Interesting thing I read somewhere though -- people who are using bottled

Actually, there is no evdience that people who use non-fluoridated
bottled water have more cavities. In fact, fluoride is neither a
nutrient nor essential for healthy teeth.

Often poor diet leads to tooth decay and, specificially, soda drinking.
Soda, ironically, usually has a substantial fluoride content since it
is bottled or canned in flluoridated cities.

After Coke gave the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry a $1
million grant, the AAPD helped launed Coke's fluoridated bottled water
but no mention that soda drinking is the number one cause of tooth
decay in Aemrica
