You realize that many localities in the U.S. have high levels of natural fluoridation in their water supply?

And in studies performed in relation to populations consuming said water, they've found IQ to be lower by a statistically significant value.

In return, they enjoy life without cavities. No other ill effects have been noted for about two centuries.

Bzzt. Wrong. There is NO valid scientific evidence that fluoride prevents cavities. And there IS valid scientific evidence that it DOES cause health problems.

"There is NO valid scientific evidence that fluoride prevents cavities."

Sorry, buddy. I worked with Procter & Gamble in the sixties. On Crest toothpaste, as a matter of fact. And I have first hand experience with the scientific evidence that it does exactly what it says it does.

BZZZT, indeed.
