Some good points there, I want to add to the Fluoride to help fight cavities.
Well I have a 2month old and the mother was breast feeding, well since she was breast feeding, the doc proscribed a multi vitamin. When picked up at the pharmacy right on the box it says “WITH FLUORIDE” wtf is what I thought, and as most of us believe its for your teeth, but a baby don’t have teeth!
I said I needed to look this up to see what all this really is about. Get informed here!
Just sharing this with you guys/girls.
"It's obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual, and certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works."
Bill Etherington MP calls fluoride "poison". Nazis supposedly used it to subdue people in concentration camps. According to a former Guardian alternative health columnist, fluoride is "in the same league as lead and arsenic".
The reality is that anyone making any confident statement on fluoride speaks way beyond the evidence. In 1999 the Department of Health commissioned the centre for reviews and dissemination at York University to do a systematic review of fluoridation and its effects on dental health. Little new work has been done since. In the review, 3,200 research papers, mostly of very poor quality, were unearthed. The ones that met the minimum quality threshold suggested there was vaguely, possibly, around a 15% increase in the number of children without dental caries in areas with fluoridated water, but the studies generally couldn't exclude other explanations for the variance. Of course, the big idea with fluoride in water is that it can reduce social inequalities in dental health since everyone drinks it. But there isn't much evidence on that either.
Is fluoride really that dangerous to consume?
Yes I understand its a neuro-toxin
it calcifies the pineal gland
said to pacify and make people more docile
Why the heck is it in our water in the first place?

The only people that say this are anti-science fluoride people, they also forget to source the claim / study but attribute it to Nazi's using it the concentration camps.

Anything is safe is proper dosages, fluoride is more than safe in the current concentrations.
Thank you for contacting me to express your views on ending fluoridation of United States public water supplies. I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue.
As a mother and a grandmother, I am concerned about the health of our nation's families and especially our children. The practice of fluoridation is supported by the medical and public health communities including the American Dental Association, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the World Health Organization. It is considered a safe, effective and equitable way to provide dental health protection community-wide. While the National Research Council's 2006 report on fluoridation did determine that the Environmental Protection Agency's water standards for fluoridation should be lowered, the considerable scientific uncertainty surrounding this issue makes reaching a conclusion difficult. Since the decision to fluoridate public water supplies is made by state or local governments and is not mandated by any federal agency, Congress has not been at the forefront of this issue. I agree that this is an important issue. Please be assured that I will keep your comments in mind should any legislation regarding fluoridation come before the full House of Representatives.

Fluoride will not effect your brain. If you were to drink fluoridated water in hopes of proving that you will have some sort of neurological damage, you would die from the amount of water first.
it calcifies the pineal gland
You don't have superman vision through your non existent third eye.

Helps build healthy teeth
Aaaaaaaand countdown until I get assaulted by an ungodly amount of people that don't like fluoride in 3 2 1....
