Todd Whitcomb's Relativity article fluoride can help improve dental health
He states that scientists say that it is safe. Scientists have said that many things were safe, only to be proven very wrong years later, but that is not the point.
Once that fluoride was shown to promote dental health, commercial interests rushed to provide it in toothpaste, mouthwash and dental offices.
If an individual chooses not to use any of these, I don't think fluoride in the drinking water will help their dental health much.
The city is charged with the duty to provide safe drinking water to its citizens. They do this by adding chlorine, which is a cheap and effective way to kill harmful bacteria. Fluoride does not improve the safety.
Many bottled waters show no fluoride content. We'll put it in for nothing but It will cost you to get it out. What do you think? Let the city provide safe drinking water and let the health-care professionals provide dental health.
Should any medication be in our drinking water?
