I grew up on well water, out in the country.

Tooth decay only became a problem for me in the past few years because of some medication I was on. Thankfully we found something better and I was able to get dental work done to repair the damage.

I do not buy the "necessity" of adding anything to drinking water that does not naturally belong to it.

[ The use of fluoride is endorsed by the American Dental Association, American Medical Association, CDC, California Department of Public Health, American Academy of Pediatrics and the World Health Organization. ]

It’s just too damned bad the Bureau of Arms Tobacco and Firearms doesn’t encourage going out deer hunting while sloshed on beer and smoking a carton of marlboros

Well water child here too, no teeth issues, living near a town that added fluoride, the dentist always said we had great teeth.... they even said they knew when someone was not from the town because no one in their family had flouridosis ( fluoride overdose ) . We used the same water table as the city too....

I think it is a scam mostly for making money off of gullible city governments.

people get hurt when the equipment goes bad and overdoses them on fluoride... Not to mention the drain on the city resources ie. everyone’s taxes.

Fluoride is meant to be TOPICAL, and not ingested.

How so?

I can’t believe this thread went 18 replies without a Stranglove remark.

It's no coincidence the Democrats have decided to go full Jack D. Ripper this past weekend.

Have you sever seen a Russian drink a glass of water?

"Arsenic is a natural mineral too."

But Fluorine is NOT a mineral

It is a gas....and highly corrosive. Hydrofluoric acid is able to eat through glass and is used in etching.

This brings up the number ONE rule for the chemistry lab:

NEVER lick the spoon!

Fluoride in my bod, is bad juju.
Where is the science? At least 50 odd some years old and Archaic.
No fluoride in my house for years... not ONE cavity amongst my three.

Fluoride also lowers testosterone levels. No wonder the liberals want to put it in the water.

Does New York city put extra fluoride in the water to create metro guys?

Interesting. Never knew it wasn’t already in the tap water. San Jose Unified used to have flouride treatment programs in school when I was there for 2 years in the early ‘70’s. Coming from the DC area where it was in the water it was odd to see them doing that. I swallowed some once and it made me nauseous for a day.
