Would you like some flouride with your tap water you're probably not drinking you environment hating clean water liking bastard!

It's all over the news sites, San Diego now has fluoridated water. Supporters of the addition say that adding fluoride will help to curb caveties in young children. Critics site the "mass medication" of the drinking public and the spotty side effects.

Wealthy Dentist has some interesting facts.

A recent Wealthy Dentist survey asked dentists if they are in favor of water fluoridation. The clear majority (85%) support fluoridation, with many citing it as one of the top 10 public health innovations of the 20th century. The minority (15%) voiced concerns about the possible side effects of fluoride.

"Best preventive measure in modern history," exclaimed one general dentist. "All areas should be fluoridated," opined an Illinois pediatric dentist. "There is a reason it was rated one of the top ten health policies of the century," commented a New York orthodontist. "Water fluoridation is the most effective low risk and low cost method of reducing dental decay rates for children in any size community," said one Illinois dentist.However, some health advocates are not convinced that fluoridation is worth the risks. It's widely accepted that too much fluoride can lead to fluorosis, a condition characterized by brown stains on teeth. But some point to more serious possibilities, linking fluoride to health problems such as bone cancer, kidney and liver problems, and reduced IQ.

Opponents are also concerned about the social implications of involuntary mass medication. "It is forced medication of questionable benefit, and its source is chemical waste from fertilizer processing plants....eeeeeehh!" exclaimed a Washington dentist. "There is evidence that fluoride in the water may not be as effective as we have been led to believe," commented another dentist. "I do not like the idea of forcing fluoridated water on people. If you want to add fluoride to people's diets, there are other ways to accomplish this without adding it to our drinking source."

Since many of us live in the generation of "water bottles" what with it becoming an almost sign of if you are in or out (I do love me the Voss water bottles you can order at VIP tables in Vegas) this might not feel like the most alarming change for the general public. But with restaurants jumping on the tap water band wagon... it's just about that time for VIPs demanding their pitcher of tap water.
