What a load of baloney. Do you even know what fluoride is? Fluoride is a fluorine atom combined with another element.
Also do you know exactly what type of fluorde is added? the fluoride used is no different from what you find naturally in water. The vast majority of fluoridation plants in the UK and America use hexafluorosilicic acid, which is a liquid, as the fluoridating agent.
Fluoride is found in a solid form in minerals such as fluorspar, cryolite and apatite Fluorspar (also called
fluorite) and is found in most parts of the world. It is a mineral containing between 30 to 98 percent calcium fluoride. Cryolite is a compound of aluminium, sodium, and fluoride. Because of its low melting point, it is preferred for industrial use, but is not a major source of fluoride for water fluoridation. Apatite is a deposit of a mixture of calcium compounds, including calcium phosphates, calcium fluorides, and calcium carbonates. Apatite contains between 3 to 7 percent fluoride and is the main source of fluorides used in water fluoridation.
To obtain hexafluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6):
• The fluoride-containing rock is ground up and treated with sulphuric acid producing hydrofluoric acid gas (HF);
• The HF gas then begins a purification process involving washing, cooling, condensation, and finally distillation (rectification);
• The HF is then reacted with silica to produce hexafluorosilicic acid with a concentration of 37 to 42 per cent. By neutralising hexafluorosilicic acid with sodium carbonate and precipitating the solid matter, manufacturers can readily convert liquid hexafluorosilicic acid into the powder disodium hexafluorosilicate (Na2SiF6).
In the UK the water companies are only allowed to use
Hexafluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6) also known as fluorosilicic acid
and Disodium hexafluorosilicate (Na2SiF6) also known as sodium fluorosilicate.
Heres a uptodate link www.bfsweb.org...
Where it is true other types of fluoride are bad for your health like aluminium fluoride and sodium fluoride(this fluoride is used by some countires) but these are not added to the water supply in the UK and america. I cant say for other countries as i havent researched those.
Also the pineal gland study dosent show fluoride is bad for you. What it does show how is how the western diet is seriously lacking a very important element called Iodineedit on 23-10-2011 by Aletheia007 because: (no reason given)

Yay, another fluoride thread. Another opportunity for clowns to spread that ignorance around.
You're an MD? Yeah, right. Traditional Chinese medicine, that explains it. Please, expound away.
Bet you all didn't know that oceans give off hydrogen fluoride and that people living on the coasts breathe in fluoride constantly. Didn't think so.
Fluorides are practically everywhere in nature. They've been around as long as the planet has. Still waiting for the anti-fluoridationists to tell everyone how they manage to shield themselves from the so-called effects, while everyone else is "dumbed-down." Perhaps it is the tin foil hats?
Can't wait for some clown to come in and say the Nazis used it. LOL

maybe you can actually write it down for me in your own words so i can see If you understand what fluoride is?

I'll simply add what's being applied/ mixed to tap water is industrial byproduct - aluminium fluoride and sodium fluoride (imported from China). Your claim it doesn't end up here is just that... A personal claim lacking any validity. Moreover, hexafluorosilicic acid and sodium silicofluoride are listed as highly toxic/ hazardous waste. If you haven't heard the term bio-accumulation aside from mention in the OP, I recommend you take some time to research further.
I would cite HFCS tainted with mercury found in 55 known household products (including cereal bars and ketchup) as another type of industrial byproduct.

aluminium fluoride and sodium fluoride really? those are not added to my water supply and and i doubt American water suppliers are using those as they use hexafluorosilicic acid and sodium silicofluoride. Speaking of which yes they are highly toxic when in concentrated form which is how they are packaged and stored. Just because it is toxic in higher doses or more concentrated dosent mean its harmful to the body when its been diluted. They are a lot of minerals the body needs that can be toxic when concentrated. iron, zinc, chromium and selenium are but just a few that can be detrimental to your health if you have more than what the body needs.

You're too predictable... Granted, I set a decent debate trap.

I get to finalize my answer with another common sense question for you. Does the powdered bag of fluoride (mixture) in the aforementioned video appear to be liquid to you? I have my doubts, but you do seem smarter than limited observation.

LOL tell me do you have a problem with selective reading? reading parts thatb falls into your conspiracy ideas whilst totally ignoring the rest lol I already answered your question here it is again just in case you had that selective reading syndrome
