Not at all. And again, I never mentioned "brainwashing." The FACT that fluoride is a neurotoxin is still a valid argument. I'm simply stating that there are other reasons in addition to that which do not make sense as to why it is added to drinking water.

And I'm stating that there are reasons for it which do make sense. There is a vast array of evidence which supports water fluoridation helps prevent cavities, much moreso than there is that levels of fluoride currently present in U.S. tap water supplies is having a negative impact on child development.

I concede that in high amounts, yes, Fluoride is probably neurodevelopmentally toxic. But the benefits far outweigh the negatives. The situation is very similar to the whole vaccination scare issue that is also being blown way out of proportion by Alex.

Yes, every once in a while a vaccine mix could be bad or a child could just have a bad reaction to it, but the chances of this happening are virtually nonexistent so it makes sense to keep vaccinating our children, because the positives far outweigh the negatives.
