Not to worry. I suspect that the OP is preparing to slink off into the night. Notice the "good sport" moniker? That's a clue.
Typical response from someone who is at a loss for words. Better to keep silent...You know the rest

"We would not purposely add arsenic to the water supply. And we would not purposely add lead. But we add fluoride. The fact is that fluoride is more toxic than lead and just slightly less toxic than arsenic."
"The federal maximum contaminant level (MEL) for lead is 15 parts per billion (ppb), 5 ppb for arsenic and 4000 ppb for fluoride."
Most of western Europe has rejected fluoridation on the grounds that it is unsafe. In 1971, after 11 years of testing, Sweden's Nobel Medical Institute recommended against fluoridation, and the process was banned. The Netherlands outlawed the practice in 1976, after 23 years of tests. France decided against it after consulting with its Pasteur Institute and West Germany, now Germany, rejected the practice because the recommended dosage of 1 ppm was "too close to the dose at which long-term damage to the human body is to be expected." Dr. Lee sums it up: "All of western Europe, except one or two test towns in Spain, has abandoned fluoride as a public health plan. It is not put in the water anywhere. They all established test cities and found that the benefits did not occur and the toxicity was evident."

I guess I missed it. Do you plan on adding anything relevant to the discussion? Because if not then I'm going to go watch the end of the soccer game.

... the ONLY form of flouride that is SAFE is CALCIUM FLOURIDE ... again THE only form of flouride that is SAFE is Calcium fluride(CAF2) Parrot talk Parrot talk..

Oh really?? Tell that to all the poor folks in the world whose legs looks like spaghetti noodles or whose teeth are rotted black stumps because of all the "safe" calcium fluoride in their groundwater.

I hope you know that you just quoted thefreepatriot. He's on your side.
This is really becoming farcical now.

After surveying the growing evidence, a high-profile advocate has second thoughts about the safety of fluoride
By Michael Downey, Special to The Toronto Star, April 25, 1999
...Dr. Hardy Limeback is a leading Canadian fluoride authority who is often cited by health officials in their defense of fluoridated water. He is also a long-standing consultant to the Canadian Dental Association and a professor of dentistry at the University of Toronto.
But in an interview last week, he conceded that fluoride may be destroying our bones, our teeth and our overall health. Although he still believes fluoride in toothpaste is effective against tooth decay, he says it doesn't need to be added to our water and we may be taking unnecessary risks by doing so.
"There is no point swallowing fluoridated water. The only benefit comes with direct contact with the teeth."
Limeback is currently studying fluoride buildup in the body, and his results, like those of other studies, are worrisome.
[snip]
Contrary to popular belief, there is no proof that fluoride fights cavities. In the U.S., the government recently ordered toothpaste manufacturers to stop claiming it does until they could prove it. None bothered to try.
Studies have shown that children in B.C., where most water is not fluoridated, have better teeth than children here, where it is.
And while it's true there's no absolute proof that fluoride, at established levels, isn't safe, there is also no proof, as Limeback points out, that it is.
Absolute proof may be hard to come by, but the evidence is abundant and compelling.
A U.S. congressional subcommittee announced after hearings in 1977 that it could no longer assure the public that fluoride doesn't cause cancer; later tests, which it ordered, showed a link to bone and liver cancer.
The U.S. National Research Council reported that fluoride is dangerous to health and that "reductions in fluoride in drinking water would be easier to administer, monitor and evaluate" than reductions in foods, beverages and dental products.
A half dozen studies in the Journal of the American Medical Association show more hip fractures in fluoridated areas - up to 300 per cent more, according to one report.
Appearing on a recent Canadian television show, a former scientist with the Environmental Protection Agency called fluoridation "the biggest fraud of the century."

Dude, just go back to your game, you're acting pretty juvenile for a 40-something. You've become irrelevant on your own thread.

I trade the forex markets. I apologise if I have been a bit of an ass, I can just see the cancer rates state by state and compare it to the rate of flouridation... and it really upsets me. People are dying because of this, the stats clearly show this trend. Check out the CDC stats on cancer rates state by state and compare to the state rank on % of water flouridation.. Tell me what you think of it.
How do you know it was without people's consent? Do you know what decision process was taken 50 years ago when fluoridation started? Don't you think there was at least a city council vote or even a referendum? I admit I do not know the specifics of that aspect.
I am against the conspiracy angle of fluoridation. I don't believe it is added to control us.
