Scientific method is hypothetico-deductive. It does not prove anything, however it disproves the opposing ideas. When it can not disprove a opposing idea it accepts is as objectively true and waits to see if it can disprove it later with the help of future evidence. Absence of evidence is not an evidence of absence. Actually to understand why they can not declare that no harm will be done by water fluoridation, first you need to understand scientific method.

Now you have to take the next step and set up objective parameters to determine which info is credible and which is not. If you believe fluoridated water is some how harmful at municipal concentrations, you're subscribing to bad information. Sit down and really think right now what your standards are for accepting a claim. I completely believe you when you say your an info junkie.
