Hey /sci/

I was just wondering why we keep flourinating our water? Several studies have shown that it is detrimental to bones, and also there is correlation between IQ dropping in areas with flourinated water?

So why do we keep doing it?

there isn't enough fluoride in water to kill you.

Only kids can get fluorosis because it only affects developing teeth.

Fluoridation of water is decided solely by the local utility, no state or federal mandate, if you are that paranoid, lobby to have them stop. But before you do, remember that fluoridation is the single most important public health tool for improving dental health in the United States, and that high doses of fluoride in water cause barely noticeable discolorations on your teeth, the other studies pointing to bone problems or iq loss are wrong, flawed, or use extremely high concentrations of fluoride. There are cases where water is naturally fluoridated beyond recommended levels, and the utility still adds fluoride, but that is rare, and should be handled locally, not through nationwide ban on fluoride.
