Yes it does. The initial research was not done by those that had a product to sell, but was completed by those that first observed the benefit received by those that enjoyed naturally occurring fluoride in their drinking water. Over the decades of this debate, the overwhelming quantity and quality of research as been accomplished within the dental community. Do you have an anti fluoride or UFO book you would like to sell me?

Lots of luck convincing anyone on these threads. There's been a noticeable shift toward the anti-medical, bordering on quack theories that I've noted here since the whole Terri Schiavo mess. The site seemed to attract people who were so single-minded as to believe a single quack with a theory rather than accumulated research. (Hammesfahr in the case of Schiavo).

For sake of your sanity I recommend you also stay away from vaccine threads, autism threads, and mercury threads in particular. My husband (another dentist) has learned that clicking on them is bad for the digestion, LOL.
