I'm glad you realize that fluoride is not necessary.

I'ts your BELIEF that they did the studies to prove fluoride is safe. No
studies have ever been done to prove the safety of fluoride. Most
dentists agree that too much fluoride is NOT safe in large amounts.
What is the level of fluoride ingestion that ceases to be "beneficial" and
starts being harmful?

The problem is the average American is unaware that there are any risks at
all associated with fluoridated water. In fact, the average American
doesn't even know if there is fluoride in their water supply. If they do,
they don't even know why it's there. Many parents are over-dosing their
children with fluoride because they haven't been informed enough about
fluoride from the medical, health and dental professionals.
