Fluoride is more toxic than Lead. We considered Lead too dangerous to put in paints and fuels. We willfully add Fluoride to POTABLE WATER SUPPLIES.
It goes without saying, but I'm sick of having to repeat myself, to myself, or to others that may be listening, as if I am an automaton fighting a losing battle.
Anyway.. S&F
[snip]. I'll stick to water as pure as possible, and fluoride free dental products. Every little bit helps.edit on 17-1-2012 by SyphonX because: (no reason given)edit on 17-1-2012 by Asktheanimals because: offensive language removed

I know nothing about medical sciences but upon reading the full text it is patently clear, as the sun is in the sky, that it is about the use of fluoride based pharmaceuticals in PET/CT scans.

Fluoridation is UNETHICAL because:
1) It violates the individual's right to informed consent to medication.
2) The municipality cannot control the dose of the patient.
3) The municipality cannot track each individual's response.
4) It ignores the fact that some people are more vulnerable to fluoride's toxic effects than others. Some people will suffer while others may benefit.
5) It violates the Nuremberg code for human experimentation.
As stated by the recent recipient of the Nobel Prize for Medicine (2000), Dr. Arvid Carlsson:
"I am quite convinced that water fluoridation, in a not-too-distant future, will be consigned to medical history...Water fluoridation goes against leading principles of pharmacotherapy, which is progressing from a stereotyped medication - of the type 1 tablet 3 times a day - to a much more individualized therapy as regards both dosage and selection of drugs. The addition of drugs to the drinking water means exactly the opposite of an individualized therapy."
5) No US agency has yet to respond to Luke's finding that fluoride accumulates in the human pineal gland, even though her finding was published in 1994 (abstract), 1997 (Ph. D. thesis), 1998 (paper presented at conference of the International Society for Fluoride Research), and 2001 (published in Caries Research).
And no, no link can be made from that paper. That is my whole point here. The paper make no link at all to a disease or to harm at all, apparently I cannot get you to understand that. If he made any connection from that paper then he is an idiot so no apparently he doesn't "have a better idea of things". Clearly, he doesn't know a damn thing about medicine, that is clear to anyone who does.
Fluoride uptake in vascular walls was demonstrated in 361 sites of 54 (96%) patients, whereas calcification was observed in 317 sites of 49 (88%) patients. Significant correlation between fluoride uptake and calcification was observed in most of the arterial walls, except in those of the abdominal aorta.

You may want to watch the entire movie as I believe you missed the point of the sarcasm
The General goes nuts and launches his bases nuclear bombers to provoke a war with the Soviet Union because he believes fluoridation is a communist plot that has made him impotent.
It is poking fun at people who believe fluoridation is a nefarious conspiracy.
GELLERMAN: Actually, today, fluoride can be found in virtually all processed foods in the United States….and critics include Noble Prize winning scientists, dentists and health researchers. Chris Neurath is with the Fluoride Action Network:

* Eating too much beef can damage your heart
* Not eating enough meat can be detrimental to your health
* Salt is bad for you
* Salt is good for you
So yeah, anything like reported in the OP gets a big "that's BS" from me and I then ignore it because they'll change their minds in future

So the OP making a DIRECT link to fluoride and cardiovascular disease together is frankly misleading. If there is a causative relationship that says fluoride consumption in municipal doses causes cardiovascular disease (like eating bacon every day likely in some people will, statistically) I would welcome seeing some solid data.
Let me say this again.. THE ARTICLE IN THE OP IS NOT TRUE, THE SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL ARTICLE THAT THE "AUTHOR" CLAIMS TO SOURCE MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO LINK BETWEEN FLUORIDE AND HEART DISEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NONE! NADA!!
Honestly, the ignorance in this thread is Appalling. Seriously , did you guys bother to read the paper?
The fact that the OP has over 90 stars for this piece of garbage thread makes me sad and frankly a little concerned about reading comprehension skills in America.
OP, you have ignored at least 3 people , myself included, telling you that the paper you reference makes no such connection yet you continue to use it as a scientific basis for your theory that fluoride is killing all of us. If that is what you think it says you need to read it again and and again until you understand what it is saying. It is not talking even remotely about the toxicity or disease causing properties of fluoride. Either: 1. you are ignorant of medical science and how to read a scientific paper or 2. You choose to ignore the truth and instead have decided to pawn this off to get flags and stars.
This thread is dead, its whole premise is false.....edit on 17-1-2012 by kokoro because: (no reason given)

If you'd read the thread, you would know.
It's all or nothing with some it seems...
There's no "disagrees with putting fluoride in drinking water but thinks the source in the OP is completely wrong", it's either completely on the bandwagon or it's completely off!
Of course, a huge number of Americans are already being mass medicated against their will through the water supply by the artificial addition of sodium fluoride, from which one of a myriad of debilitating health effects includes lowered IQ and increased docility. Indeed, as Joseph Borkin documented in his book The Crime and Punishment of I.G. Farben, the first occurrence of artificially fluoridated drinking water on Earth was found in Germany’s Nazi prison camps. The Nazis explained that the reason for mass-medicating water with sodium fluoride was to sterilize women and coerce the victims of their concentration camps into calm submission.

So that is your whole point huh? Well that point is based on your opinion, which seem to differ with the authors opinion, my own, as well as most people in this thread. Maybe you should ask yourself why? Let me spell it out, the link is obvious. Since you seem unable to deduce this link, let me illustrate.
First, the article clearly shows that flouride is absorbed by the arterial walls.
Fluoride uptake in vascular walls was demonstrated in 361 sites of 54 (96%) patients, whereas calcification was observed in 317 sites of 49 (88%) patients. Significant correlation between fluoride uptake and calcification was observed in most of the arterial walls, except in those of the abdominal aorta.
What does this mean? It means that arterial walls absorb flouride very well. The fact that it was directly injected into the bloodstream in this study, does NOT mean that it is an invalid study, as drinking it, and really consuming it in any way, means that it will eventually be fused into your blood stream after digestion, and the result will be the same. This flouride WILL be absorbed into your arterial wall.
Your ineptitude to see this link does not mean that no one else see it. Just think about this before your next post.

So then do you think Fluoride is harmless?
You think it is as harmless as bacon do you? Actually it seems you are trying to justify the use of it in a sense, down play it. It ever occur to you why more and more countries are banning it's use? Umm maybe because IT KILLS PEOPLE!? You are trying to tell us that poison does not kill people well.. good luck with that

The issue of water fluoridation continues to heat up as the National Kidney Foundation withdrew its support of the chemical additive at the same time the largest association of water professionals in the world was warned not to destroy evidence that may be required in legal actions filed by individuals harmed by drinking fluoridated water.

Fluoride is the #1 killer?
Some college or renowned doctor would have proven this via study by now somewhere.
I am just saying that is one hell of a claim and just sounds like bullcrap just reading it.
Someone below OP said Fluoride is more deadly than lead? Wear a tinfoil hat much?
I wouldn't put the Gov above Eugenics (just look at our history) and Fluoride has its good and bad points, but the claim of this story is so ridiculous that it's just not believable nor could ever be factual.
OP should apply their palm to their forehead quickly, making a smacking noise.
