why don't most first world countries floridate their water? no european country does it. It's banned in China. Israel doesn't do it.

Over fluoridation is bad for your bones ( teeth included ) and who knows what its doing to peoples brains.

beyond the potential health benefits to teeth I really do not agree with any kind of forced medication of the public. everything should be done voluntarily and with absolute consent.

Not all public water is fluoridated by the government in the US. The reason being due to naturally occurring fluoridation. China is the same. They just don’t need to add more.

So no, you’re not being overfluoridated in the US.
