If fluoride creates perfect cavities-free teeth (as is usually claimed by the so-called experts), will somebody please explain why then, teeth are still rotting after brushing this stuff on our teeth for the past 30 years or so??
“They” claim that mercury in vaccines are safe which makes no sense since mercury at any level is toxic and now mercury in vaccines is linked to autism.
Fluoridation chemicals dumped into your drinking water are also allowed to have .2 parts per billion mercury.

Does that really make sense to you - especially since fluoride is not required to make tap water safer to drink? And especially since no human is fluoride deficient.
The fluoride the dentist puts on your teeth or prescribes via supplements or that is available in toothpaste doesn’t have mercury. So why is it acceptable for the Florida Department of Health to allow mercury in your water fluoridation chemicals?
Do you really trust the Florida Department of Health employees to know what’s best for you as an individual?
Who are they? Are they allowed to say anything negative about fluoridation? Do their jobs require them to endorse fluoridation. And what would happen to them if they didn’t.
