Have Europeans better teeth health? Where do you come up with this stuff?
It lacks minerals, so it will leech them out of your bones and body in general.

There u go, all that fluoridation of the water and all that super health services couldn't keep the USA in top 5, while Germany without fluoridation leads. So explain that. How come this miracle substance that is added in water for centuries could not keep your teeth healthy?
Maybe because all the science behind is bollocks. It is proven that drinking fluoride has no impact on teeth. If your teeth need remineralization, then your dentist will apply fluoride direct on your teeth, and that is proven to help. So I ask again, what is the purpose of the water fluoridation. Maybe the guy who does not drink fluoride in water but encourages all other people to do so can answer this.
Thats what I have, The Big Berkey with the black filters on top and the white floride grabbers below. The water tastes great. Buying water at the store in plastic bottles is not a very good option. I prefer to filter it myself, and put it into glass bottles

It's unfortunate they're adding to the water there, i don't know how these people in power are getting away with it, this was also the case in Germany during WW2. They don't add it where i am thankfully.
Berkey is all i can say!
I do remember that the germans were floridating the water in the Jewish concentration camps. They were concerned about the health of the people they were going to slaughter......

Maybe because, since 1991, Germany has decided to add fluoride to salt as it was found to be a low cost and more effective way to reach people. German authorities say their excellent oral health is due to the fluoride in salt.Salt fluoridation in Germany since 1991.
Germany, your example, proves that the science behind fluoridation is NOT bollocks and that it does impact teeth positively.

Certainly Nazis, who killed millions of Jews in the 1930s and 1940s, were known for chemical tests and inhumane medical experiments. So PolitiFact Florida had to know: Did that include adding fluoride to water?
We tracked down roots of these claims on the Web, reached out to Holocaust historians, contacted well-known critics of water fluoridation, and read book excerpts and magazine articles and news stories. And we can tell you: There's no teeth to this claim.
This fact-check won't explore the pros and cons of fluoride in your drinking water — though we will note the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls the practice one of the greatest public health achievements of the century. And also that groups of citizens, scientists among them, have been wary of the practice since the 1950s.
We'll focus instead on an Internet meme that's crept into the local public debate over drinking water — one that well-known fluoridation critics would like to see washed away.
"We have done our level best to discourage opponents of fluoridation from using this emotive argument," said Paul Connett, a chemist who directs the anti-fluoridation group Fluoride Action Network and recently co-authored a book called The Case Against Fluoride. "The historical evidence for this assertion is extremely weak. It is sad that the U.S. media has done such a bad job of educating the public on this issue that it is so easy for crazy ideas to fill the vacuum."

So where does the story come from?
Andy Hollinger, who handles media relations at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, tried not to laugh as we explained our fact-check.
"I can almost guarantee you that is indeed an urban myth," he said. "... That sounds like Conspiracy Theory 101."

That's a myth that has been confirmed as such by holocaust historian. But if you have the alleged original source for this claim, please post so I can read it. I am yet to find an original source for it, I have ever only found this Nazi/ fluoride conspiracy on fringe sites and newspaper articles that don't include any evidence.

My grandfather was born in Turkey, but left in 1910 when Turks started acting up against the Armenians, The people who stayed behind were slaughtered to the tune of 1.5 million. The Turks say thats a myth too.
Heres the bottom line: if you think a known toxin is good for you go eat it. More is better right?
Heres the myth= sodium floride has health benefits
Drinking excessive amounts can also lead to loss of sleep as people have to get up in the night to go to the toilet, and other studies show it can even cause kidney damage, instead of preventing it.
Worryingly, Dr McCartney also warns that taking on too much water can lead to a rare but potentially fatal condition called hyponatraemia, which sees the body’s salt levels drop and can lead to swelling of the brain.

Here's the snipet from The Lancet:
A meta-analysis of 27 cross-sectional studies of children exposed to fluoride in drinking water, mainly from China, suggests an average IQ decrement of about seven points in children exposed to raised fluoride concentrations
China
Raised fluoride concentrations
Hardly relevant to the US.

The study2 is a meta-analysis of 27 cross-sectional studies done in poor, rural communities in China, Mongolia, and Iran, countries where the drinking water contains high levels of naturally occurring fluoride. The 27 original studies did not adequately control for a variety of intervening and confounding variables that could have affected intelligence quotient (IQ) scores, such as parents' education and socioeconomic status and air and water pollution. It is unfortunate that Grandjean and Landrigan did not mention these limitations.
Additionally, they did not clearly state that the reference groups in their article2 use water fluoridated at about the recommended level. Thus, another interpretation of their analysis could be that communities fluoridated at the recommended level have a higher IQ.
