Don't you have affordable dental care and time off from work? Not exactly apples and apelsiner.

Sweden also has significantly more robust social safety nets, higher income, homogenous population among many other things that allow this to work out. The US has entire regions where dental care basically isn’t a thing and I don’t think it’s ok to be harming our already very vulnerable populations and leaving kids with painful, expensive dental issues that could have been prevented that can contribute to things like poor eating, malnutrition, blood infections, distracting pain and discomfort

it's a weird issue to me, because it's a really out-dated conspiracy theory.

most people these days have been marketed away from tap water and only drink bottled stuff, which doesn't fluoridate its water. and the people that are too poor to drink the bottled stuff probably have more to worry about when it comes to the pipes carrying the water.

fluoridation was started a long time ago, before a lot of people brushed their teeth with toothpaste. which is the next funny thing to me. why do we still need fluoride in water if people use toothpaste now, and why are people opposed to having it in their water when they consume it voluntarily multiple times every day?

you want to address water issues in america? start with fucking michigan. start with the lead pipes in low income areas. address the science that shows a link between lead poisoning and crime.
