Somewhere along the way, you might notice that health food stores abound in flouride-free toothpastes.  Ever wonder why people are going to the trouble of avoiding flouride, while the government is deliberately adding it to the public water supply?  Hmm…

A little skeptical research yields some concerning information.  There is such a thing as flouride poisoning.  Flouride is a hazardous chemical waste product which big manufacturers must properly dispose.  Proper disposal includes shipping the chemical to water treatment facilities.  Most European countries do not flouridate their drinking water or their toothpaste.  Many studies show that flouride does NOT prevent cavities. 

I admit that I’m more likely to trust nature than big business, but I’m not the only one who says “no” to flouride treatment at the dentist.  We also use flouride-free toothpaste (Tom’s of Maine makes several) and drink unflouridated well water. 

Want to know how flouride found it’s way to the American water supply and why Europeans aren’t following suit?  Watch this interview with the author of The Flouride Deception.
