I think if you read the last several posts, you will come acorss a term called Calcification. Read, then try to debunk, it works better than way.
Contrary to previous reports, magnesium was not required in order to show inhibition. It was also shown for the first time that the concentrations of fluoride normally found in serum can enhance calcification in the presence of physiological concentrations of magnesium if the product of the calcium and phosphate concentrations is lower than normal.

Calcification is normal in human bodies. It is how our skeleton is formed. Please tell us how the article relates to the pineal gland.

Calcification refers to the buildup of calcium or calcium salts in tissues where it does not belong.

Please show us all the connection between the pineal gland and this article.
Are you familiar with a term called leeching?
"Fluorides are violent poisons to all living tissue because of their precipitation of calcium (leech calcium from bones) and make them porous and brittle..."
-The U.S. Dispensatory (24th Edition)
Where does that Leeched Calcium end up I wonder? Flouride's role in this calcification of the gland is well known and documented. Since you need someone to answer your question, the post you are demanding relevance for, is showing this process proven in vitro.

Flouride is unstable and easily bonds... particularly to calcium, leeches it and subsequently causes calcification. That's what it has to do with the Pineal Gland, but all this is already said in the thread and sources linked, so one must assume you are either ignorant of the process you are debunking, or just not reading the material. Ossification and Calcification are two different processes altogether.
If you have something to the contrary I'd love to read that stereologist, otherwise, debating someone who thinks calcification is normal and healthy and insists that most animals are tropical,/quote]
Most animals are tropical. In fact, that's well established.
One more time... /quote]
The article you refer to does not state anything about fluoride leeched calcium. It never mentions fluoride or leeching. It simply describes where calcification may occur.
Another interesting tidbit for those who are actually interested in the discussion at hand, apparently exposure to electromagnetic fields can accelerate calcification of the Pineal Gland, unless of course stereologist says otherwise.
So far you've managed to show nothing at all about fluoride. Now you want to throw more unsubstantiated claims into the fray.

Ingesting Sodium Flouride, which is not a covalent, in any amount is high enough concentrations to leech calcium from bones and teeth, Flouride bonds readily with Calcium... One Molecule, a sack full of it at the local municpal water suppy, or a toothpaste tube full of it... It deposits it pretty much everywhere else, this is called diffusion, similar to osmosis, and can lead to a number of nasty things like hardening arterial walls and calcification.
In the lower doses used for water fluoridation, the only clear adverse effect is dental fluorosis, which can alter the appearance of children's teeth during tooth development; this is mostly mild and is unlikely to represent any real effect on aesthetic appearance or on public health.
Yeah, I've made what's called an assertion.
I have a feeling that we will soon get to find out if the Pineal gland is effected by a huge solar flare. The sun is getting a little spotty and some look pretty interesting. It's getting closer to the Solar Max. It seems they keep postponing it lately. Hopefully it happens in the winter around here. The heat of Summer is bad enough without having the pineal gland acting up.
You're right, your ignorance of calcification, diffusion, and tropical animal population is somehow my problem.
Seriously, this stuff is well documented Stereologist. Try PubMed for example, there's a wealth of research available. A Fish is Never Thirsty, so why then should you be ignorant in this great technological age?
Here, I'll throw you a bone...
The Pineal Gland begins to calicify naturally around the age of 14 cooinciding with a slowing in the synthesis of endogenous '___', which intitially led to the speculation that the Pineal Gland was specifically involved in it's production (the awakening part of this thread u2u me for a RATS link you may find interesting). Flouride and exposure to electromagnetic fields can accelerate this cumulative calcification process particularly in the younger hence more susceptible population. I'm just going from memory here, but if you know of information or research that contradicts this, then please by all means post away.
