I don't think this is, among the recent posts about US, the one for which you should have such a reaction... but maybe I'm missing something important here.


Do European countries use fluoride in their water?

Do European countries use fluoride in their water?

Varies a lot from country to country, but over all it is done to a much lower degree than in the US.

However the big difference is that there isn't a ban on it. There are scientific guidelines published by the EU and then it is up to each country/state to decide if they want to add it or not based on local considerations.


In Germany: no The toothpaste has already enough fluoride and the healthcare system isn't completly broken.
