Alternatives to fluoride

I live in Manchester, England. It is a unique city. Apart from hosting the most famous football teams in the world, and with a damper climates, (although Seattle is worse, obviously), it also has one of the strangest attributes in the country: it has clean water. No fluoride has been added. As most people know, fluoride is a rare metal that is hard to find in nature, but since the 1960s British families were entertaining there every day – in the water they drink from the tap.
Fluoride is a poison. You are not recommended for a bottle and swallow it, you would die. However, in small doses, it is claimed that it has a rare feature: You can use your teeth from decay. Research has shown, or so it is claimed that small amounts of fluoride in the water we drink can strengthen the e-mail in our teeth and prevent the formation of cavities. As English children have some of the worst teeth in the world, everything that can help prevent further decay will be a good thing, no matter how Outlandish. Of course, it is a strange plan. Here is the thesis: We are still something to your water, which is in itself a threat, but it is not a problem even worse, caries. Who could possibly vote against this? Manchester has. You always have the water free of the metal additive for almost two generations, while the rest of the soil has washed it in the truest sense of the word. It has been mixed results.
In the first place, the decay in children is highly uncomfortable. Why is this so? Are children in Manchester bad at cleaning their teeth? Do they not realize the benefits of Flossing? Well, here it is, but not for want of trying. School nurses regularly lecture the kids on the way to a toothbrush, and if you go into a primary school in the city, you will see posters and pictures on the wall of healthy teeth – the goal, after all. Maybe there’s another reason: good advice, in itself, does not work. That is certainly the attitude in other parts of the country. We do not want people to have rotten teeth, they say, so that we can tap fluoride to the water and the amount of fillings will go, whether people want this or days course they want you to say! It is obvious! But no, this is not obvious. If you or a family member wanted to avoid losing your teeth, the answer is glaring, in front of your nose: eat less sweets and chocolate, and brush and more regularly. Why do not the people? They say they will, they promise them, they resolve to do that every new year, when they decide for the next twelve months. But just as plans to go to the fitness studio, and great ideas about the other self-destructive habits, the common behavior is that all the good intentions fall by the wayside and the bad habits and unhealthy lifestyles, the spring back into the forefront in the spring.
Fluoridation is a good example of doing something for people, even if, in a logical world, they would not need it. Because, as any parent knows, there are alternatives. If you agree that fluoride is good for you, you can use it with built-in toothpaste. You can then the potential benefits directly to where it is needed, in your mouth, without involving anyone else in your health binge. No, we can not seem easy to do. Somehow we know that eating sweet things is bad for us, but we still do it. We know that brushing and Flossing is good for our teeth, but we do not. So someone, in this case local government steps in and says, "Right, we can not trust you to do the right thing. We will have to do it for you, (and take the decision out of the hands). We’ll add stuff to the water, so that you can not avoid it. They are now the health benefits (regardless of whether you choose to or not). Yes, this is a great opportunity for the treatment of people such as children, and forcing "good behavior" on the population, despite all the efforts we make every day to transform us into overweight, unhealthy, ugly and toothless.
The biggest consequence is that this kind of overbearing authority away from the consequences of human life. In a logical world it would be simple: you eat sweet things, your teeth fall out. Now it’s up to you. You have the choice. You eat the bar, you get false teeth. Your choice. In our Topsy-Turvy World, everything is different. Oops, you eat, that bad stuff. Well, we do not want to step in and with your decisions. They decided they eat (despite our good advice), and we can not stop. Ayah, but we can add contributions to the water you drink. It will heal you if your way of life, or not. They are healthy.
It is a dangerous step. Once you’ve added some ‘medicine’ to the water supply, there is a precedent for the search for reasons to get more and more. In the 1960s some people thought it would be a good idea to LSD on the dams, because, hey man, we are all to be buttoned. Let’s hang loose, baby. Uh, no, we do not agree with the wild hippies at the time and since. But in our modern world there are terrorists trying to poison our water, because they see it as a good way, our governments to follow its manifesto. That seems outrageous, until you realize that the existing water is not pure as it may, is it? It has already been tampered with, in the name, to give us better citizens. The terrorists are perhaps only one example from our own leaders.
It’s a fluid situation. The people are always the unexpected, and then let the experts confounded. In recent years, people with a lot of money and no sense to have the payment on the opportunities for water in bottles, convinced by advertising, she says that what is in the plastic bottle will give them a whole world of good . Well, maybe the liquid was filtered through volcanoes "or" at source ", (that is, it is full of minerals, obviously), but the important thing is that there is no tap water. Despite all the things medicates tried to do, they have been deceived by the ultimate put-down fashion. Suddenly, it’s just not cool to be seen drinking water from the faucet – no matter how good it is for you – and sucking from a plastic bottle is now all the rage in our modern world. Peach, legislators. You just have to see some new way to encourage people to do good. They are simply not the Downing Medicines water supplies you have prescribed for them. Who would have predicted that?
