Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Okay, unlucky guess. What issues are they right on though?
I didn't say any of it was incorrect, but that it was irrelevant. It doesn't matter if its a nuclear byproduct, it doesn't matter if its in Prozac, and it doesn't matter if its mind altering if its at doses not in drinking water. It being a byproduct is a neat fact, but doesn't tell you that its harmful. None of what you've said, even if I grant it to you completely, matters.
I also would need a source for that. Yes, uranium hexafluoride is a compound used in nuclear enrichment, but conflating any compound with fluorine to the ones used in toothpaste is disingenuous. You might as well just say hydrofluoric acid is dangerous.
That said, even if it were a fission byproduct, (it isn't), or a byproduct of fusion (also isn't), there are plenty of completely inert products like ordinary silver.
