Seems like this article says that fluoride in water at usual concentrations is linked to macrophage apoptosis which can lead to the buildup of arteriosclerosis. www.fluorideresearch.org...
If this is true, then carragenan also kills Macrophages. It could also cause a buildup in the arteries.
I got to get back to studying all this research to see if I can figure out how to combat it. It seems we did not need to eat high amounts of antioxidents before we started to boost fluoride consumption. Instead of fixing the problem they make a bunch of new recogmendations...What a bunch of crap. Another coverup of past mistakes made.
I'll probably be up for hours researching this site. Trying to figure out how to cancel out the negative effects of fluoride on the body and mind.
From another article I read, I summarize that caffeine or any chemical that speeds up metabolism might help neutralize the fluoride's effect on the endocrine system. This may be why coffee or tea don't bother us so much, the caffeine stimulates the kidneys to discharge the fluoride and coffee has over a hundred and fifty antioxidents in it....water has none.

Fluoride is a mineral so medicated is a misnomer. I replied to you in Chaotic's thread.
If you are worried about it, go to a dr and get a fluoride test done. Go talk to the water treatment plant operator and get the information you want. Talk to the environment agency. Find out what is in your water...that is the first step.

I would say that since just about every drink of water you drink, and the fact that it's almost impossible to avoid no matter where you go (restaurants, pretty much anywhere with tap water etc) would classify it as "excessive".
So it doesn't kill us, just makes our bones fall apart? Good to know, I suppose.
No, that is not right. Salt is in everything and it doesn't kill us in small amounts. It does not do what you claim...but thanks for reading the whole thread... *eyeroll*
I do hate terrible analogies.
Salt = Floride? I'm sorry, but fluoride is unhealthy to exist in the body, while salt is ESSENTIAL FOR LIFE.
I'd like you to now address the thyroid in your post. The thyroid is essential to our bodies, like salt is, and the thyroid doesnt function as well with the presence of flouride in the human body, and if it isn't functioning well, can lead to multiple problems. You see, the thyroid has receptors that are able to receive, and need, iodine. When fluoride, or even its buddies; bromine, and chlorine are present in the body, they compete for receptor sites in the thyroid that are meant for iodine, because they have the same charge. When your thyroid starts to take in fluoride, bromine, and/or chlorine, your thyroid is no longer getting what it needs to function properly. Thus, you aren't as healthy.
Salt, like fluoride is deadly in large amounts. Just because you don't understand an analogy does not make it horrible.
How much does your thyroid have to take in of each of the chemicals you named in order to not function properly? How much does your body absorb or get rid of and how much does the thyroid absorb exactly?

You still didn't understand that salt is essential while fluoride is poison. Tomatos and water are deadly too, if you take in too much.
Sodium Fluoride is added to the bottom of test tubes that pathologists use to transport whole blood for assay (It is that waxy substance in the bottom of the tube when you get a blood test). The fluoride prevents, or slows, the normal sugar metabolism by insulin in the blood, preventing it from changing over time and giving erroneous readings when the pathology lab tests it.

Stop going on about doses or MACs that makes no difference what so ever.
We don't want TOXIC minerals ADDED to our water no matter the dosage , you speaking of doses, you sure it's not medicating??
The problem people have is the loss of choice about what we put into our own bodies.
It really makes no difference WHY each person would choose to not have it in the water. I don't need it.
And if it's ' in lots of cases already there' why the need to add more?

Fluoride in the drinking water - next - drink the koolaid - it won't killya.
Mountain streams might contain some naturally occurring fluoride - but not brought in and dumped as in aluminum by-product - known as spent potliner.
Try reading ... 'The Fluoride Deception' - Christopher Bryson
ch 15 - Buried Science, Buried Workers
"The implications of the Martin verdict were frightening. Like the Oregon farming family who had been poisoned by Reynolds fluoride,..."
fluoride - it's a gas
It's also - for you tree huggers - environmentally toxic.
Btw - sources puhleese
edit on 6-12-2013 by jibajaba because: (no reason given)
OOOOOO
Yea the OP is probably correct , that Fluorine.
As I know for fact a small whiff of chlorine gas. it does not seem to have any bad effect upon a person.
It would most likely just be different as it might effect one person more than another,, or the other person body chemistry was such that, they worked in a positive manner.
Then there is also, The Christ was to of said, "Not Be concerned with worry of food, or of clothing, as flower".
But then to I'm not one ready to pick up Rattle snakes.

You are wrong people are not against fluoride they are against it In our drinking water
Why? Can you answer that without running to a website?

I do understand that...let's try something else so you can understand.
What goes into your water to disinfect it and keep it disinfected and you drink it?
Sodium Hypochlorite. Bleach.
Do you get it yet? Small doses of something may be beneficial while large doses can kill you. Look up warfarin. Lookup all its uses.
I already know fluoride doesn't 'kill' you, just like small amounts of mycotoxins in our foods don't kill you, but they are certainly not making your health any better, they do quite the opposite, just in small amounts.
