[QUOTE="newfie, post: 6099482, member: 58700"] i realize that you hate all things trump and trump related but sometimes when you don't understand an issue you can research it and see why people may have a different opinion than you on an issue. in this case a simple google/ ai search may be able to help you . [LIST] [*][B]Health Concerns:[/B] [LIST] [*][B]Dental Fluorosis:[/B] Excessive fluoride intake during tooth development can cause dental fluorosis, which ranges from barely noticeable white flecks to more severe staining and pitting of tooth enamel. While proponents acknowledge this risk, they argue the recommended levels minimize severe cases. [*][B]Skeletal Fluorosis:[/B] Very high levels of fluoride intake over many years can lead to skeletal fluorosis, a painful condition affecting bones and joints. Opponents worry about long-term accumulation, though proponents state this is extremely rare at the levels used in U.S. water systems. [*][B]Thyroid Function:[/B] Some studies have suggested a possible link between fluoride exposure and impaired thyroid function, although major reviews by health organizations have not found conclusive evidence of harm at recommended water fluoridation levels. [*][B]Neurotoxicity/IQ:[/B]Some controversial studies have suggested potential links between higher fluoride exposure (sometimes in areas with naturally high fluoride, not necessarily controlled fluoridation) and lower IQ in children. However, major health bodies like the CDC state that the evidence is inconsistent and insufficient to prove causation at the levels used for community water fluoridation. [/LIST] [*][B]Ethical Concerns/Individual Consent:[/B] Opponents argue that adding fluoride to public water constitutes mass medication without individual consent. They believe individuals should have the right to choose whether or not they ingest fluoride. [*][B]Dosage Control:[/B] It's impossible to control the exact dose of fluoride each person receives, as water intake varies greatly depending on age, activity level, climate, and health status.
