Naturally fluoride in water is called calcium fluoride. What chemicals are artificially added to water? Is it fluosilicic acid? Is it sodium fluoride? Is it Sodium Silicofluoride or Hydrofluorosilicic Acid? What are the trace contaminants that come with industrial grade chemicals? I know arsenic, mercury, are just a few. What does the Material Safety Data Sheets Say about these chemicals? What effect is ingesting these medications having on the body, the brain over a lifetime to us and to more vulnerable members of our society? Is this still being researched? From what I have read, it sure is not worth the risks and we are not lab rats. MC Milker

I'm not sure I would agree that some (preferably)natural fluoride is not necessary. The Merck manual does state that it helps build healthy bones and teeth - see: http://www.merck.com/mmhe/sec12/ch155/ch155d.html Douglas and Jean,
