I have been living in Calgary since before fluoridation began.
Before our water was fluoridated, my mother, an RN, would dose our drinking water with fluoride. This was very difficult to do and frequently resulted in too much being added (1 drop per 2 liters of water was all one needed.)
In 1989, I was 6 years old. The plebiscite was done, and our water started getting fluoridated.
It is now 2011. I brush my teeth -- as I always have -- once a day before bedtime. I have no other dental practices.
I have 0 cavities and impeccable teeth. My gums could be a little better, but that's because I'm horrible when it comes to regular flossing. I have minor gingivitis, but then again, so does the vast majority of the country.
I have been drinking tap water this entire time because it is clean and safe. I am now 28 years old. I'm not dying, I'm not poisoned, and I do not have any crippling physical ailments. I am living proof that a fluoridated water supply is not the boogeyman you upstarts claim it is.
The fact that the public is not suffering adverse affects en masse is proof enough to me that there is nothing wrong with adding a little fluoride to the city's water supply and would kindly ask the anti-fluoride advocates the same thing I kindly ask the anti-wifi advocates.
STFU, and GTFO.
