You said they stopped it because there was no benefit. Do you have a source for that claim? Wikipedia (not a source) doesn't give reasons for the discontinuation of flouride.

Wikipedia does say that if you read further on, but unfortunately without primary sources. Unfortunately it's late here or I'd love to try and find some.

No, it's okay. You made claims which you then sourced to a Wikipedia article that doesn't say what you claimsd it said and doesn't contain references to what you claimed.

That tells me all I need to know.

I wish the press would do the responsible thing and use the proper words for those things: "corporate raiders".

Giving into establishment's newspeak is not doing anyone a favor. And let questionable people do the toxic thing they do (destroying companies for his own interest) while feeling good about themselves.

For now, I chose to keep away from any media that uses those lying words (such the ones one would use to cover up for torture, bombings, etc).

Noted: Fortune is in the no read list.

It's trivial to find sources for the effectiveness of fluoride in preventing tooth decay (Google -> Wikipedia -> a citation leads you here: http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/rr5014a1.htm ). There are also studies on water fluoridation's impacts, though it's harder to test that, by nature.

Oh hey, published by the "Fluoride Recommendation Work Group"! Wonder what their agenda is? You have only to look up the rates of tooth decay among non-fluoridated countries to find that there is no difference whatsoever.

It doesn't matter what theirs is, the link I gave you isn't useful as a source, but as a list of sources.

Trouble reading much? http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Water_fluoridation...

Says exactly what I claimed. I'm not going to waste my time finding primary sources, because your asinine response tells me all I need to know.
