| Fluoride Is Bad For Your Health. |
| It is a chemical located in toothpaste to assist in cleaning your teeth and helping sterilize public water. I happen to think those claims are false. Fluoride was used by NAZI death camps to depress the labor workers and destroy their morale to escape. What do you think?

Fluoride is indeed toxic. It is largely responsible for the excessively tall children we see
nowadays. It can take only one generation for toxic nutrition to damage body shapes, but it takes
several years for good nutrition to alter body shapes. Fluoride interferes with proper bone
development, resulting in weak, thin bones that grow very long but which fail to grow thick. Our
tall Americans are not a picture of health.
Carbonated beverages contain as much or more fluoride than fluoridated water and are a major source
of our excessive intake of fluoride. |

Apparently its linked to certain cancers and other detrimental life effects. This is one among many
other synthetic/unhealthy chemicals. |

Well there has to be some reason for Brits to justify there narly gangly looking teeth. |

In large amounts, but unless you habitually wash down a coupla tubes of toothpaste with large
amounts of water, which in itself might kill you you're probably safe |

What Grenache said and if we avoided all things that have the potential to be toxic or in some way
bad for our health, we would never eat or drink anything again. Perhaps eating a tube of toothpaste
is not a good idea. Little ones aren't supposed to use fluoride until they learn to spit the
toothpaste out after brushing. I live in a county that does not have fluoride in the water and my
kids had to be on supplements until they could brush. I have truly never seen so many little ones
with rotten teeth before moving here. My girls are both petite, so the fluoride supplements didn't
help them in the growth department. |

I agree with Grenache and Finsch. |

I can verify nearly everything in Grenache's response. But please don't make me it would take much
too long. |

I'm not buying it. This was a debate subtopic in a water quality debate resolution back when I was
in high school team debate (1980s - yeah that long ago). The handful of alarming rhetoric articles
were easily discounted scientifically by more credible sources. Currently thanks to the internet
flouride is again and again in the cross hairs of outrageous claims but really any crackpot can
assassinate flouride via a website. In defense consider this: 1) Flouride in toothpaste genuinely
protects teeth, it's thoroughly documented, you can prove it to yourself by stopping it's use for a
year and then going to your dentist. 2) Flouride in drinking water statistically lowers cavities in
the area where used, in fact the few places they stopped the flouride the cavities went back up. 3)
MOST substances in excessive concentration are toxic and MOST substances in miniscule enough
concentration are safe so simply declaring it has been used as a poison proves nothing. Arsenic
will kill you, right, well Fiji drinking water contains some traces of arsenic yet it's still safe
to drink and I've had it myself and lived. Food preservatives used in everything from chicken
nuggets to God knows what are actually very toxic (that's why they preserve) but used in small
enough concentrations they're considered safe. 4) We've been using flouride in water and toothpaste
for a full century now. Why haven't we all dropped dead? 5) Nature has ways of being just as toxic
as people but we look the other way most of the time. Decaying leaves in the public water supply
create a toxic chemical called THM (trihalomethane) which is far more concerning than any imagined
threat from flouride, yet you don't see hysterical websites all over the net saying for God's sake
let's get the leaves out of the water system and hack the trees way back from the reservoir edges
and put up netting and fencing, etc. Even if somehow you were right about the flouride risk we've
got far bigger fish to fry and we aren't even bothering to. |
