Israel Bans Water Fluoridation

Smart. Fluoride is a toxic chemical which reeks havoc on the brain. I’m off fluoride.

[Liberty Valance]

But ...

[GunRunner]

Next up, banning GMO’s and endorsing homeopathy.

[cripplecreek]

Its a pointless waste of money anyway.

[AppyPappy]

I was killed as a small child by fluoridated water.

[driftdiver]

Well heck why not just put cyanide in the water.

[driftdiver]

Brush your teeth and you get all the fluoride you need, without ingesting any. It even comes in fruity flavors!

[bert]

I’m sorry to hear that but when you died did you have sound teeth?

I’ve read that fluoride makes the brain store certain types of metals within it. And that in autopsies of Alzheimer sufferers they were found to have certain types of metals in their brain.

Here in Houston they are starting to use chloramine instead of chlorine to treat the water. I’ve read up about it and I’m 100% against it.

[GunRunner]

Weel, there's already trace amounts of arsenic, so I'm sure we're all going to die soon from overfluoridation and arsenic poisoning.

Of all the things to worry about. Some people have too much time on their hands.

[Buggman]

Unfortunately, everything about the Lancet study beyond the abstract is hidden behind a hefty paywall, so there's no way to see methodology, etc. However, the Harvard study that the article is citing basically said, "Look, we had to use Chinese studies because we've never done a comprehensive study on this subject in the West, and they have so much junk in their water there's no way to isolate the flouride's effect." So claiming that the Harvard study supports their thesis against flouridation is just a tad disingenous.

Having said that, I'd be fine if we dropped flouridation from our water tomorrow. There are plenty of avenues to use it dentally without risking ingestion. Just my two cents.

[driftdiver]

Exactly, so why keep adding it and spending money we don’t need to spend.

[petercooper]

It’s a byproduct of aluminum mfg and fertilizer mfg. Get a good water filter. Birkeys are great. Get a filter for shower to remove chlorine. Bad stuff. Look on YouTube for fluoride deception/lies vids.

[driftdiver]

I put a whole house charcoal filter in and we only use RO water for cooking, drinking.

[petercooper]

Good. Iodine and magnesium will help remove heavy metals from the body.

[miliantnutcase]

I need to get a Berkey. We get our water from the aquifer, but it’s full of heavy metals/iron along with city added fluoride.

[petercooper]

Water tastes delicious. The fluoride filter is separate on that one. Worth the money.

[miliantnutcase]

I bought some nascent iodine just for the hell of it, and my concentration at work has significantly improved. It felt like body went through a detox phase for a few days.
