Like most drugs, fluoride causes what it purports to cure - cavities. Dentists ignore science that shows Americans are fluoride-overdosed and prescribe more and more fluoride either directly or through the water supply.
After over 60 years of water fluoridation, tooth decay rates are increasing in our most fluoridated population - todders - indicating fluoridation is either a failure or causing tooth decay.
Dentists tell us that drinking “optimal” levels of fluoridated water - 1 part per million or 1 milligram fluoride per liter (quart) - each day, reduces tooth decay without serious side effects. But this dental dogma has never been proven scientifically.
