Opponents of Fluoride
Opponents of fluoride often argue that adding fluoride to water or products may pose health risks, such as causing dental fluorosis (discoloration of teeth), bone issues, or other health problems. They question whether fluoride's benefits outweigh potential side effects, emphasizing concerns about long-term exposure, especially in vulnerable populations like children. Some also believe fluoride is a form of mass medication without individual consent, and point to studies suggesting links to health issues or question the safety and ethics of water fluoridation. Overall, their stance is based on caution and the desire for more comprehensive safety evaluations.
