It's not new, Jan. Fluoride was recognised as a significant scientific
development in public health many years ago.
You do know that the benefits of fluoride were discovered by observing
nature, don't you? Isn't it good when *evil organised
[fill-in-the-blank]* takes something natural and makes it widely
available?

I understand that flouride can prevent cavities, but how does it work?

It changes the chemistry of tooth material to make it less prone to
erosion and decay. I'm sure one of the dentists here could give you a
fuller explanation.

And which pictures showed that I was lying? Fluorosis is well known
and understood. Please explain, again in your own words, how fluorosis
makes a lie of the statement "It changes the chemistry of tooth
material to make it less prone to erosion and decay".
