If it does, apparently it doesn't do very much ... or maybe that is why Americans are slipping behind these other countries in education? The benefits of fluoridated water (reduction in tooth decay and the very serious problems that that causes) far outweigh the costs (it makes some people nervous because *if get too much* *you might die!!*). I haven't done more than thirty minutes research into this though so something might be eluding me. I don't know how much is retained in the body. Experimental evidence seems to suggest that we're doing fine, though. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
