'''Water fluoridation''' is the practice of putting [[fluorine]] compounds in drinking water with the intention of helping to prevent [[tooth decay]].

While water fluoridation has been shown to not be related to Communism, several recent studies have pointed to water fluoridation playing a role in shaping sexual identity and morality. Specifically, fluoridated water could possible "make children gay or at least more sympathetic to the homosexual agenda," says Dr. Thomas Hanjerker of the Family Research Institute. Some Christian families drink bottled water only for this purpose.
