About a third of respondents reported that water fluoridation should be banned, sale of raw milk should be liberalized, and that the government should issue new guidelines against the use of acetaminophen during pregnancy. Logistic regression analysis showed that people with lower confidence in scientists and self-identified Republicans were more likely to hold beliefs and policy positions that diverged from general
