Like all drugs, fluoride has side effects. The water supply should never be used as a drug delivery system prescribed by legislators or water engineers and dosed based on thirst and not age, health, weight or need. Fluoridation began in 1945 when smoking was prescribed by doctors and advertised by dentists and DDT was widely used. They are all mistakes. Early researchers thought ingesting fluoride was the magic bullet to prevent tooth decay similar to newly discovered science linking vit and mineral deficiencies to diseases. But they were wrong. Consuming a fluoride free diet does not cause tooth decay. And ingesting fluoride only leads to tooth and bone damage. The CDC says fluoride hardens outer enamel by topical means alone.
