Just realized I was wrong about fluoride in tap water

After reading that CDC study someone linked here last week, I actually changed my mind because the cavity rates in those towns that added fluoride dropped by 25% over 10 years, what convinced you guys to flip on something?

Yeah, the "25% drop in cavity rates" part is what got me too. I think it's kinda funny how we all get so locked into our beliefs about stuff like this, but then a simple number like that just flips a switch. It reminds me of how I used to swear by those expensive organic eggs until I actually looked up the nutrition facts and realized the difference was basically nothing for the price. Sometimes you just gotta let the data do the talking, even if it makes you feel like a dummy for being so stubborn before.
