Our livestock and pets are subject to the same adverse side effects of pharmaceuticals, food additives, and toxins in the water that we are...
If the water that you use to water you livestock and pets is 'city water' you may want to find a filter that is capable of removing fluoride. Fluoride, despite all of it's praises that you will read on the internet by the American Dental Association, the American Medical Association, and the government, is toxic waste; put in municipal water systems because they do not know how else to dispose of it.
- "Despite widespread public health adoption, water fluoridation has come under close scrutiny over the past quarter century as science overwhelmingly shows fluoridation has little to no benefit in preventing dental caries
- Fluoride is actually a cumulative poison with toxic effects that contribute to multiple health problems, including lowered IQ, fluorosis, bone weakness and fractures, immune and endocrine dysfunction; what little benefit there may be for your teeth is far overshadowed by the overall health risks
- It is exceedingly difficult to accurately estimate your total fluoride exposure, and many people are receiving far too much fluoride from drinking water, toothpaste and antibiotic exposures
- Dental caries are not improved with fluoride, but rather by proper nutrition and dental hygiene; a major factor is over consumption of sugar, particularly high fructose corn syrup, which feeds the bacteria that cause dental caries
- Despite the fact you've been told by the CDC, ADA and others that water fluoridation lowers your risk for tooth decay, scientific studies repeatedly show the opposite to be true—rates of dental caries are trending downward, irrespective of whether or not water fluoridation is use".

When searching on the web sodium fluoride is one of the greater debates that I have found.... and the debate goes on and on and on...
The health effects of fluoride in 'city water' and dental products may be subtle and cumulative over a long period of time but the video below, without question, shows it's catastrophic effects if you are a first-in-line user where the concentrations are the greatest. Horses are kept in confinement which greatly reduces variables so it is pretty hard to refute the cause of the destruction of the health of the horses in this eye opening video. Draw your own conclusions after watching...
