In general, if someone wants to feed me a low dose poison, I'd want to see some bullet-proof safety and efficacy data. In this case, if the cavity rates between cities with and without fluoride are similar as the article states, I would pass. The US just lowered the recommended fluoride level. My own view is that this is a good thing, but I think everyone should do some research for themselves and not just accept that the government always makes the right choice. There are many serious scientists who question the fluoride risk/reward equation.
