Why are some states simply ignoring the latest studies, and passing new laws that will hurt your teeth and harm your health? Action Alert!
Water fluoridation was introduced to the United States in the 1940s as a way to use waste product from the manufacture of aluminum, a waste product that was expensive to dispose of and which was harming cattle and farmland. Since then, the federal government has taken the stance that the fluoridation of drinking water, which conveniently disposed of the waste, is vitally important to help prevent tooth decay; the CDC called it one of the ten great public health achievements of the 20th century. But the the latest scientific studies have finally made the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) change their tune on how much fluoride is safe.
The data indicates that dental fluorosis—damage to the teeth from fluoride, ranging from lacy white markings or spots on the enamel to staining and pitting of the tooth surface—happens when fluoride levels are too high. Water is only one of several sources of fluoride. Other common sources include dental products such as toothpaste and mouth rinses, prescription fluoride supplements, fluoride applied by dental professionals, and exposure through our food, which is often sprayed with fluoride-based pesticides.
Today the fluoride in your water mostly comes from the phosphate fertilizer industry—but it’s still toxic waste, containing other byproducts such as arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury. And two studies show that fluoride increases the accumulation of lead in bone, teeth, and other calcium-rich tissues, transporting heavy metals into areas of your body they normally would not be able to go—like your brain.
Another study revealed that prolonged, high intake of fluoride can increase the risk of brittle bones, fractures, and crippling bone abnormalities. Longtime readers may recall our 2008 article on the effects of fluoride on teeth and bones (harming kidney patients worst of all); we also noted that fluoride is a known neurotoxin, and can have detrimental effects on the thyroid, which could affect intelligence.
Moreover, fluoride can combine with other chemicals in the water to make them even more harmful. For example, when chloramines combine with the fluoride in water, they work together to extract lead from old plumbing systems, which leads to the accumulation of lead in the water supply.

Does fluoride stay in the body, or does it get flushed out?
If it stays, its bad, as we can see, and if it doesn't, the initial problem persists as we release it...
The US government considers its own citizens as waste disposing walking little industries... yiiish.

Last time I checked whenever you're slowing killing anyone for any reason that is not a good thing... but what do I know...

Thanks for the answer!
PagealaCearl, you touch a good point with the nazi connection. Everything they promoted, we know today was also promoted by American industrialists, like Ford, etc.
When the nazis were "beaten", the industrialists that supported them in the US were still very free to promote their ideology in another fashion...

I noticed you put "beaten" in quotes so I'm going to assume that you're well aware of the fact they didn't lose... if they had G.W.H. Bush would have never been President nor would his son have been... Nazism is alive and well and running every facet of our government... for anyone that doesn't think this is the case take a look around... a long hard look around... then instead of living in denial start drawing parallels to 1939 Germany and see how many you can come up with...

But as I learn how our society works, I can't help notice the nazis ideology is now implemented pretty much everywhere.
