Unless if it is colored. Or has large bits of minerals that collect in the bottom of the glass.

Unless your dog has pink hair and you drive a Jeep TJ what the hell is the problem with tap water?

LOL fluoride is a nutrient?

google it

hmm, awful lot of controversy over such a "nutrient".

did we have bad teeth like britain before we fluroidated our water?

how come when you see some of these tribes in remote areas of Africa with dismal water infrastructure their teeth are so pearly white and perfect? Must be a fertilizer factory nearby providing them with fluoride!

:roll:

Quick! Someone get this man a foil beenie!

Ooh, clever!

Guess I'll don my tin foil beanie along with these countries

The problem is there are some seriously whacko people out there who are trying to tie fluoride with "mind control". I wonder at the ulterior motive of these kind of people because these kind of preposterous ideas only undermine any arguments against fluoride, basically spurring simpletons to blurt out conpriacy theorist clichés like "tin foil beanies" to anyone speaking against it.

And each of those statements supposedly made by "countries" requires a foil beenie, because NONE of them are supported by hard science.

You'll note that NONE of those countries have lower rate of the myriad of health problems the foil beenie fools claim fluoridation causes, yet the US, on average, has better dental health.

Go figure.

Why do I call people who believe this foil beenie wearers? Because they are quacks. Each and every one of them.

I'll go with facts over fear mongering:

Careful, the brainwashed masses are about to attack you. Probably will be lead by the all-knowing and all-powerful Amused. ;)
