Some anti- fluroide posters in this thread say they don't want faceless Govt's decding whether they have fluroidation in their water supply. In Australia, at present, it is the local councils that decide... the majority of citizens are OK with that process.

The tooth hurts: dental expert is eager to expose the cavities in fluoride conspiracy theories 

''Fluoridation costs less than $1 per person - and in a big city like Sydney, it is less than 50¢ - a year,'' he says.

Because they're sold on the benefits of flouride without realising it doesn't have to be in the drinking water to be effective. That in fact swallowing flouride can have harmful side-effects.

Yes. Your point?

Costing is not the issue. Health is the issue, not teeth but health

Read how many believe fluoride in our water is to blame for many things. Pure water is all we need 🙂

Icy, the man in the article is

Professor Wendell Evans

Don't you think it is just possible that he might know a lot more about the properties, benefits and possible dangers of fluoride  than you do.

Absolutely! I'm sure he does, She-el.

And of course he is right in lauding the benefits of flouride to prevent tooth decay. No contest. That's a proven fact.

As long as it's applied to the teeth and not swallowed. 

"Fluoridation advocates have long claimed that the safety of fluoridation is beyond scientific debate.

However, according to the well-known toxicologist, Dr. John Doull, who chaired the National Academy of Science’s review on fluoride, the safety of fluoridation remains “unsettled” and “we have much less information than we should, considering how long it has been going on.”

In 2006, Doull’s committee at the NAS published an exhaustive 500-page review of fluoride’s toxicity. The report concludes that fluoride is an “endocrine disruptor” and can affect many things in the body, including the bones, the brain, the thyroid gland, the pineal gland, and even blood sugar levels.

In extreme doses it can kill.

Governments have no business putting known toxins in a population's drinking water

gotta go.

Try factoring in the cost of the health problems caused by flouride in the drinking water.

gotta go be back later.
