This is a terrible idea. Fluoride does not strengthen the teeth. She said it is the most successful way to protect teeth from cavities? That is a lie, healthy eating and keeping away from sweets is the most common sense way to protect your teeth from cavities. Excessive ingestion of fluoride during the early childhood years can damage the tooth-forming cells, leading to a defect in the enamel known as dental fluorosis. Flouride has MANY negative side effects on the immune system and the brain. Sodium Fluoride is the same chemical they use in rat poison. There are many studies on this, doctors and professionals alike agree that fluoride is harmful to the body. Here is a site which can help bring awareness to the dangers of fluoride in water:

Fluoride is also what the Nazis put in the water to control the people and keep them docile and submissive. Please pay attention to this warning, educate yourself and warn others about the toxic effects of fluoride in water.

By the way, I don't mean to call the lady who made this video a liar, she may be unaware of the dangers of fluoridating water. It is however is a health concern and is important for people to know why fluoride is being put in their water and find out who is responsible for actually putting it in water since the evidence for water fluoridation as a health concern has been around for decades.

We refer the reader to a number of publications from credible, scientific sources — including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — each of which concludes that drinking optimally fluoridated water is a safe and effective way to reduce tooth decay. Interested readers may want to visit examples of these reports, including:
