Fluoride is not a mineral and has no place in human nutritional needs whatsoever. Recent studies indicate it plays a larger role in CAUSING  dental problems than fixing them - even local studies show it doesn't work. The question is why are these professionals who should know better promoting this poison as something good for children? There is language printed on children's toothpaste tubes warning those using it never to swallow it - or if they do, to call Poison Control immediately! What they appear to be doing here is promoting it illegally now, possibly in violation of PDC rules, in an effort to influence the upcoming election. Worse, the stuff they want to add back into the drinking water also contains (among other heavy metals) ARSENIC and LEAD, of which there is NO safe level to ingest! Can we all see the problem here? Our Water Our Choice is not against people using fluoride by their choice - we just want all people to understand there is NO shortage of fluoride anywhere now.
