a moderate amount is hardly anything .... oh yeah, and an excessive amount is now hardly a moderate amount too

well, moderate is an indication

not a set value

I drank chlorine before. I think everyone who has been to a public pool has.

its a set value depending on what it is and what its being used for and how, etc ... all sorts of factors

ya, not pure chlorine though

highly diluted, of course

Sure.

yeah, how about a moderate amount of rat poison like fluoride either is good for you too, riiiight

it is actually

LOL dude, you are just trolling in this <#463068752725016579> thread

Moderate amount of radiation too you know?

A moderate amount of poisons CAN be good for you. Medicines are essentially poisons. A poison is just something that interacts with the body to throw it out of balance so to speak. But when the body is already out of balance that poison can swing things back towards the middle

NOBODY says the fluoride in "moderate" amounts is good for you ... not even the dental associations, etc

But yeah I'm skeptical of fluoride being a good thing to add to the water just for the purpose of dental hygiene

they all say a SMALL amount is "safe" or at least is less unsafe than more amounts of it of course

http://www.dictionary.com/browse/moderate

a SMALL amount being "safe enough" (apparently) does not mean "moderate is good for you!"

and?

"kept or keeping within reasonable or proper limits"

if small is the reasonable amount

small is the moderate amount

I did not troll

You saying i am doesn't make it so either

i was talking "safe" ... but you were saying "good" ... theres a huge difference between the two... being "within safe amount" is less than the threshold of danger and damage... does not necessarily mean more of it is good for you like you know how like some things are GOOD things are good for you to eat more of ... its a directional issue ... more of/ less of ... compared to base amount .... good/bad .... safety/risk

i noticed that you like to slip from playing devil's advocate to borderline trolling

I said everything in moderate amounts, don't put words in my mouth now, thats rude 😦

you said that everything in moderate amounts is GOOD

yes

me: butter is good for you tho
in moderation 😋

everything is

because i follow the dictionary definition of moderate, which means "reasonable or proper limits"

And if a small amount is reasonable

Small is moderate

did you not follow what i was talking about "good" vs "safe" ??

last i checked, safe is a good

If you go beyond safe levels, it tends to be bad

youre just playing word games

am i wrong though?

safe is BETTER relatively to less safe... not necessarily good if there is still an unecessary or irrational risk takign place

then we just vary on our definitions of what constitutes safe in terms of substance

"Fluoride toxicity is a condition in which there are elevated levels of the fluoride ion in the body. Although fluoride is safe for dental health at low concentrations, sustained consumption of large amounts of soluble fluoride salts is dangerous." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoride_toxicity

and i would argue that isn't a moderate amount anymore, when you exeed safety levels

looooooooooow concentrations .... not "good for you in moderate concentrations"
