Such a good article, and then you have to ruin it with conspiracy theory nonsense like:

“Earthquakes are increasing”. No, they’re not. We’re still right on the average.

“Fluoride is a sedative/toxin” Technically, yes, but not in the concentrations being used in the water supplies where it is used.

“Cell phones cause cancer”. No, just no. Study after study has shown no correlation at all. The few studies that showed an increase in tumors have all been found to be poorly constructed, misinterpreted, or outright wrong.

Things like that will cause many to simply file your stuff right up there with infowars and rense, and thus be considered eminently dismissable.

More one the "Such a good article, and then you have to ruin it with conspiracy theory nonsense like:"

The new CFL light bulbs are filled with mercury... and they are incredibly toxic and dangerous if they are broken

Exaggeration is a sure sign of a bad argument. "Filled"? Four milligrams is not "filled." "Incredibly toxic"? Not quite. Nerve gas is incredibly toxic.
