Florida becomes 2nd state to ban fluoride from public drinking water
Florida became the second state in the country after Utah to ban local governments from adding fluoride to their public water systems.
You're viewing a single thread.
As long as I continue to brush with floride toothpaste, this shouldn't matter. Right?
Well, I'll say that most highly thought of European counties don't do it so, yeah, use fluoride toothpaste and you're gucci.
Most European countries including Italy, France, Finland, Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, Scotland, Austria, Poland, Hungary and Switzerland do not fluoridate water.

Oh, despite us Finns not fluoridating water, there's quite a lot of it in well water.
Finland
Kuopio is the only community in Finland with at least 70,000 people that has ever had water fluoridated.[56] Kuopio stopped fluoridation in 1992.[86] In regions with rapakivi bedrock (small, but densely populated regions), 22% of well waters and 55% of drilled well waters exceed the legal limit of 1.5 mg/L; generally, surface and well waters have 0.5-2.0 mg/L fluoride in affected regions.
"we don't flouridate our water"
"Our water naturally has flouride"
Some of it.
So?
Most don't have any.
So it makes your point unclear. Are you saying that they have good teeth even with no flouride in the water and not using flouride toothpaste?
Yes.
There is no need to add fluoride to drinking water, even when fluoride is good for cavities.
It's not my problem if you want to have dirty teeth.
Wash your fucking teeth man
Oh, I see. I think I get the misunderstanding.
Poor people in this country have no money and no support. There's no free toothpaste fairy floating around giving out supplies. In some parts of the country there isn't even sewer lines.
But I understand, it's easy to mistake us for a first world country because you only see our media. We're not. We're a third world country with first world coasts.
Wash your fucking teeth man
You're privileged. Learn some creativity and empathy, or stop wasting the world's oxygen.
Do you think toothpaste from supermarkets is literally free in Finland? Boy, just how fucking dumb are you?
Looks like someone is mad and pretending to be a big boy.
Are you talking about the US?
In all aspects, you are a developing country. And I didn't even bring that up, you did.

I had heard people in Finland had anger management issues.
But that's my point. Many in the US simply can't afford it. Most in Finland can. So simply saying "brush your teeth", as if it's a personal failing, is just wrong.
I had heard people in Finland had anger management issues.
No you haven't, Finnish people don't have emotions, let alone emotional regulation, which would be required for an anger management issue.
But I understand that that particular argument might go over your head, seeing only 4/5 of you even read and half only make it to a sixth grade reading level.

I've heard lots of American live on the street despite working full-time?
What are you doing about your hostile government takeover?
For the past 20 years I've been listening to barely literate bozos tell me how they need their guns, in case of a government takeover.
You're having one. Yet no-one has any balls to so anything about it.
Yeah, the amount of fluoride you need is miniscule. There hasn't really been much of a need for fluoridated water since fluoridated toothpastes became common in the 1960s.
There's nothing wrong with fluoridated water, and anyone with teeth certainly needs fluoride. But toothpaste and mouthwash are more than sufficient sources.
