I've looked at Doctor's without Borders, The World Health Organization, Center for Disease Control, Dental Association, The Open Door Clinic, and the first pages that come up in google re:fluoride water.
It's a tough problem. No one wants anything added to their water. Probably not even chlorine. It seems partly a clash of different cultures. The public health culture - the greater good for the most people and holistic health (personal responsibility).
As a democratic realizing that the health care crisis might get a Whole
Lot Worse - I am inclined to agree with
the public health people. I haven't googled the stats on how many people (children) get regular dental care now vs. 20 years ago but I suspect the numbers are going down fairly drastically.
I try to use holistic treatments and good sense and care with my own health
so I want to know if added fluoride is good/bad/neutral for me.
If I thought it would help my neighbors but I didn't want it, then I would drink bottled water or buy a filtration system.
I wouldn't even consider it for a nanosecond if I KNEW it was bad for me
OR my neighbors.
And if there is such a thing as scientific information without a bias this is where I would like to find it.
