I read this article on the WEF’s website and it certainly reminded me that the concept of municipal mass-medication is severely flawed. It is incomprehensible to me that anyone in their right mind would attempt to apply a nutritional supplement or medicine through drinking water, since there is no control over the amount of water people drink in a day and there appears to be no consideration give to varying body types, interfering chemicals and consumption volumes. I’m not a doctor, so I am hopelessly unqualified to comment on the merits of ingesting fluoride; if fluoride is good for you and acts as a medicine to protect teeth/bones and has serious overdose side-effects like mottling, fluorosis etc… then it should be applied by a competent medical professional like a doctor or dentist. From my own personal research it appears that topical applications of fluoride are best, instead of ingestion, so I certainly am not interested in me or my family to be drinking fluoride at all. I hope the lesson learned here is that cities shouldn’t attempt mass-medication and instead deliver water that is as clean as possible without adding chemicals to it that could affect human health.
I personally choose not to drink “nutrients” or “medicines” in my water. I’d much rather drink clean, clear delicious water and add nutritional supplements/medicines as necessary in dosages appropriate for my body size and prevailing medical conditions based on the recommendation of my health practitioner.
