Statistics from a study conducted by the New Zealand Ministry of Health suggest that there are no advantages derived from fluoridation. These statistics actually match similar arguments set forth by the American Dental Association.

The latter organization conducted a large study on some 39000 American children and found that they did not derive any advantages from the use of fluoride.

The process of fluoridation is the practice of adding fluoride minerals to a water source so that people can get exposed to the mineral through drinking water. Some bodies of water already have fluoride in them and do not need fluoride added.

The fluoride is allegedly added so that it can help in the prevention of cavity development. The practice of adding fluoride to water is suppose to allow many people, regardless of income, to receive healthy doses of fluoride. Yet, recent studies are revealing that the fluoridation practices do little in terms of cavity prevention, if anything at all.

its funny - you would never know from talking to an american dentist that their association has come to this conclusion. and the fact that pretty much every toothpaste ALSO has fluoride in it makes it overkill easily. you really need to be dogged to find unfluoridated toothpastes.

the county i live in has been fluoridating its water since 1972. i barely touch the tapwater, but if i cooked more it would really be an imposition.

another funny thing is how often this happens. if you live 40 years you will begin to see, as i have, the reversals in medical advice that keep happening. i am convinced that by the time smoking is banned pretty much everywhere it will be discovered to be good for you all over again!

thanks LTT - hope you don't mind me "sharing" this with fb folk!
