no. but it does cause brain damage and a bunch of other problems. so drink up

" Dr. John Yiamouyiannis examined the raw data from a large study that was conducted by the National Institute for Dental Research (NIDR). He concluded that fluoride did not appear to have any decay preventing success, as there was little difference in the DMFT values (the mean number of decayed, missing or filled teeth) for approximately 40,000 children. It did not matter whether they grew up in fluoridated, non-fluoridated or partially fluoridated communities. (Yiamouyiannis, J.A. "Water Fluoridation and Tooth Decay: Results from the 1986-87 National Survey of U.S. Schoolchildren", Fluoride, 23, 55-67, 1990)."

Some people like to call this doctor a quack... Even so, there is NO PROOF fluoride prevents tooth decay.

But the truth is tooth decay is caused by poor nutrition from the inside out (remember when mom told you sugar rots your teeth? well she was right). So the best way to protect your teeth is to eat healthy.

Fluoride causes brain damage and LOWERS IQ.

There has also been research on fluoride CAUSING tooth enamel problems.

It has been linked to gastrointestinal disorders, thyroid disorders, premature birth even Down's Syndrome.

It is a rat poison. It should not be consumed by humans. Or any other animal that would like to live.

If you dont believe me please, look it up yourself.
