See the rest of this thread. If you think the group (at RFK doing so in an official government capacity) using such inflammatory language is going to stop at removing fluoride from just water I don't know what to tell you.

I disagree there. When you actually listen to what RFK says instead of the media's spin on the most extreme cuts taken out of context, it's nowhere near as sensational. In particular RFK has consistently and repeatedly stressed an opt-in view on all things health/pharmaceutical related. If you want it, you can have it. But when you do things like fluoridate public water supplies, you turn it into an opt-out system where unless you go out of your way - you're going to get it.

Tooth paste, and other commercial products, are opt-in systems. And indeed there are already numerous unfluoridated options available.
