Fluoridation has been mandatory in Ireland since the 50s. Considering how radically Irish lifestyles have changed in the last few decades (less poverty, better access to dental products, inexpensive/free dental care etc) I think it's crazy we're still forcefully mass medicating the majority of the population without their consent. Although mostly harmless, excessive fluoridation was recently linked to hypothyroidism in a UK study. I think it's time to seriously reconsider the decision instead of the occasional self-assurance everything is fine as is.
