The Fluoridation Debate

[Rob Del Monte]

In some places, fluorosilicic acid is added to the mains water supply (and other things). Many say different things about it, and say things, including that fluoride can:

• • Mix with plaque to prevent its damaging effect to teeth*;
  • Help prevent tooth decay*;
  • Cause dental fluorosis†;
  • Cause bone cancer†;
  • Cause osteoporosis†.

BUT . . . WHAT DO YOU THINK - Should this chemical be pumped into our water supply? Debate . . ..

The use of interrobangs is not permitted on this site, because:

A) They don't appear on everyone's computer and show up as a meaningless square

B) I don't like them

C) I've said as much already.

That is all.

OK, I'll say it:

I've had it up to here with Rob Del Monte's fucking formatting, and he's clearly doing it deliberately, too. Please Gavin, could you tell Rob to write in a standard way - it's extremely unpleasant to read his posts with pointless italicising, careless spacing, nonsensical indents and weird footnote markings throughout.

- it's extremely unpleasant to read his posts...

There's a simple solution to that problem. I've done it and found it 100% effective.

but what do you think of fluoridation?
