Fluoride is a by-product of the aluminum industry.
Cities sign up to fluoridate the water thereby saving the aluminum industry paying to dispose of the fluoride.
Has anyone ever seen ANYwhere how much fluoridated water must be consumed daily in order to ‘protect’ kids’ teeth? According to the age and weight of each child? And how do the parents see to this??!
A kid would have to remain at home in order for the parent to monitor how many fluoridated products their kids consume. If kids are out and about, they may consume other beverages with fluoride, exceeding the fluoride limit.
Have you ever seen the brown mottled teeth of a person living in a fluoridated area? Years ago, I did.
Some (all?) states mandate drinking water must be safe for all. It is not safe for folks on thyroid medication, for one.
Many of us have reverse osmosis to assure better drinking water but not everyone can afford this.
Some dentists do not agree with fluoridating the water. A few years ago mine went in front of the water district somewhere here in Calif. to speak against it, but to no avail. And no, he was not looking for patients - he happened to be a nutritionally oriented dentist, now retired, and saw the disadvantage of fluoridated water.
I’ll touch briefly on the ridiculous places fluoridated water is ‘wasted.’ Watering our lawns (are birds affected by fluoridated water?), flushed down the toilets, washing cars. You can think of more.
If it’s ever TRUly proven that swabbing teeth with fluoride works, then I would rather pay something (taxes?) for disadvantaged kids to visit a dentist for fluoride application.
Leave our drinking water alone!
