Adam you never explained how a multitude of nobel prize winning doctors of medicine and the like think there is more than enough concern to warrant further study before we blindly fluoridate water...
Do you consider yourself more informed than those professionals speaking out about it? I would like to think not.
Obviously, you clearly polarized yourself in camp of not showing concern. That's your prerogative but don't spout your side as having more experience and knowledge to label those that show concern as ignorant to the science or studies behind it. That rash assumption in itself is ignorant to make. If a professional of the industry is going to say there is something worth showing concern, I'd rather take their word on it than some random internet persona with an ego who studies chemistry in school...
Appeals to authority exhibits A-Z...
"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.
