and adults, cavities affect everyone with teeth
- You can easily improve the cavity stats for adults by just having everyone lose their teeth by age 15.
  
  Worked for me! Half my teeth are fake due to poor education, poor hygiene when I was young, and well water.
  Quck edit: I'm not actually recommending it. It destroyed my confidence. I'm being sarcastic.
RFK is in the pocket of the establishment healthcare companies.
He is there to line their pockets by removing preventative measures.
- Insurance companies make money off fluoride in drinking water. The government pays for preventative care? That's their dream. They only pay for cleanings because cavities are more expensive to treat.
  
  If insurance companies had their way we'd have universal healthcare and mandatory private insurance that was allowed to deny claims freely.
  They get $800 a month, and replace their entire claims department with a system that automatically denies claims and forwards the bill to the government. You're legally obligated to receive preventative care and live a long and productive life to maximize the number of payments you make to them.
  Obviously dental, vision, skin, bones, organs and mental health are an additional $250 a month each, mandatory, and provide no coverage.
“Yes, it will lead to poor health and high profits”
The was no fluoride where I was born and lived for the first two years of my life. I’ve had a mouth full of cavities all my life.
- I never had flouride at all, ever, in my water and I've only had maybe 2 cavities.
  
  people do have different teeth.
  are you sure? Keep in mind that the most common reason to not flouridate water is because natural flouride levels are sufficient.
  
  I lived in a properly fluoridated region and have not had any!
  Ignore anecdotes kids and use statistics!
  
  My brothers had flouridarted water and few cavities. You won't convince me that's not at fault.
