Many argue that pushing flouride on the public is an outright scam and lie. Fluoride is a known toxic substance that damages the body and can compromise one's health. It was being dumped in the water by factories, and the industry helped pull off a con by paying for studies to show that their industrial waste was actually "good" for people. The public fell for it, and here we are today. All these people drinking in and brushing with the so-called miracle of flouride, yet so many cavities (and other health problems).

There are multiple studies showing how flouride in toothpaste and drinking water prevents cavities, and is non toxic. Where is your evidence to the contrary?

  Flouride is toxic, period. The argument that you are likely trying to make, to oppose my statement, is how much of it can a person ingest before having negative health effects and is it really good for your teeth. It might be better to read about its history of usage, and that many countries do not allow flouride in their drinking water, and have a cavity rate that is equal or less than that of the U.S. https://www.primallifeorganics.com/blogs/primal-life-organics-blog/is-fluoride-bad-for-you https://www.primallifeorganics.com/blogs/primal-life-organic...

    Some communities have a naturally-occurring fluoride level higher than the amount that is added in other communities for tooth health. (As described at your link, these places see some cases of fluorosis, but no one dies of cancer.) That is, only very small non-toxic amounts of fluoride are ever added. These amounts have radically improved the oral health of children in those communities. Poor children, who have little access to dentists in red states, would be especially harmed if cranks have their way and fluoridation ceases. Let me guess, you also don't want iodine to be added to salt? https://www.ada.org/resources/community-initiatives/fluoride-in-water https://www.ada.org/resources/community-initiatives/fluoride...
