Fluoridated water doesn't seem to make a difference on cavities. It does have neurological effects. It's simply not acutely fatal. It's already in our toothpaste. We don't need it in our municipal water supply and the majority of developed countries don't.

Only 3% of Quebec's population has access to fluoridated water and we have way more dental issues than any other province in Canada.
