97% of Western Europe I think.
To be fair, I believe there are studies showing direct flouride treatment to kids teeth strengthens enamel (flouride treatments at the dentist every 6 months for kids). That has nothing to do with dumping it into the water supply.
Dumping it into the water supply is insane and should be banned. Your only option in America is to get a reverse osmosis water filter.
Adding it to water is basically medicating the water. Why is it appropriate to medicate the population without them being diagnosed and prescribed that substance beforehand?
Sodium Hexaflouride vs Stannous Flouride.
Sodium Hexaflouride does nothing for teeth and is a waste byproduct. Stannous Flouride supports teeth, but you can't find anything that has it anymore, and it is still poisonous if ingested - it should only superficially rest on your teeth. Flouride isn't just 'Flouride'.
Yes. It is an industrial waste byproduct. There is nothing they can do with it except put it in the water supply ever so slightly to have us consume it and dispose of it through our bodies.
In some countries, there is
(a) outrage over putting it in the water supply, or
(b) lack of financial resources necessary to acquire the systems to put it in the water supply on a massive scale,
so they put it in common table salt that everybody buys. Similar to the way they put iodine in the salt (iodized salt), except they put fluoride in it too.
Is there a problem with iodine in salt? Or were you just comparing them in the sense of additives?
Just comparing them in the sense of additives.
