So he's arguing that there's enough evidence to prompt this reassessment of the risks and the benefits of fluoride in the water system. Hmm. Now, on the other hand, you've got a dentist like Stephen Levy. He's a public health dentist at the University of Iowa. He wrote the other op-ed that argues for staying the course. And he says that using this data for that debate is a stretch.

So he says that they didn't fully consider some other recent research that cast doubt on the links between fluoride exposure and IQ. And he also makes the point that, you know, because water fluoridation is so common, we take its benefits for granted. You know, there are problems definitely associated with getting cavities too. It can be painful. You can get infections.

You can have to go to the dentist and get expensive fillings, or you can miss school for it. Like there are all these problems that are also associated with getting cavities.

Yeah, so there are a couple that are being raised right now. One of them is about whether, you know, because people get fluoride not just from their drinking water, but also from the food that they eat, the toothpaste and mouthwash they use.

whether that total cumulative fluoride might be pushing some vulnerable people, again, that's pregnant people and young children, whether that's pushing their fluoride levels to levels that might be harmful. And another question is really on the benefit side of it.

There is recent analysis that showed that fluoride in the drinking water definitely prevents cavities, but it's not to the same extent that it was back in the 40s, 50s, 60s, before fluoridated toothpaste became a regular thing. So Some are saying that it's time to reweigh the risks and the benefits given how society has changed.
