Our city banned fluoride decades ago. Thankfully, our pediatrician is so insistent on it that she treats all children as part of their pediatric visits.

But banning it from consumer products? Surely they can't be serious. Why not just target all vitamin and mineral products then? Single out fluoride is evidence that these activists are not very serious or intelligent.

Gotta keep them grift plates spinning somehow. Ignorant scare-mongering leads to "concerned families", which leads to more money to those orgs that prey on the ignorant.
