9 out of 10 is not that bad but ingested fluoride has little or no benefit says the last 30 years of research. See fluorideaction.net and read 20 studies that show only has benefit as topical application. Drinking fluoride is not topical and no current studies can show evidence it does. It is just a hard to kill myth as dentists are hard to retrain. The above website has many research experts on one click videos to provide the science.
The FDA has never approved a single ingested fluoride product. They have found no proof as a nutrient or probable nutrient. The product used comes direct from smokestack scrubbers to collect toxic waste from harming the environment. It contains lots of radioactive decay products as it comes from phosphate/uranium mines and has over 20 deadly contaminates. It can only be dumped into water systems and then 99% goes directly into the environment down the drain. What a country. Putting fluoride in the water doubles or triples the dental fluorosis damage and your friendly dentist charges big bucks if you want the ugly teeth covered. Poor kids often get no dental care but they do get fluoride to damage them more. The CDC admits blacks are damaged more often and with double the really ugly damage.Too hard to believe, just check out the web sites. Ask your dentist a hard question and see if they fail the reality test also.
