Rat poison.

Doesn’t it basically destroy a persons thyroid also?

The tinfoil hats got it right again...

The potential harmful effects of fluoride are a whole lot worse than a little dental fluorosis. Excessive fluoride can have the same effects as lead.

There is some thought that fluoride was pushed on the unsuspecting public as a means of getting rid of the fluoride that is produced as a by-product of aluminum smelting. That sounds a little preposterous, but then again....

There’s another one of those ideas of mine that turned out to be on the right track. I’ve been removing the fluoride from my drinking water for 2 years now and I haven’t used fluoridated toothpaste for almost 6.

For those interested in investigating an alternative to conventional fluoridated toothpaste and their grossly overpriced ‘natural’ equivalents, I invite you to make the following formula yourself (learned about it from Saveyourteeth.com, a site run by a DDS):

3 parts baking soda
1 part salt (sea salt if possible; go for the unrefined kind)

Pour a bit of the stuff in the palm of your hand and mix in just enough hydrogen peroxide so that you make a sort of ‘paste’. It won’t taste very good compared to conventional toothpaste, but it’s dirt cheap and does an amazing job.

I use this formula, along with a Waterpik, every day and my very pro-fluoride dentist has said on multiple occasions, I quote, “I don’t know what you’re doing, but keep it up!”

I still haven’t told him what I’m doing. Why spoil a good thing?

So the EPA is really run by Birchers now?

There was a study a year or two ago that said that the military having all kids swish fluoride had actually destroyed lots of people’s teeth as they got older. Seems to have effected me at least somewhat.

The history of fluoride is probably one of the greatest crimes pulled on the American people. Dating back to the Donora fog:

Researchers analyzing the event have focused likely blame on pollutants from the zinc plant, whose emissions had killed almost all vegetation within a half-mile radius of the plant.[1] Dr. Devra L. Davis, director of the Center for Environmental Oncology at the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, has pointed to autopsy results showing fluorine levels in victims in the lethal range, as much as 20 times higher than normal. Fluorine gas generated in the zinc smelting process became trapped by the stagnant air and was the primary cause of the deaths.[2]

Fluorine was required for our nuclear bomb development in WWII as well as the post war arms race. After the inversion of 1948, fluorine exposure could no longer be forgiven as an unknown. ALCOA was the biggest culprit in the coverup (of course with the help of the government and experts at Carnegie Institute), but coverup the dangers was exactly what they did. Worse was the mountains of waste fluoride left over around the plant.

Oh what to do, what to do? Got it! Let us claim from junk science that fluoride stops tooth decay! Wait....topical....Oh yea! We will put it in the water and people can drink it! All we have to do is sell it to federal, state and local governments. Now the mountains of waste fluoride near our tracks can be put on rail cars to water plants all over the country. Even better! We can charge the water companies for our waste product! Genius!!!

Only one problem. Fluoride is a neurotoxin.

It’s also a rat poison

[tophat9000]

So funny it use to be back in the early 60 it was considered prove that Conservatives were crazy because they opposed the government putting fluoride in the water

[Mr. Mojo]

growing evidence supporting the chemical’s possible deleterious effects to children’s health.

Adults' health too. Bodily fluid degradation, to be precise. General Ripper was right. He was also right about the communist infiltration.

[Gaffer]

Because it is not halal?

Flouride is what’s known as a toxic halide (as is chlorine). It mimics iodine in your system, which is a needed mineral, and blocks absorption of it. I content that this is one big reason obesity is climbing so rapidly. Iodine is the mineral that makes the thyroid function. The thyroid regulates metabolism.

People need to take iodine supplements (iodoral or lugol’s) to flush out flouride and chlorine off the iodine receptors.

[RayChuang88]

We no longer need so much fluoride in water because practically all modern toothpaste has fluoride as part of the ingredient list.

[fhayek]

An here I thought that the science was settled on this.

[Anti-Bubba182]

So it was a Commie plot after all!!!

I am a dental hygienist. I live in a county that is not fluoridated. The dentists would prescribe fluoride pills and we would apply topical fluoride in the office. The county next to ours is fluoridated. Fluoridated water tastes horrible. Pittsburgh is in this county. In the 1960’s, Pittsburgh started fluoridating the water. Before that, the University of Pittsburgh Dental School was packed with kids who had rotting teeth. Fluoride DOES work. But I believe that people today are over-fluoridated. The “optimum level” of fluoride in the water was considered 1 part per million (ppm). They put less in the water in the summer, because they believe you are drinking more water. From my experience, kids today don’t drink very much tap water. I believe that they are overingesting the flouride from their toothpaste or anti-cavity mouthwash.
Our former governor in PA, Ed Rendell, signed a law stating that any community in PA with more than 500 households must have a fluoridated public water supply. This hasn’t been implemented yet.
I haven’t heard anyone mention Xylitol on this tread. It is very good at inhibiting plaque bacteria and preventing tooth decay. It is often used as a sweetener in sugarless gum.
