Why would not Hoggies, that have teeth, not benefit from strengthing of said teeth? Would not stronger teeth contribute to less mouth rot and teeth coming out due to the teeth being pulled in yanks from fearful owners? Not to mention their soft diets.
LOL I wasn't being serious ...but doubt they need it.

No. It's not natural for Hoggies to get flouride, but if they do I see that as good, not bad. The amount of flouride in water is not going to hurt them - it's negligble.

Tap water has to be way safer - germ, parasite, bactiria-wise - than river or lake water. That has polluntants like pesticides, fertilizer, pig/cow/etc. poo, etc., the little guys find in the wild.



"Fluoridation is the greatest case of scientific fraud of this century, if not of all time."
- Robert Carton, Ph.D. former U.S. EPA scientist

"Fluoride is an accumulative poison which accumulates in the skeletal structures, including the teeth, when the body is exposed to small daily intakes of this element. ...it is like lead accumulation in the bone until saturation occurs and then lead poisoning sets in."
- Dr. P.H. Phillips, biochemist, University of Wisconsin

"I know of absolutely no, and I mean absolutely no means of prevention that would save so many lives as simply to stop fluoridation, or don't start it where it is otherwise going to be started. There you might save 30,000 or 40,000 or 50,000 lives a year, cancer lives. That is an awful lot of lives a year."

The quotes above maybe a bit extreme perhaps the GOVERNMENT is right and it's absolutley safe. But why gamble.. There's great evidence and science on both sides of the argument. But to me it is always best to be cautious. I am definetly not as educated or for that matter probably not as intelligent as any one of these folks..so I'll just bypass the whole topic by only using the purest of water. The trace elements in water are definatly benefitial so there are drawbacks. Ideally the best water would be natural water from a well or stream etc.. but that is not always accessible for everyone.
Does anyone use well water or water from a natural source?
