Shocked to my core, CBC has allowed comments.

The causes of most children increased dental problem actually has to do with the fact that they are formula feed with products high in sugar and then get inundated with it more as they age. The solution isn't fluoride.

How about we include dental coverage in our healthcare instead of putting poison in our water because it might help with tooth decay.

[davidcosborn]

They shouldn't force it on people.

[weshayes]

Bad idea, stuff is not for internal consumption. It says it on the bags they add.

[gdhammo]

Canada will let the truth out. If they want it they can get it prescribed.

[MrDemented]

they put a skull and cross bones on the bag of sodum flouride

[marmac]

What I would like to know is who are these clowns making these decisions for everyone? I bet they don't even drink tap water.

[robertdixon]

The minority can filter it out if they wish.

[DChess]

Soon Canadians will be as aggressive, complacent, and aloof as Americans but at least they will have good teeth.

tooth decay is really painful, think of the kids.

[isbemorph]

i wonder if a local bottled water supplier has something to do with this..

[lainsandstrom]

It's spelled 'fluoride'

[MrSloppyLoppy]

Well, good thing I've been doing rain water and bottle water. You're not going to allow this to continue. I get MORE than enough water for the year when it does rain. I will NOT use our water ever again.

[leeamessage]

But don't toothpaste already have flouride?

[matthewlynn]

BTW, it's spelled "fluoride."

[CounciKids]

Dentists: adding Flouride in water decreases chances of cavities

Health professionals: This will decrease cost of dental care and keep you healthy

Ppl who know nothing about dental health: This is terrible! You're going to poison us o_O
