Conspiracy theories…and the flouride debate

Published by ericam under environment, health Edit This

Here’s an interesting and amusing blog that relates to my previous blog titled, “Whats in the WATER??”:

I am responding to post #19 about FLOURIDE in the water.

No, we don’t have a choice if the government isn’t allowing us to vote on whether water is flouridated.  Furthermore, buying bottled water doesn’t alleviate the problem because we absorb a lot of water through our skin when we shower, brush our teeth and wash our faces with tap water.  And our skin just happens to be the largest organ in the body.

The choice should be the other way around, as I mentioned in my blog.  If one wants to use flouride, then one should be able to choose to buy products such as toothpaste and mouth wash that contain flouride.
