    This is stupid, even if it is in a tiny amount.
    I live in Hampshire, and this has got me paranoid simply because I don't want chemicals added to my water.

    Personally, I think this is bulls***, as the majority of people I know use their water for tea, concentrated fruit juices etc. It just seems pointless to mix a tiny amount of anti-tooth decay with something that is bound to decay your teeth.

    It's NOT stupid, it's just following a pattern, a WORKING pattern, I might add, that is used in HUNDREDS of cities WORLDWIDE. There is nothing unsafe about it, and the small amount in it might just PREVENT some of the tooth decay from the tea, etc.

    Well, I just went to the dentist yesterday - after not having gone in 4 years, and not brishing my teeth regularly in months - and I learned that there was absolutely nothing wrong with my teeth. Want to know why? Because I grew up in what is called the "fluoride generation" by dentists - My generation (I am 20 years old) has grown up with fluoride in our water, preventing virtually ALL tooth decay. I am not exactly the healthiest eater - in fact, I am probably the least healthy person you could find - and I rarely brush my teeth (I chew gum and ice and use mouthwash, instead), and yet my teeth are in PERFECT condition. If that is not enough proof that fluoride works, I don;t know what is.

    Sorry for the new post, just wanted to add some new evidence and see what people thought.
