Dr. Ted Mitchell lacks a very important credential in this argument.

He was not appointed as the person in charge of making a medical decision on behalf of...well...anyone.

To the best of my knowledge, I cannot think of a single person in the history of the world that was granted permission to choose individual forms of medicine on behalf of mankind.

He can certainly research and offer his opinion and even act on behalf of his family- if they wish to agree with his line of logic.

That is problem with fluoridation. No one has the right to medicate their neighbor. It is so easy and cheap to obtain fluoridated toothpaste (or fluoride tablets) for oneself. Why the fascination with acting on behalf of so many unwilling- or probably better described as 'disinterested'- constituents?

Take care of yourself. Stay out of your neighbor's medicine cabinet. If someone wants a fluoridated product, let them. Otherwise, stay out of their (my) business.
