the public health benefit is insanely more valuable than the extremely subtle flavor, thats probs more influenced by the pipes 2 inches from your faucet than whatever the municipality is putting in. if you take a sip of the low class commoner swill referred to by the swarming ignorant and impoverished masses as "tap water" and stick out your tongue, pinch your nose, and exclaim "yuck!" then I have bad news for you dude and it is that you are a loving pussy, wiener, and bitch.

in fact in most cases it's probably better than the so-called purified bottled water they sell at stores, cause there are no federal regulations in the us to make sure that water isn't poo poo, but your local health dept has environmental specialists working hard to make sure the tap water isn't going to give you deadly diarrhea

quick reminder that water fluoridation isn't a public health issue it's a private business issue

there are no conclusive studies that dumping fluoride (a waste product) in public water supplies has any measurable health benefit, the purpose of fluoridation is to subsidize industrial waste disposal

hey that's cool, they cite the same studies that come to the conclusion of "water with fluoride in it does improve dental health in laboratory experiments but we couldn't possibly study the effects in a population where it's dumped into a public water supply so, meh, go for it"
