Anti-fluoride activists have continued to rally against municipal fluoridation of water for decades, worried that overdoses could lead to weight gain and muscle pains from thyroid problems, discoloration of teeth and other yet-to-be-discovered side effects. They also worry that ingesting too much fluoride could damage bones the same way it has been found to eat away at tooth enamel.

Have they rolled out ubiquitous picocells in that area? Just asking. No particular reason (whistling fades).

You're not that hung up on it OP? Fluoridating water started with Hitler in his Jew camps. I guess he just wanted to make sure their teeth were nice and clean before he executed them right?
OP you need to check up on your facts. This isn't a laughing matter. You can live in denial (and it's not just a river in Egypt) all you want, but please don't push your ignorance on others.

Phoenix can't stop fluoridating the water or they'll lose the free money they get.
I heard the maker of Viagra gives cities $1 million to use fluoride. Fluoride makes men go limp and need to buy Viagra.
Phoenix won't give up the free money.

I am aware of what the Nile is. Ignorance and disagreement are not always the same thing. I'm saying I have seen the things people say about fluoridating the tap water but I have yet to see any affects people speak of. Considering the fluoride we get daily in toothpastes, mouth washes, etc I see no point in it. I'm not saying it's not a problem. I'm saying it's not something I worry about all the time. Then again I'm also not one of the people on here that runs around screaming the sky is falling 24/7 either. I got on here because I find a lot of the theories discussed here interesting. It doesn't mean I think they are all accurate. If anything I think fluoridating water came about (here anyway) as a misguided project that had good intentions. Problem is ingesting fluoride is not the same as using on just your teeth.
