ADA says flouride is dangerous, after all

The American Dental Association has changed their stance on fluoride. For years, the ADA hasn't paid much attention to reports that excessive fluoride can be harmful to kids, but now they're changing their recommendations. They've issued an "interim" advisory against fluoride, which will most likely lead to an official advisory soon.

New recommendations regarding children and fluoride can be found in this article, notably the suggestions to avoid fluoride toothpaste entirely for children under 2 years old and have your water tested to make sure that the fluoride levels don't exceed 1.2 parts per million.
