Flouride is too toxic to be dumped.... so they dump it into the water.... so that everyone can drink it?

Do you see how illogical this statement is?

Does it trouble you that you are worried about these things without checking up on a single fact?

Take the fluoride example. These might seem like technical details but they are real, true facts, and upon these details rests the entire matter:

Fluoride is a weak base, not an acid. It has a PH of about 10. Acids have a PH below 7, bases go above 7.

Fluoride is NOT the sum of two chemicals. It is an anion of Fluorine, which is an ELEMENT. Elements are, well, elementary. They are made up of themselves and nothing else. Other elements you may have heard of are hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, etc. "Anion" means it has an extra electron giving it a negative charge.

Fluoride is a nutrient required by humans for healthy bones and teeth. In small amounts it is absorbed into the bones and prevents dental cavities.

Fluorine compounds are naturally accumulated in several plants, especially in green tea. People who drink green tea every day get a higher dose of fluorine than from their drinking water.

If you ingest fluorine every day in very large amounts, the fluorine can crystalize in your bones causing skeletal pain. This condition has been observed in people who drink about a gallon of tea every day, for years. When they stop drinking tea the fluoride crystals eventually are filtered out and they get better.


You said "all these other chemicals are probably just as harmful" as fluoride. You are free to continue believing this, or you can do some research. Or just read wikipedia, for pete's sake. Otherwise you can just repeat what your alarmist health blogs and conspiracy sites are telling you, and you might go to your grave as a stupid, impressionable, stubborn idiot.

There are plenty of chemicals out there you should be worried about (plastic micro-particles making it into our seafood, anyone?). Wasting energy on imaginary evils like fluoride and flu vaccines is just running in the wrong direction.
