Should sodium fluoride continue to be added to our water supply?

[flybeech]

The Federal government tell us that unless we add the "optimal" dose of sodium fluoride to the water we drink, our teeth will rot out, but there appears to be the possibility that systemic fluoride carries a risk to the nervous system, reduces the IQ of children, causes bone and joint disorders, calcifies the pineal gland in the brain, increases Alzheimer disease and other serious health effects.

Back in the day, aluminum, fertilizer and phosphate producers had a serious problem with lawsuits involved with the disposal of this highly toxic waste product, so they were ultimately able to sell sodium fluoride to cities for fluoridation programs and get rid of their waste by transforming it in to what is now considered by most to be a miracle of modern dentistry and a darn good active ingredient in rat poison to boot. City leaders will not discuss the removal of sodium fluoride from the water and dismiss recent science that demonstrates the dangers of fluoride to the nervous system, brain and other parts of the body.

Is the safety of fluoridated water assured and we are always given the "optimal dose" of fluoride, regardless if we work in a climate-controlled office setting, or work on the roof under the hottest Oklahoma sun? Should public water always be amended with fluoride, since the science is fully settled and fluoride has been proven to be perfectly harmless, or is there merit to reopening the fluoride debate?

Where's my tinfoil

we drink purified water. my water guy says his filter system removes the fluoride. we do use municipal water for all other normal uses except oral consumption.

tin foil? no, our water smells and tastes bad and has flunked government standards a lot lately. removal of fluoride is an added plus. fluoride is good for your teeth but you're not supposed to ingest it. read the toothpaste.

Norman water has naturally high levels of chromium and arsenic, I got bigger problems to worry about than something that has at least some positive effects.

I remember in the 60's when pictures of rotted teeth were put in news papers, and it was attributed to flouride added to the water system.

I remember in the 70's when pictures of rotted teeth were put in news papers,

I remember the same in the 80's.

Saw it on the internet in the 90's.

Here we go again, but now its contributed to other massive health problems.

Every Dentist, and the WHO, plus our own Surgeon Generals office says it helps dental hygine. Its in 90% of toothpaste.


Oh crap....they must be the new world order!

We need to mobilize, gather food, hoard ammo, and prepp for the end of the world!!

No it shouldn't be.

If it will end the Jersey Shore, then it should be removed.

A definite product of fluoride.

And what does the toothpaste warning label say?: hint do not swallow!

I grew up on well water and have never had a cavity and I am pushing 40. I will keep my guns and they can keep the poison. Maybe it works topically to teeth but it has no business being ingested.
