Recently, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. affirmed his plans to advise water systems in the United States to remove fluoride from public water. As an individual expected to influence public health policy during the next administration, his comments created substantial controversy around the risks and benefits of fluoride in drinking water.

The story of fluoride begins in 1901 when a dentist noticed that his patients from Colorado Springs, Colo., frequently had brown stains on their teeth but were also less likely to suffer tooth decay — findings he and colleagues later understood to be due to high levels of fluoride naturally entering the water from rocks and soil.

I think flouride in toothpaste and flouride treatments at the dentist office are fine. Using tax dollars to add it to the water is probably a form of graft.

Yes, we should. We spend all this morning putting the bloody stuff into the water supply and then all this money buying Berkeys and PURs and Britas to remove it.
