Do you really believe the PR China’s statistics?
Somewhat, they do seem to collaborate somewhat with the WHO

The same WHO they wouldn’t let enter the country for a month?

On a lower level, but just as insidious as we were/are told it is good for us, is the fluoridation of the public water supply in many cities. How absurd to force people to systemically take in fluoride when it is meant for direct application to teeth, and can be purchased for such direct application. I once read an article that it is a waste product of the aluminum industry. Industry is always looking for ways to sell waste product.

You may want to watch fewer InfoWars episodes.

What is InfoWars, a television series? I don't know as I have not watched television in 30 years.

Well, I have never heard of the site, but I do believe that adding fluoride to our water is dead wrong. It does nothing to make the water safer to drink.

But it does make a big difference with tooth decay.

But we don't drink water to address tooth decay. Also I am not convinced it makes much difference with tooth decay as many of my teeth decayed badly in spite of drinking fluoridated water all my life. And as I said before, there are topical applications such as fluoride rinse and it is in toothpastes. You can even get toothpastes with higher levels. So what it it does help teeth? What good (or bad) is it for the rest of my body?

BTW, are you a dentist?

In some places water is naturally flouridated and those places had less tooth decay.

Fluoridated water has no health concerns.

However if it really bothers you, then I guess you could just filter your city water.
