So what it the disadvantage of fluride in the water? Please tell me.
Well, the fluoride calcifies in your pineal gland. It shows up on brain scans and if it is not centered can help indicate or diagnose brain tumors. Some also say that the calcification closes your third eye and prevents you from communing with the ether.
Wow. That sounds bad
ಠ_ಠ
I thought it'd be obvious that it was sarcasm given how preposterous my comment was. Come on..."Big Dental!" LOL
You would think no one would seriously use a term like "big dental," but...

Lol wtf
haha you got me!!
Fluoride is a neurotoxin, easy info to look up (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7230026/). Even if this is unproven, should we be putting drugs in the water where there are questions about how it affects brain development? If lead was good for our teeth, would that justify adding lead to our water?
Drugging a population through tap water is a terrible way to dispense drugs. If you disagree, do you mind if I put LSD in your water? It's been shown to have positive effects on mental health. How about lithium, should be add that too? Lithium is naturally found in some water also and also has been show to have positive mental effect in those areas, same story that got us to put fluoride in our water.
Our tap water effects so much more than our teeth, ignoring all other effects because it reduces tooth decay is plain dumb.
Fluoride is a mineral and builds up. Decades of fluoridated tap water used in gardens and our environment mean ever increasing toxin in our environment. It's bad for plants (also easy to look up) and it's effects on animals, birds, etc is unknown. Is it ok to gamble the well-being of other species when the tooth decay problem can be solved in ways without added risk?
The fluoride added to tap water is not of pharmaceutical quality, it's a waste product of fertilizer or nuclear material industries.
Hahahaha
