The is analagous to someone giving a child an entire bottle of aspirin and then saying we should ban aspirin because it killed him.
As I said earlier, everything is toxic at high enough doses, even water, do you want to ban water?
It is quite obvious that fluoride ISN'T safe at ALL.
In the rest of your diatribe you completely forgot to mention that there are 3700 studies done since 1970 that show fluoride is safe.
THAT study actually shows how sodium fluoride is neurotoxic...
Well, yes and no, I should have deleted that one, however, that still leaves you with around 280 in that one list alone you've ignored. Also, as we've learned over the years (can you say "ALAR", toxicity in rats does not necessarily apply to humans). Anyway, there are some problems with that study.
In addition, the experiment also studied the offspring of rats who were injected two to three times a day with fluoride during their pregnancies in an effort to show that prenatal exposure resulted in hyperactivity in male offspring.
However, two scientists who reviewed the 1995 study188 have suggested that the observations made can be readily explained by mechanisms that do not involve neurotoxicity. The scientists found inadequacies in experimental design that may have led to invalid conclusions. For example, the results of the experiment were not confirmed by the use of control groups which are an essential feature of test validation and experimental design. In summary the scientists stated, "We do not believe the study by Mullenix et al. can be interpreted in any way as indicating the potential for NaF (sodium fluoride) to be a neurotoxicant." Another reviewer104 noted, "...it seems more likely that the unusually high brain fluoride concentrations reported in Mullenix et al. were the result of some analytical error."
So, like I said, that leaves 280 or so studies you've yet to discount.
And that still leaves 3500 studies yet to go.
Aspirin is a medicine Tom. It is administered ONLY when needed, and then ONLY in measured doses. They don't pump it into the water supply, they don't spray it on vegetables, and they don't put it in toothpaste.
As I said earlier, everything is toxic at high enough doses, even water, do you want to ban water?
Fluoride has cululative toxic effects as well as short term toxicity. It is a poison, with no nutritional value whatsover. It destroys and/or inhibits vital cellular functions. Water is needed for life. There's a bit of a difference between the two..
You can jump around this issue all you want, you can't change the facts. Why is it SO important to you that we continually expose ourselves and our children to this horrendous poison?
