Fluoride is healthy for you in trace amounts. It's good for your teeth. Tap water is better for you than bottled or filtered water, because it retains all sorts of minerals from the ground that your body needs.

They said that the tap water ain't good for you, because of contamination in the water supply, and all the bacteria.

Not true. Tap water is regulated by EPA. Bottled water isn't. You'd do better drinking tap.

How do you know fluoride is the active ingredient ?

Yes, but in large amounts. There are a lot of domestic products that are toxic in large quantities.

Really? I live in Ohio in the U.S, but I never knew they did. Plus, I never got sick from drinking the water in my area.

kids these days... flouride is good for you. the governement puts it (and other elements) into the public water supply on purpose so we dont have a country full of black toothed people with rickets and goiters.

The Brits don't have it in their water, and look at their teeth!

You would need to show statistics on that. As far as I know, most countries and developed ones, have fluorine added to the water. It is recommended by the World Health Organization. Or are you going to say that the British don't add vitamin D to their milk, either?

JK. I don't know where you got that idea from. Fluorine is good for your teeth and the tap water is regulated by EPA. Bottled water on the other hand is not regulated. You'll do better drinking tap. You can filter it if you want. So the only convincing your parents need is not to drink bottled water.
