Fluoride in your drinking water
Without going into all the emotive aspects of this ill-considered proposal it is a fact that few members of the public know very much about fluoride and scientists disagree about possible health benefits or side effects. Even official government information is conflicting with statements such as “fluoride is a naturally occurring element” (it isn’t, it’s a mineral compound). In some cases fluoride is naturally occurring but the fluoride that will be injected into drinking water most certainly is not.
Apparently, the reason for mass-fluoridation is that the junk many people consume such as fizzy, sugary drinks cause serious tooth decay.
So, fluoridate the junk and don’t use the population as a testing ground for mass-medication. You can see the current concentrations of fluoride in your area on this map.
