Levels at twice the limit do bad things? Who would have thought.
i call water fluoridation bullshit, i don't care what anyone says. of all things, why force everyone to consume this toxic chemical, especially when there's no way to know how much an individual is drinking, and also especially since the dose inevitably gets fucked up.

i find it MUCH more likely that fluoride, as a toxic waste industrial by product was just sold to the public as a "miracle" cure for cavities, so that corporations could sell it to the taxpayer, rather than pay to have it disposed of

it's the same shit as the "recycling solution" to plastic waste that was sold to us by....plastics manufacturers. which also turned out to be complete bullshit
edit: since no one's offering a substantial defense of mandatory fluoridation without consent, i'm going to bed. enjoy your drain bamage
I mean, the best public health alternative to water fluoridation would be to impose limits to how much sugar is allowed in foods and force changes in marketing, since sugar consumption is one of the biggest causes of dental problems
i agree with this, and funny enough, i've heard people complain about soda machines being removed from schools because, of course, "they're taking away my kid's FREEDOM to drink cokes all day!!"
