I know a few people with dental fluorosis (one severe), but I don't personally know anyone that has died from fluoride. I don't really see how that matters...I also don't personally know anyone that has died from AIDs, cancer, heart attack, stroke...etc. etc. etc. Plus I'm not trying to claim that fluoridated water is deadly or kills. But it could definitely lead to major problems later in life that would cut your life expectancy short. So maybe it just, helps us die faster. It's like pesticides really. I suppose you are in favor of those too? Are you a smoker? Maybe you enjoy things that are harmful to the body...I suppose some twisted masochistic nerdy sciencey types might be into that. (not saying you are)
I would be curious to ask a doctor how many cases of fluoride related ailments they see in a year. If fluoride levels at the concentrations we use caused major problems, wouldn't doctors be seeing it in their patients? I mean we've been using the stuff for over 50 years... Also I don't smoke and my town doesn't allow pesticides (never come here in May).

Here, let me repeat one of the main points in this argument. Why the hell are we ingesting fluoride in the first place when it has been repeatedly shown that it doesn't have considerable improvements on dental caries?
I beg to differ, plenty of sources including mine show important improvements of dental health with fluoride use. Although I agree that these improvements are less obvious in recent decades as we are exposed to more sources of fluoride.

I'm still waiting for an explanation as to why the government is prescribing mass-medication without public consent.
If you decide to overlook the negative effects of fluoride, it is still a serious ethical issue.
I don't suppose you want your government to treat your water as well? Do you know what horrible chemicals they use for that (chlorine)? How dare they prevent you from getting E. coli without your consent.
