@ProPublica

"that described an association between higher levels of fluoride exposure and lower IQs in children. "

The idea that you have to *ingest* a chemically reactive compound like fluoride just to protect your teeth ... is crazy. And that the dose you will get will depend on whether you happen to drink tap water, is also crazy.

Kids today are drinking mostly bottled water. Maybe we should put fluoride in bottled water?
