Problem I have with fluoride is that it's actually medicating the populace, and it's not does controlled.
My children drink over 2L per day of water, meaning that their "dose" will be 4-5 times that of their peers...and as the study above shows, people with specific issues will have different uptakes.
What other "medicine" is dispersed wholesale, with no regulated doseage, to everyone ?
CDC and ADA have recommended halving the level from 1.4 to 0.7ppm to minimise potential tooth damage from fluoride, and have recommended that bottle fed babies not be fed exclusively from fluoridated sources...doesn't exactly sound harmless.
To those in favour of fluoridation, hy not statins or ritalin in the water ?
BTW, statins are to become available over the counter to those who have been prescribed them previously, and the doctors are having a whine that each individual should be assessed case by case, not en masse....
