"When the Nazis under Hitler decided to go into Poland, both the German General Staff and the Russian General Staff exchanged scientific and military ideas, plans, and personnel, and the scheme of mass control through water medication was seized upon by the Russian Communists because it fitted ideally into their plan to communize the world. ..."
“the Nazi concentration camps used fluoridated water to suppress the will and vigor of inmates. This appears to have been during the 1930s and was the first known example of fluoridated water supplies for a specific population.”

anything could be harmful if you took large amounts. fluoride has been proven over and over again to be good for us. large doses, and i mean like swallowing 10 tubes of tooth paste would only harm you.

The issue isn't whether you've NOTICED adverse health effects. The issue is whether adverse health effects have happened.
Harvard found that fluoride lowers IQ in developing children (and probably also in adults). The study can be found here.
Now the question is: would you notice a reduction in your IQ? How could you tell if it happened when you've zero basis for comparison? Because you've been drinking fluoride your entire life, you have zero idea how smart you would/should have been had you completely abstained.
So yeah, in short, the "I never noticed any health problems" argument is a complete wash.

FLUORIDE & HEALTH
Fluoride is a highly toxic substance. Consider, for example, the poison warning that the FDA now requires on all fluoride toothpastes sold in the U.S. or the tens of millions of people throughout China and India who now suffer serious crippling bone diseases from drinking water with elevated levels of fluoride.
In terms of acute toxicity (i.e., the dose that can cause immediate toxic consequences), fluoride is more toxic than lead, but slightly less toxic than arsenic. This is why fluoride has long been used in rodenticides and pesticides to kill pests like rats and insects. It is also why accidents involving over-ingestion of fluoridated dental products–including fluoride gels, fluoride supplements, and fluoridated water–can cause serious poisoning incidents, including death.
The debate today, however, is not about fluoride’s acute toxicity, but its chronic toxicity (i.e., the dose of fluoride that if regularly consumed over an extended period of time can cause adverse effects).
Although fluoride advocates have claimed for years that the safety of fluoride in dentistry is exhaustively documented and “beyond debate,” the Chairman of the National Research Council’s (NRC) comprehensive fluoride review, Dr. John Doull, recently stated that: ”when we looked at the studies that have been done, we found that many of these questions are unsettled and we have much less information than we should, considering how long this [fluoridation] has been going on. I think that’s why fluoridation is still being challenged so many years after it began.”
In this section of the website, we provide overviews of the scientific and medical research that implicates fluoride exposure as a cause or contributor to various chronic health ailments. In 2001, the union of scientists at the Environmental Protection Agency’s Headquarters Office in Washington D.C. stated: “we hold that water fluoridation is an unreasonable risk.” The research in this section helps to demonstrate why EPA’s own scientists reached this conclusion, and why a growing number of health professionals do so as well.
The primary concerns with fluoride’s impact on human health can be summarized as follows:...............
There's a caustic substance common to our environment whose very presence turns iron into brittle rust, dramatically increases the risk of fire and explosion, and sometimes destroys the cells of the very organisms that depend on it for survival

oh wow... I have moved to the city and water is dreadful.. I can really smell the chlorine/fluorine... anyway...only today, I boiled the water and filled my glass bottles up and put it in the fridge for drinking.
only due to taste and it does taste better after it has been boiled!!
but that is good to know that boiling it will remove the poisons.

Boiling water generally kills the bacteria, it DOES NOT REMOVE minerals, endocrine mimickers and heavy metals of which at last count I think there were 756 or more different type in Toronto tap water. Letting water stand for 24 hours will generally get rid of the chlorine, but it will not get rid of the fluoride.
Boil your tap water down in a pan and take a look at the scummy muddy crap let in the bottom, that's what you're injesting, just not as concentrated ;-)

The only time that boiling water removes minerals is when it evaporates and leaves them behind and then there's no water to drink
I have a humidifier evaporator thing in my house. After about a month of being filled with regular tap water and used to humidify the air some, it had this white powdery stuff that had built up where the filter was. After cleaning it out it made my hands all swollen and red, and they got a rash. Wasn't fun.
I could never find info on what had caused it nor what the material was but whatever they're putting in the water over here is definitely not good for you. Or me. Or my hands.edit on 22-3-2014 by sephyrhoads because: (no reason given)edit on 22-3-2014 by sephyrhoads because: (no reason given)
