The move has been criticised by experts, who say the mineral helps reduce oral cavities, especially in children.

    For context, this was done in Albera not long ago.

    Calgary, after decades of agitation by anti-fluoridators, removed fluoride from the water.

    10 years later, they brought it back.

    Yes, there IS such a thing as too much fluoride. Technically you can die from an overdose of WATER. That dangerous H2O substance can kill you if you ingest too much. Not a joke, water intoxication or water poisoning is real. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/water-intoxication

    Point is, fluoride is certain doses is safe and highly effective in preventing tooth decay. There are literally decades of studies.

      nerd Water can also be deadly at very low concentrations
