SA push to add fluoride to bottled water

SA push to add fluoride to bottled water : "'There's also a link between dental health and general health.'"

I really do not want additives in food. I don't want folate in bread, omega 3 in yoghurt nor fluoride in bottled water. It misses the point of feeding yourself properly and paying attention to what goes in your mouth and where it comes from. Poeple need to know how to eat the right food groups, they need to know what comes from where and what minerals and vitamins are in which foods. The one size fits all takes away that basic need for people to learn about food. Yes, healthy body, healthy teeth...but healthy teeth, healthy body? Your teeth reflect your oral hygiene practices, your diet, your level of exercise. It's about feeding your body. Fluoride is a part of that but it does not need to be in bottled water. People need to know the sources and how much . Educate them.
