When a person has the choice to purchase toothpaste with or without fluoride seems like a fair practice. Similar to cigarettes, if a person decides to undertake a habit that increases the risk of contracting serious health problems, its their choice to do so.
Unless a large portion of the population decides to use a filter on their shower head and buy bottled water; they are begin dosed with levels of fluoride that are questionably toxic.
The CDC promotes community fluoridation as safe. After a minor amount of research I found irony in the fact it was much easier for me to find information on fluoride being harmful than dangerous.
If in fact the additional fluoride we receive from water (also in a lot of foods and carbonated beverages) is harmful, then why is the CDC promoting it?

I found this to be an interesting site. While its intentions are obvious, the collection of information has a wide span.
