For 65 years, community water fluoridation has been a safe and healthy way to effectively prevent tooth decay. CDC has recognized water fluoridation as one of 10 great public health achievements of the 20th century.

I'd too trust the GOV website better than the mighty youlube.

Why the toothpaste has fluor in it? Used fluor toothpaste 47 years and no health issues, I have all the original teeth in good condition.

If you don't like the taste or smell of the water, use the RO system with 2 cheap prefilters that takes the sludge out of the water too, not clogging the expensive RO filter.

In the quest for knowledge, I looked it up. It seems that only in Germany and Holland the drinking water is fluor free. Hardy 97% of europe.

In that case, could you please explain this:

It seems that you didn't check your sources of information.

It's common for pseudo knowledge to occur when people don't check the sources of information.

I guess the CDC and WHO are wrong and you are right.

It seems Americans trust everything they see on TV or video?

I lived there 6 years and saw how the peoples trust to TV was amazing.

You can elect a president or destroy your oppenents with TV ads. Just depends how much money you can spend.

You can give whatever statement you want and no consequences (freedom of the speech), the same with advertising.

You can freely shout in the street (if organized demonstration) kill the n***ers, kill the n***er president. That's what the remaining Colorado group of the KKK did about a year ago, all was shown in the news, no sensoring. Nobody went to jail, as "freedom of the speech".

Look e.g. Fox "News" rightwingnuts or MSNBC "News" leftwingnuts, now under the new president campaign. You understand how grazy it is.

Lucky to be out of there. But feel sad to some of the friends left behind.

American knowledge

Been there, lucky to be out of that mis/dis-knowledged TV culture. I still don't belive they landed on the Moon.

But that's something that often creates confusing situations with others.

And if you try nicely to educate, you get smacked

Go out and buy distilled water for using in car batteries, no fluoride there

Diverting slightly from the topic of fluoridation, I was wondering what sort of a legacy of untreated water still exists in Brazil?

The reason I'm asking is that I know that SP and the towns in the ABC region all treat their water but I really don't see many water fountains around and see much more bottled water being consumed than in other places I've been, eg the multitude of motos and trucks delivering 20L water bottles to homes.

Is it really that the water treatment system is so unreliable that people are afraid to drink the water? Or is it a matter of taste? Or is it simply a cultural legacy left over from the days of poorly treated water?

Why it is a suprise in Brazil? This is still a developing country. And I mean there's a lot of development to be done to acchieve any kind of civilized human level of living.

South Texas (in the great USofA) the same thing, treated water, but the tap water was totally undrinkable, even the shower needed filter. All the taps were corroding, God knows what was in the water?

You couldn't wash your face without almost puke. I put filters on every tap what we had.

In Colorado it was not much better either. Even all the nice mountains etc around.

Everybody was using the 5gal bottles to get water from the automated fountains, 75cents 5gal.

I never found good tap water in US. All the restaurants used tap water in the Coke or any other fountain mixtures, the drinks tasted like sh*t. This was noticeable feature in the water at least in Colorado, Texas, California and Illinois. I stopped drinking anything that came out mixed with tap water.

Maybe my standards were too high as where I'm from originally, the water is crystal clear, clean and tastes great from tap, usually from drilled well into the ground water sources. My home the well was 65m deep into the base rock. The only thing you need to check with rock based wells is the Radon gas levels. You can't smell or taste it.

Finally someone posts a source!! If you actually read all that the CDC says on fluoride, instead of skimming, you will find my previous quote right on their website! Drinking water does not need to be medicated, with fluoride or any other drug for that matter!! Do some simple research to learn about it, instead of trusting the one source you are using! You will find country's that refuse to put fluoride in their water supply, including many places in the US and Canada! I hope that eventually Brasil will catch on!
