I have not read anything about why? What are the range of fluoride levels in water? What’s the science say about it?

As a kid I remember fluoride being added and how it would improve dental health. What studies were done back then and what’s changed now?

For the conspiracy theorists... You get more fluoride from a cup of tea than you do from a liter of tap water. Raisins have three times higher concentration of fluoride than what is found in tap water. Seafood and leafy greens like spinach are also higher in fluoride than tap water.


If this is all true then why do we need it in tap water? And all the British do is drinking fricking tea all day and their teeth are still fricked up.

Of course Mike Fesi would be one of the authors of this bill.

So far our legislature wants to: ban fluoride, ban “weather control” chemicals, and exempt NIL money…among other things. Meanwhile, I believe we rolled back restrictions on chemical plants in cancer alley, sales tax went up and covers more items, insurance still high, and we’ve withdrawn funds/plans for major coastal restoration and flood projects. Loser state governed by morons.

Comparisons of similar populations have shown over and over that dental procedures rise in areas that do away with fluoride.


A good friend is an endodontist and has stated the same thing.

I often say the average citizen of Louisiana is dumb, and the average legislator is dumber than the average citizen of the state. Watching and attending hearings every session always wounds my self esteem because of that.

I have zero issue with this.

Then why do we need it in the tap water?

Here is what happened in Juneau Alaska and Calgary Canada when they stopped adding fluoride.

Great. This will make our schools better, help cut down crime rates and lower insurance costs.

Just what we need.

Do it through other methods, like the vast majority of the world.



Fluoridated salt, among other methods.

Majority of 1st world countries don’t put it in the water supply.

How about a bill mandating brushing your teeth twice a day with flouride toothpaste? Most water consumption today is by bottled water not tap water.

that is an excellent article and any one with children needs to read it.


Another way of looking at it, locate a US map that illustrates which states add Fluoride. Over lay it with l rain fall amounts. The states adding Fluoride are higher precipitation, with drinking water coming from surface rainwater. States not adding are heavy well water users with naturally occurring fluoride

I need to know if Alex Jones is for or against it before I make a decision.
