67 % of Americans receive fluoridated water
- More people drink fluoridated water in the US than in the rest of the world combined.
100 published studies have found fluoride's harm to the brain
Fluoridated countries do not have less tooth decay than non-fluoridated countries.
40 % of American teens show visible signs of fluoride overexposure (CDC)
- Outwardly visual signs of this condition include pitting and discoloration of your teeth,
African American and Mexican American children have significantly higher rates of dental fluorosis, (dark skin, vitamin D?)

Added the following

97 percent of the Western Europe drinks non-fluoridated water.
40 human studies and 100 animal studies linking fluoride to brain damage
fluoride added to most water supplies is not the naturally occurring variety
For Infants, Fluoridated Water Provides No Benefits, Only Risks
- Note - distilled water is available in many places for making infant formula
Fluoride Supplements Have Never Been Approved by the FDA

Totally unknown: How much Magnesium is removed by Fluoridated water: 0.1%, 1%. 10% ?
Unable to quickly find Magnesium deficiency in Europe to compare with the US

NEVER mix infant formula with fluoridated tap water for example, as this may overexpose your child to 100 times the proposed "safe" level of fluoride exposure for infants!
