I understand that. And people today have infinitely less cavities because of
systemic fluoride. But can't parents take the respondibility of putting it
in their kids water, etc, so the rest of the population isn't forced to
ingest it? I agree with both view points here. If parents would only take
that responsibility on, we would all be happier. Unfortunately, too many
people want the government to take care of them. I am not one of them.
