I avoid fluoride whenever possible and treat my tap water before drinking it.
How is it science to say that we need fluoride in the public water supply for our teeth when we gorge ourselves on sugar and use tap water mostly for everything BUT brushing our teeth? If you want fluoride use toothpaste. This isn’t even the biggest local water issue: Nestle is trying to buy our municipal water supply so they can sell it to us in bottles. It’s one of the only urban water sources in the country that’s filtered by the fibers of a temperate rain forest. Temperate rain forests do a fine job of it. Anything else done to our water is only another excuse for someone to privatize a part of the commons so that we have to play by their rules to access a vital resource.
