Pinellas County began adding fluoride to its water in 2004. Before that, it was the largest water supplier in the eastern United States that did not fluoridate its water. Fluoridation costs the county about $205,000 a year.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls the practice, which dates to the 1940s, one of the greatest public health achievements of the century. Federal and global agencies and medical groups say it is healthy with the right dosage, despite recent red flags.
"Fluoride is safe, efficient and cost-effective," said dentist Christopher Beach of the Pinellas County Health Department.

But critics seized on recent concerns about too much fluoride having side effects on young children and tea party-style fears of forced government medicating. Some speakers Tuesday compared it to Soviet and Nazi practices and warned of cancer, reduced IQ and deteriorating bones.

"Fluoride is a toxic substance," said tea party activist Tony Caso of Palm Harbor. "This is all part of an agenda that's being pushed forth by the so-called globalists in our government and the world government to keep the people stupid so they don't realize what's going on."
He added: "This is the U.S. of A, not the Soviet Socialist Republic."

Flouride; part of the agenda that keeps you stupid. I wonder when the additive Nazi's are gonna get all crazy about iodized salt. After all, iodized salt is fairly new. Maybe we can have bad teeth AND goiter.
And they say Public Education doesn't work.... or is it Home Schooling ?

France, Germany and Japan are among the countries that don't add fluoride to the water. I do not recall hering about massive tooth decay and tooth loss within their populations. As a matter of fact, Germany is very progressive in regards to medicine and if they feel that flouride is detrimental or unnecessary, I would tend to believe it. Personally, I never ingest the stuff.

My family and I stopped drinking fluoridated water 5 years ago (because of nasty tasting and smelling tap water) and our teeth are just fine. We don't even use fluoride toothpaste. Fluoride is probably overrated. Flossing seems to make more of a difference.

There is 50 years of scientific research that says adding flouride is safe for human consumption and has many benefits for oral health. If you conspiracy theorists believe that it is unsafe, then back that assertion with scientific data. And don't try linking to some study by some crackpot "scientist". It needs to be a rigorous study that is peer reviewed and published in a reputable medical or scientific journal.

Water is also toxic if you swallow a lake. Ban all water, please.

OR-- these individuals can
a. take their chances with cholera or
b. take matters into their own hands and purchase a $5,000 water filtration system.
c. sit down and st*u.

I'm a big fan of choice.
