Unless you live in a city with bad water like Flint, MI or any of the other cities where officials have purposefully poisoned the water supply or just never modernized it.

No. Flint was a specific criminal act.

Don’t spread that conspiracy nonsense. It doesn’t belong here.

Fluoride is fine for cleaning your teeth, but not ingesting. Thankfully I don't have city water.

Who died and made you the arbiter of Truth?

I provided sources, you didn't. Engage in a facts based debate or don't engage at all. Shallow dismissals have no place on HN. (by the actual site guidelines, not my made up declaration)

Fluoride in community water sources helps prevent tooth decay.
