I see earlier in the thread that fluoride is considered a necessity like chlorine. Chlorine is necessary to keep our water clean where as fluroide is an unnecessary additive.

While it may help some with stronger teeth, it is also possible some could have unwanted side effects from it.

From WebMD:

While low doses are not so likely to cause side effects - how do we really know? We are not made the same and it could be that a lower dose could cause problems and weaken bones in one person more than another.

How do we know that the levels are properly regulated? It also worries me that our toothpastes still have fluoride in them and we also get it in the water. Particularly worrying for young children.

And for those of us with osteoporisis, the addition of fluoride to the water is of concern. He is an excerpt from the link below:

[QUOTE="sails, post: 762536, member: 1340"] I see earlier in the thread that fluoride is considered a necessity like chlorine. Chlorine is necessary to keep our water clean where as fluroide is an unnecessary additive. While it may help some with stronger teeth, it is also possible some could have unwanted side effects from it. From WebMD: While low doses are not so likely to cause side effects - how do we really know? We are not made the same and it could be that a lower dose could cause problems and weaken bones in one person more than another. How do we know that the levels are properly regulated? It also worries me that our toothpastes still have fluoride in them and we also get it in the water. Particularly worrying for young children.
