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.

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.

I didn’t say you can get it from tap water. But if you do get it from other sources it sucks that now you have to also avoid all tap water.

Also There are places with naturally high fluoride concentration in the water with skeletal fluorosis as a major issue. Guess what happened when burger brains convinced them to fluoridate the water even more? It became a bigger issue.

Just put it in toothpaste.

I’m really not getting your point. Water treatment would address this. And if you don’t have proper water treatment, you don’t have fluoridated water, right?

Are you saying there are places that are incorrectly treating their water? If so, I agree, that should be fixed.
