An introductory science course should be mandatory in all high schools. The scientific method should be ingrained in everyone's mind. Certain groups would or have lobbied against this as they are afraid the scientific method will threaten to pull the veil from their scams.

Our city banned fluoride decades ago. Thankfully, our pediatrician is so insistent on it that she treats all children as part of their pediatric visits.

But banning it from consumer products? Surely they can't be serious. Why not just target all vitamin and mineral products then? Single out fluoride is evidence that these activists are not very serious or intelligent.

After other states banned fluoridated drinking water, people said that it was better to put the fluoride directly on your teeth via tooth brushing.

Apparently that won't be happening any more either.

Ah yes, this is what Greatness looks like.

  But, despite the success, fluoride has always had detractors—from conspiracy theorists in the past suggesting the naturally occurring mineral is a form of communist mind control, to more recent times, in which low-quality, controversial studies have suggested that high doses may lower IQ in children.

To steel man the anti-fluoride argument you really should acknowledge the concerns about fluoride interfering with thyroid hormone synthesis, which can affect every system in the body.
