Thread Name: flouride in mains water
Subject: RE: flouride in mains water
Well broccoli helps prevent cancer, fluoride helps prevent cavities. Just put two and two together Greg. We get one in our water supply but not the other, so the Government doesn't care if you die of cancer as long as you have good teeth.

Anyway, the issue is, that because something is good for you it is OK to add it to your water supply.

Well broccoli is good for you. I mean, never in human history has a mother said to her child, "Eat your fluoride or you don't get any dessert".

So why aren't the fluoride advocates demanding that broccoli be added to their water supply? Surely, the principle is the same.
