I think despite the studies which to date seem to indicate that little harm is caused by fluoridation, the issue boils down to one of choice.

If fluoride is not added to public water, those who believe in its benefits do have the option to add fluoridation at source.

However if fluoride is added to public water, those who wish to choose not to consume fluoride in any quantity have no option whether or not they consume it. In addition, water which is used for other purposes than consumption also have flouride added, which accumlates in the wastewater and affects the ecosystem in unknown ways.

I believe that individuals should have the right not to be forced to ingest a drug or any other substance if they do not wish to.

I also guarantee that removing fluoride from the public water system will result in a huge reduction in bottled water consumption, which would provide further benefits to the environment.
