Fluoridation

Are you worried about this?

It has been started in my area, which, having read about it,
I am not happy about.

Read about it here

Apparently, oral contraceptives have an effect, too.

It's all kind of depressing, you know?

I only use non-fluoridated toothpaste, although those are
hard to come by. Luckily they haven't implemented national
(or even regional) fluoridation in the water supply in this
country since the early 90's, at least to my knowledge.

Nobody should support fluoridation, it's madness. Most
people are ill informed about it, which doesn't surprise me
but neither does it make the facts go away. What little
benefit it may have for dental care is a joke. It is a
powerful toxin, don't eat it / drink it.

You seem to know your stuff! :)

WOuld I be able to filter it out with a Brita water filter,
do you think?

Please say yes!

I have no idea :D

it's probably (mwahahaa) not going to kill you, but you
should raise hell about it to municipal government, and/or
use bottled water although those are sometimes fluoridated
as well.

on a lighter note, this reminds me of that wonderful scene
from Dr. Strangelove:

precious bodily fluids

too bad the issue itself is nothing to laugh at...

I am dowloading that film at the mo'! I tried to watch it
recently, but it hadn't finished downloading, so it didn't
work. :)

Sometimes the best way to deal with something is to laugh at
it. "better to laugh than to cry..."

reverse osmosiss or something? or distill .

its so stupid they do it to kill us off. if i want to
clean my teeth i'll clean my freaking teeth with toothpaste
, thanks.

its like .. adding toilet paper to our food for people that
cant be bothered to wipe. ( in a cartoon world example
thingy)

also mercury in tooth fillings. yes mercury in tooth
fillings !

its just beyond insane,

As you said Bob, they still put Flouride in toothpaste,
though...

Freqs, you're right, the govt does not care about keeping
people alive. Obviously people don't care enough to stop the
govt, either.

Sad world we live in. :(

amalgam filling silver/black in colour. you can still get
em for the rear teeth.
its very dangerous to remove them and expensive and painful
:) they all leak
into your bodies and give us nerve disorders etc.

after 65 we should all drop dead it seems.

but I don't think "they" are trying to kill the population
or even make us stupid and docile (no matter what Alex Jones
says)... they're probably just relying on some bad science
and the lobbying influence of pro-fluoridation groups.

read this from bbc>

Consider the facts: the ovens in crematoria operate at
temperatures of up to 1100C and burn for 75 minutes per
corpse. In the process they consume around 285
kilowatt-hours of gas and 15kWh of electricity. That’s
pretty much the same amount of energy as an average person
would use at home in a month.

And CO2 isn’t the only pollution issue. A sixth of all UK
mercury emissions are from the fillings that go up in smoke
along with the corpses of our loved ones. That mercury
contaminates the air, the water, the soil and thereby all of
us and exposure to mercury has been linked with all sorts of
unpleasant illnesses including birth defects, kidney disease
and multiple sclerosis.

did you know the guy from fsol nearly died because his
filling was leaking mercury. right at deaths doors. they
took it out he's o.k now.

I didn't say govt. is trying to kill us, just they don't
care about keeping people alive.

And who are you quoting "they" from? 'cos it isn't me.

I'm not, quote unquote, "quoting" anyone, and I'm certainly
not quoting "you". I just put scare quotes around...
*cough*... "them", because that's how Alex Jones talks
about... them.

freqy! no!! the guy from fsol nearly died?? you break my

well luckily he survived! :)

Tractern - Your Brita filter will not rid you of fluoride.
The only methods of reliably removing fluoride from
municipal water are through reverse osmosis or distillation.


And yes, your governments are knowingly poisoning you. The
fluoride compound introduced to tap water isn't the
naturally occurring compound, but a cocktail of chemicals
comprised chiefly of hydrofluorosilicic acid/sodium
fluoride, and happens to be a waste byproduct of the
aluminium and fertiliser industries, which, if not sold to
governments at terrific mark-ups as medicine, would
necessitate a costly disposal. You call this bad science?
The effects of fluoride on human biochemistry have been
known for ages. No, this is sound science, applied
malevolently.

governments are not that clever. Show me the person who is
malevolent here, instead of just stupid or greedy. I don't
think governments know that they are poisoning their
population. There is no cabal out to get you. The bad
science tells us that fluoride, in small concentrations,
prevents tooth decay. Which it does. It's undeniable. But so
does brushing your teeth with non-fluoridated toothpaste.
Bad science called it a miracle cure. Those idiots really
believed it. The entire health industry was indoctrinated
into this belief, starting from doctors and nurses all the
way down to school teachers and parents. Luckily many
governments wisened up in the 90s and ended this practice
around Europe.

It's a slightly different thing with MSG and aspartame,
where a combination of greed and mismarketing has given us
this scourge, purely out of a need for cheap and (in the
case of MSG) addictive additives, no matter how dangerous
they are.

Fluoride compounds will not prevent tooth decay in small
concentrations, but chronic exposure can lead to an
unsightly condition known as fluorosis, among other
decidedly more detrimental ailments. And the only science
that purported to make such a claim, that fluoride can
prevent decay, dealt with strictly topical application, and
made use of calcium fluoride or other naturally-occurring or
pharmaceutical-grade variants, not industrial waste
recovered from smokestack scrubbers, which includes radium,
lead, and arsenic to name a few contaminants. There are no
studies which suggest drinking the substance will reduce the
incidence of dental caries.

I personally don't advise distillation, as there are quite a
few nasty chemicals with boiling points lower than that of
water which will wind up in the effluent. You're better off
with a multi-stage RO unit, however this method will
indiscriminately strip the water of its natural mineral
content along with the contaminants, and for this reason I'd
suggest using it for cooking and occasional drinking. For
everyday drinking, try to find a local supplier of spring or
artesian water that bottles in glass.

Well, be that as it may, I see no problem in accepting that
something that is dangerous in some respect can have other
effects that are more positive, or seen as such. Especially
something that is dangerous in high doses (fluorosis) can be
beneficial in lower doses (tooth enamel fortification). On
the whole, however, I think its positive effects are
overstated. I have even seen it said that "we all need
fluoride to live"! We don't need it to live, and we don't
need it to prevent caries. People are seriously
misinformed.

Essentially how fluoride works in moderate doses is to
create an extra layer of protection - like a kind of fusion
of elements, a mesh or a grid of thick stuff that forms the
outer layer of the tooth - which in turn prevents tooth
decay. I think this is bullshit, it's an invasive procedure
that we don't need. It's like adding cement to your wounds
because you want the bleeding to stop. It's typically 20th
century technocratic bullshit solution.

But in Colorado and in many other parts where natural
fluoride concentrations in the water are above average, the
early studies linked the positive effects of fluoride with
stronger teeth. There is no denying these studies exist.

why would the government bother? wouldn't it cost less to
put no poisons in the water?
fuck the science. people eat and drink lots of things that
are supposed to be terribly bad for them, they can die at 20
or 80. when it's your time it's your time. it would just be
a shame if you wasted it on filtering water everyday.

Mind control, yo! I've heard that the true reason it is
there is to keep the masses complacent. Maybe a rumor.

Isn't Prozac some sort of fluorinated molecule?

Also, I've read that the water fluoridation process was
invented by the Nazis.

i don't think we should collectively do anything, until
everyone agrees on the motivations, the means, and the
goal.

also, all governments will be required to include a money
back guarantee if you are not completely satisfied.
