Fluoridation is not universal. Our water company has never added it, though I don't know why other than the expense. We get the fluoride tabs, which are very inexpensive even without insurance, cheaper than our deductible. Between that and toothpaste and check-ups, our family cavity rate is very low. Of course, we happen to have dental insurance making routine visits affordable.

and yet the majority of European Nations ( you know, the ones with the fantastic concerns for their citizens by providing them with the right of decent health and health care) never allowed for the citizenry's individual right to choice for flourided water to be compromised or rethought that compromised right and have removed the flouridation process.
You have the right to choose toothpaste with flouride added or not at the grocery store. that same right should be extended /allowed to you at the tap.

They are simply trying to protect their precious bodily fluids.

My parents had me take flouride tablets. Myself and my siblings did not experience any cavities until we were well into our twenties. I think I've had three cavities thus far. Twice a dentist thought my teeth had been bonded because of the high quality of the surface enamel.

And how did you exclude other factors affecting your "clinical trial"?

Why is this thread on the political side of the forum?
Fluoridation of water is controversial. In fact, some countries actually remove excessive naturally occurring fluoride in the water remediation process. However, for the sake of argument, lets assume that fluoridation is 100% safe. Fluoride "reduces the risk of getting cavities. It's highly available to everyone who drinks that water," Hewlett says. "It benefits everyone." This is false. Fluoridation of water only benefits children whose adult teeth are forming. When someone whose adult teeth are completely in drinks fluoridated water, it does as much good as someone who takes large doses of vitamin C. Absolutely nothing - since your body simply eliminates it. This means that fluoridating water is really very expensive.

Many believed it so, just as their descendants believe almost anything the far right offers them. John Birchers were once considered so far off the compass as to be a joke (they accused Eisenhower of being Communist), today their progeny rule Republican policy, such as it is. Pure and undeniable evidence of the failure of our educational system. I blame Pops. I didn't know that, but it looks like that is the origin of the whole thing. However, a quick google: http://www.google.com/search?aq=f&gcx=c&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=fluoride+industrial+waste shows that both left and right fringes (and a lot in between) seem to have picked up on it. Unfortunately, a lot of these people seem to have pretty decent educations/knowledge. I guess when you educate a crazy person, you get an educated crazy person. kj. |
