This would 100% be easily enough to make me move away.
That's a massive negative impact on my child's health. Anyone with more than 1 braincell who lives in Utah right now and wants to raise kids should be considering leaving to live somewhere with fluoride, unless you want your kid to be at risk of a bunch of health issues.
2025: we are bringing fucking Rickets back baby!
Technically there is very little evidence of the benefits of flouridated water, aside from reducing tooth decay, but there are absolutely zero risks too.
Helping prevent tooth decay is the whole point of fluoridated water isn't it? I also believe dental health has been linked to other health issues like increased risk of heart disease and stroke.
It doesn't prevent tooth decay, you still have to take good care of your teeth with it, but it reduces tooth decay. Reduces. Important distinction.
So you're saying it's helpful, but while being a dick.
I'm saying if this becomes more of a partisan political issue then I will refuse to argue with the dipshits.
There are much more important issues at hand.
