[quote:Anonymous Coward 70341220:MV8zMDkzNDM5XzU1MDk3NTAxXzFEMkVFNDIy] Well, we know the conspiracy about the sugar industry and them pushing for fluoride to protect the teeth from sugar. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/03/11/the-sneaky-way-the-sugar-industry-shaped-government-funded-dental-research/ So, there was probably at least one study that showed that it could protect your teeth at least a bit in the short-term. Otherwise, they probably wouldn't have pushed for it all, unless sugar is just taking the blame away from some other cause. I'm certain that all they cared for was to mitigate the negative effects of sugar, and not at all about overall health or long-term teeth health. They could have simply advocated for a reduction in the consumption of sugar, but then that would be too loving, and it seems to be near impossible in this money-driven society at the moment.

Original Message
Recently a Calgary study showed that kids are developing tooth decay because Calgary turned off the fluoridation in the public water. People are saying things like "Duh, thats obvious that would happen, its not toxic, it occurs naturally, it should be turned back on immediately."
After I read the comments I'm like
Does anyone think it has benefits? If so can you explain it to me. Maybe I just don't get it because I drank to much fluoride?
