Thread: Fluoridation? Hmm...Why?

Just one 8 oz. glass of drinking water contains the "optimum" dose of 1 PPM (equivalent to 1 milligram/liter) daily dose of fluoride which hasn't changed in over 50 years...

Quick question: Why exactly does the establishment recommend we drink 6-8 glasses of water a day, yet we should call poison control after swallowing a pea-sized amount of fluoridated toothpaste?

Fluoride Deception Part 1 (with award-winning journalist Christopher Bryson)

Part 2;Part 3

"I would advise against fluoridation.. Side-effects cannot be excluded .. In Sweden, the emphasis nowadays is to keep the environment as clean as possible with regard to pharmacologically active and, thus, potentially toxic substances."
- Dr. Arvid Carlsson, co-winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine (2000)


"The American Medical Association is NOT prepared to state that no harm will be done to any person by water fluoridation. The AMA has not carried out any research work, either long-term or short-term, regarding the possibility of any side effects."
- Dr. Flanagan, Assistant Director of Environmental Health, American Medical Association.



"I am appalled at the prospect of using water as a vehicle for drugs. Fluoride is a corrosive poison that will produce serious effects on a long range basis. Any attempt to use water this way is deplorable."
- Dr. Charles Gordon Heyd, Past President of the American Medical Association.



"E.P.A. should act immediately to protect the public, not just on the cancer data, but on the evidence of bone fractures, arthritis, mutagenicity and other effects." - Dr. William Marcus, Senior Toxicologist at E.P.A.



"Water contains a number of substances that are undesirable, and fluorides are just one of them" stated Dr. F. A. Bull, State Dental Director of Wisconsin, speaking at the Fourth Annual Conference of State Dental Directors.

Heh, at the moment, I'm on a computer with no sound, so I will watch the vids later.

Well, it's not exactly a great situation. Fluorine can eat it's way through glass, plus it is extremely toxic, all things I already know. Putting something like that into water is a bit silly, as it is extremely difficult to regulate the exact amount within the water in order to for it to be kept at safe levels. We already get enough exposure to it, so why be exposed any more to such chemicals?

Its also a waste byproduct of some large manufacturing businesses. So they lobbied the government to promote how good it is. So instead of it costing them millions(billions?) of dollars a year to safely get rid of the hazardous waste, the government actually pays them to put it into the water. A very nice deal for them.

Just shows how much the government cares for you.

tell me, does bottled water have fluoride in it?

does the toothpaste we use, if we spit the stuff out, does the fluoride in it get into your body if not ingested?

is there any non fluoride toothpaste? or water, or food?

i drink organic milk and bottled water, no tap, no soda at all, no juices

am i good? i eat organic also

we get water fresh from a private spring

Oh, and I gargle flouride rinse

Courtesy of the fertilizer industry...

What better way to dispose of industrial waste then to get paid by the government to put it in drinking water?

Two birds, with one stone...

Overpopulation and sustainability problem? Check!
Easy no fuss disposal of industrial waste? Check!

I was only there to perform a social experiment by seeing how receptive the people there were to my thoughts. And, in response I was met with such blind paranoia and angry fervor. Also, as you may have noticed, I was banned by one of the mods just for speaking my mind about the level of their blind paranoia, and blind belief of Alex Jones' paranoid spew. Listening to Alex Jones is just a form of paranoid idol worship. At that time, I was actually being civil and not name-calling like over half the regulars on there were doing to me. One of them even thought I was 34th degree Illuminati... or a MKULTRA mind-controlled psy-op puppet of the government... LOL! WTF? It just goes to show where all the paranoia and fear stem from. One's self and no where else. As I said here and on Prison Planet... We pull our own strings and play into our own hands.

The hypocrites so passionately speak of and fear TPTB limiting their free speech, but then, they turn around and do the exact same thing they claim to hate. Irony at it's finest.

I don't know the actual truth behind this fluoride thing. However, I do know there are enough articles floating around on both sides of the coin to warrant being more than just a little weary or cautious about it. At the very least, one should healthily err on the side of caution enough to avoid purposefully ingesting it whenever possible.

couldn't agree more solskye. That's why I always read both the conspiray theory and the skeptics. The more i read the less paranoid i become!!!

I do agree tap water is not for human consumption for many reasons other than just fluoride, but studies support the safety of fluoride when used in toothpastes and by dentists, not enough is consumed to cause toxicity when used as directed.
