First off, cite the particular study that you are referring to.
There may be some valid research mixed in, but if you're trying to sell us something, which you are, you'd do better not to mix in crackpot sources and flawed studies (that Finnish study is flawed at worst, and highly inconclusive with a need for followup and replication at best) and try to pass the whole kit-and-kaboodle as legitimate science that is conclusive.
You STILL haven't answered my question as to WHO exactly in post #43 that you are referring to as "crackpots".
Might it be the Journal of the American Medical Association, could it be the United States Public Health Service, maybe Dr. Ludgwig Grosse, Chief of Cancer Research, U.S. Veterans Administration, or could it be Research Microbiologist, U.S. Army, Dr. B. J. Gallo, Environmental Chemist, J. Kupperschmidt Apollo Program Project Scientist, Dr. N.R. Mancuso, U.S. Army Natick Research Labs, A. Murray, Molecular Biologist, Dr. Strauss?
Maybe it's Dr. Charles Gordon Heyd, Past President of the American Medical Association, or Dr. Professor Albert Schatz, (Microbiology), co-discoverer of Streptomycin, the cure for tuberculosis and numerous other bacterial infections?
Might it be Dr. Charles Gordon Heyd, Past President of the American Medical Association, or Dr. Phyllis Mullenix, Children's Hospital, Boston?
Could it be Dr. William Marcus, Senior Toxicologist at E.P.A?
Or maybe it's the Centers for Disease Control, or perhaps Harold Slavkin, Director of National Institute of Dental Research?
WHO exactly do you think is wrong?

I have no idea what the heck you are talking about. The reference that you acknowledged that you were talking about is in fact an AMERICAN study. Are you confused?
Fluoride in drinking water increases the risk of hip fractures in women, according to an October 1999 American Journal of Epidemiology study.
Thirdly, you have an agenda, and you are feeding us sources from websites that also have an agenda, who, like everyone else with an agenda, selectively pick and choose those sources and studies which support that agenda, without giving us any access to sources that do not support that agenda, and you expect everyone to just accept it without question?
No, YOU have an agenda. It is squashing the truth. My agenda, if you can call it that, is stopping that which harms the American people. Why do you find fault with that?
You have given NO facts, you ignore the FACTS, and it is YOU that has an agenda. And I might add, an agenda that is HOSTILE to the American People.
This is Free Republic for crying out loud. It's like you're asking us to accept the Village Voice as an unbiased, objective news source with no political agenda, interested in giving us only the facts.
You are either delirious, misinformed, or you HAVE an agenda.
