Fluoride is a poison. Besides, it's completely foreign to the Primal Blueprint. It's too bad that the government insists on mass medicating us... with medicine that does more harm than good. Furthermore, tooth brushing was also non-existent during millions of years of evolution. I'm still brushing and flossing, but am highly skeptical and it wouldn't take much for me to stop. Dental problems come from the diet (sugar and flour), so with a healthy diet, brushing should be redundant. I agree with Dr. Mercola. Fluoride is a poison.

The fluoride that is added is a waste by-product of aluminum. Keep up the good work. Reading your posts are always an education. I learned about Marks Daily Apple from www.knowthecause.com.

My family and I have good teeth. My 14 year old has never had a cavity despite the lack of fluoride. Hyperthyroidism used to be treated with fluoride because it slows the thyroid down. Kids are put to bed with bottles and juice boxes are out of control. My city does not have fluoride in the drinking water and I do not have it in my toothpaste. My family and I have good teeth.

Where I live, my dentist said she could narrow the specific municipality I lived in to two, because of the state of my teeth. Both of these over-fluridate their water.

Dr. Joseph Mercola is a vocal opponent. He believes that ingesting flouride in water not only does not help teeth but actually harms the body. You are probably familiar with the work of dentist Weston Price. Those hunter-gatherers didn't get their perfect teeth by drinking flouridated water. Price's book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration documented very clearly that cavities were practically non-existent among hunter-gathers and rare amongst people eating traditional diets made from whole foods. The worst teeth were found among poor people who subsisted on white flour products. My city's water reeks of chlorine, so I forsake it in favor of reverse osmosis-filtered water.
