Calgary was facing a big infrastructure cost to update our EOL fluoridation system. Three counsellors drove the charge to get rid of fluoridation entirely: a ‘stop all government spending!’ con, an anti-science earth mother type, and a progressive who kept screaming ‘we need to address dental care as a societal issue!’
And so we saw tooth decay climb for a decade. When we finally decided to put it back in, the cost was higher than the initial upgrade plus a decade of maintenance would have cost.
Too much fluoride injested softens bone, while when applied to the enamal externally it reinforces the filament bonds of enamel. So there’s that argument?
But they are also comparing old generation to 12 years later. I’m sure there is correlation with increased sugar drinks, and people losing jobs with benefits and not getting as many dental visists for fluoride treatment.
“My naturopath and the Yuka app told me it is tHe ToXicS so I advocated for its elimination. I ask the questions. I know my body. I know my health. We must protect the children from toxics, vaccines, pharma, and lesbian” - that kind of person happened to fluoride.
What was the problem they had with flourid again? Gives you a touch of the 'tism or makes your frogs gay?
I think in this case it was a budget thing (at least officially).
Saved $ 177k per year by pushing the costs onto kids. Hoorah! /s
In many cases, it looks like a funding issue - it’s admittedly a pretty huge expense to be handled at the municipal level.
The various conspiracy theories are just icing on the cake.
