Mmmm forced medication
Fluoridation is far from the only additive we put in things that lead to better health outcomes in the general population. Iodised salt and folic acid in bread are two that come to mind, but there are others.
Sure but what about the people that can't tolerate it? Do they just have to live a shit life? I have mast cell activation syndrome and it's triggered by folic acid and fluoride, amongst other things like fragrances and chilli.
That being said, using non fluoridated toothpaste and reverse osmosis water all my life, still no cavities
Should we really base public policy on the 0.01% of the public that can't tolerate something or another?
