Rutland resident Jack Crowther has been a longtime critic.
“You’re putting a drug, a medicine, in our water to treat tooth decay without the informed consent of the people,” Crowther said.
“Mandrake, have you ever seen a commie drink a glass of water?”
“THEY’RE PUTTING MEDICINE IN THE WATER!”
Also related, a Richmond, VT waterworks employee secretly lowered fluoride levels in the town’s drinking supply for a decade.
EDIT: I should’ve updated this a month ago, but the town voted to keep fluoride.
So you know that fluorosis is something you can get with too much exposure from just environmental sources, and yet you still want everyone to get an uncontrolled dose of it from the tap water. What do you expect people with fluorosis to do, only drink/bathe in distilled water? What do you expect people who need more fluoride do? Start chugging tap water until they get enough?
Isn’t it better to just it in the toothpaste so everyone gets exactly the amount they need.
It makes all of your bones brittle and joints arthritic. if you wann dunk on me just dunk on me, don’t make fun of people suffering from severe illnesses.
Skeletal and dental fluorosis are two very different things. You’re describing what happens when you drink contaminated groundwater, or work in certain industries without proper PPE. Properly treated fluoridated water can cause dental fluorosis, which typically just causes cosmetic blemishes on your teeth.
