Name, Proof: re. "Over 90% of European cities have no fluoridation in their water supply and yet have experienced the same decrease in tooth decay that we have experienced over the past 40 years." Can you show me the data? Links to references, please.

Specifically, data that says over 90% of European cities have no fluoridation in their water supply (and that accounts for the many European cities where fluoridated salt is common), that they have the "same" decrease in tooth decay as Canadians, and that accounts for any existing differences between their countries and ours, such as fluoride rinses in schools, natural levels of fluoride in their water, etc.?

Jim: can you show me data that shows Hamiltonians have an unusually high level of dental fluorosis compared to communities without fluoridation? Can you show me data that shows that in communities with the same level of water fluoridation as Hamilton, and the same naturally occuring fluoride levels as here, there is a high degree of dental or skeletal fluorosis? Links to references please, not just a bunch of paragraphs that have no citations.

Ted showed data indicating the benefits of fluoridated water. Specifically, he linked to:

http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=27492&rendertype=figure&id=F1 http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/article...

Both of those charts show data collected from multiple studies that clearly demonstrate the benefits of fluoridated water.
