What is That Stuff Flouride?
I think some dissaprove of use of flouride in water that we drink because sometimes the natural enviroment injects to much flouride into the water then it becomes unhealty. Their are scientific studies that have proven that too much flouride can cause brain damage and this has a most dramatic effect on infants. Also this may cause bone cancer but not very often. The last thing that it damages is the enamel on teeth causes them to rot.
My position on the adding of flouride to drinking water is have flouride be put in water but it does have its ups and downs. I would say that my most concern is causing the brain damage on infants so they do not end up with a large amount of brain damage when they grow up. I also believe that another primary concern would be having too much flouride in the water and having enamel grow on my teeth and have my teeth rot. I believe that the big upside though is that it would help stop the decay of teeth. That is my position on the addition of flouride to drinking water.
The technologies that had to be found are that it must be paired with an abrasive to be put into a toothpaste otherwise it would not work. The most obvious choice would be sodium flouride because i think almost everyone has heard of it. Procter & Gamble was the first company to come out with a flouride-abrasive tooth paste in 1955, which you might now know as Crest. It was a mixture of stannous flouride and calcium pyrophosphate. This is the technology that brought flouride into toothpaste.
The most concernable side effect would probably, for me, the enamal rot on the teeth. I mean who wants rotted teeth with plaque all over them because the drinking water company put in too much flouride. The second most important side effect would probably be bone cancer because it can cause death and that would not be a very good thing. The last side effect that causes concern would be the brain damage because damage to your brain can damage anything in your life.
