I was a young adult in the 50’s and 60’s, and never did see the accusation that ‘The Unholy Three’ was being treated as a communist threat.
But fluoridating the drinking water supply was exposed not that long ago for being dangerous. People experiencing mottled and brown teeth. America has many fluoride sources, unfortunately, and we’re (not us) ingesting fluoride from a variety of them.
My question has always been “How many ounces of fluoridated water must a child of a certain age and weight, drink daily to thwart cavities???” And how do the parents see to this???!! That should end the debate right there!
I have never seen a recommended amount - have you???!
If one feels compelled to want fluoride for tooth protection, go have it directly applied.
Don’t force the rest of us to drink it from the public water supply. And wash cars, water lawns, subject birds to drinking from fluoridated water puddles, etc.!
A needless expense.
My dentist says the pro fluoridating-of-water- cavity studies were flawed. And he appeared before his city council with this information some years ago - before I was his patient.
I live in a different community, so was unaware of the city 25 miles away and its decision.
I believe they may have fluoridated anyway.
The suppliers of the source of fluoride (by-product of the aluminum industry) must be laughing their heads off every time they ‘sell’ a community.
(Excuse if I don’t use the correct form of ‘fluoride’).
As for polio currently, it is said the source of any polio these latter years is from the vaccine. Hate it when I see the local service club off again to some country distributing this vaccine.
People in Florida have really bad teeth compared to people from Illinois and Missouri where flouride is abundant and also used in the water supply. Just an observation. Of course, it could also have to do with all the druggies in FL whose habits corrode their teeth and make them dumber than rocks in a box.
