This is so dumb, and based on psudoscience at best, and straight up falsities at worst.

I don't know whether water fluoridation is worthwhile. But I do know that various European countries have discontinued it. https://web.archive.org/web/20160303202219/http://www.appgaf...> Are they also working off of pseudoscience and falsities?
