It would be more effective to look at the impact in areas that had it then removed it. Israel even did a study on it. The effect of community water fluoridation cessation on children's dental health: a national experience | Israel Journal of Health Policy Research | Full Text
It would be smart to just accept the research and science as it advances. And if the harms outweigh the benefits to act accordingly. Unfortunately medical dogma is hard to overcome. Especially when it becomes political. We treat with fluoride based on the patient. Most patients we try not to use it on. As it kills the good bacteria as well as the bad. It can have a negative impact on the microbiome. I will say I do not think there should be a law banning the use of fluoride. At the same time I don’t think it should be a requirement that water be treated with fluoride. And as science continues to learn about the issue. I would say Europe and most of the world for that matter is on the correct side as of now.
Fluoride lowers IQ. Topical fluoride (mouthwash, dentist) is the way to go. That conveys most of the benefits without harming your kid's brain---per RFK Jr
Many European countries have high naturally occurring high fluoride levels in water that make it unnecessary to add fluoride to their water.
How in the world is Fluoride political? Do only liberal dentists use it? C. Everett Koop was a strong proponent of fluoride in water...was he a leftist?
Same intelligence used for one and the other. And I don't know one Critical Thinking person that wants Fluoride in their drinking water.
