While the dentist agrees that excessive fluoride causes fluorosis, she disputes the claim that it causes cavities. Dvorak cites a 2003 study from Kentucky suggesting tooth decay rates increased following mandatory fluoridation, though he acknowledges causation is complex.

The report acknowledges that over-fluoridation can cause dental fluorosis, resulting in brown spots on teeth. Adam Curry asserts that fluoride has historically been used as a pacifying agent and that the new guidelines simply ensure a "guaranteed" dose for the population.

One host argues against the government adding any chemicals to the public water supply, including fluoride, lithium, or Prozac. The discussion highlights concerns that most bottled water is simply repurposed tap water and that contaminants can be absorbed through the skin during showering.

A new trend involves proposals to add lithium to public water supplies to reduce suicide rates and mental illness, which the hosts view as a government effort to keep the population docile.
