That's what is so bizarre about the fluoride issue - a 15% reduction in
tooth decay? It makes no sense to add fluoride to water for such a small
alleged benefit. My understanding is that even the proponents of fluoride
admit it is only helpful to those under age 12. Why subject an entire
population to possible toxicity for a 15% benefit for only a fraction of the
population?
I guess we must follow the money, as always. It would be less expensive to
give free fluoride pills to youngsters than to inundate water supplies. If
governments care so much about our dental health, why don't they spend the
millions/billions and give us free or reduced dental care?
In this case, it seems the conspiracy angle - to poison us by reducing our
intellectual capacities - as well as giving profits to companies who
otherwise would have to pay big bucks to dispose of this highly toxic
by-product - is the only angle where the conclusion fits all the odds and
ends.
