Well I guess that explains why smoking tobacco and drinking black tea don't prevent cavities. Both are loaded with fluoride.

Unconfirmed hypothesis?

"Fluoridation: a fifty-year-old accepted but unconfirmed hypothesis"

"The fifty-year-old fluoridation hypothesis has not been confirmed. Despite this, millions of people are still medicated with fluoride by government decree, on the assumption that this process has been proved to be entirely safe, and very efficacious in reducing dental caries. In fact, the scientific basis of fluoridation is very unsatisfactory. It is promoted, in the main, by emotion-based 'endorsements' rather than by scientifically-acceptable evidence."

Silicofluorides have never been submitted to the U.S. FDA for approval? as medicines?

"Fluoridation: a violation of medical ethics and human rights"

"Silicofluorides­, used in? water fluoridation, are unlicensed medicinal substances, administered to populations without informed consent or supervision by a qualified medical practitioner. Silicofluorides have never been submitted to the U.S. FDA for approval? as medicines. The ethical validity of fluoridation policy does not stand up to scrutiny to the? Nuremberg Code and other codes of medical ethics."

Does fluoride cause or contribute to uterine cancer?

"Relationship between fluoride concentration in drinking water and mortality rate from uterine cancer in Okinawa prefecture, Japan"

"The Okinawa Islands located in the southern-most part of Japan were under U.S. administration from 1945 to 1972. During that time, fluoride was added to the drinking water supplies in most regions. The relationship between fluoride concentration in drinking water and uterine cancer mortality rate was studied in 20 municipalities of Okinawa and the data were analyzed using correlation and multivariate statistics. A significant positive correlation was found between fluoride concentration in drinking water and uterine cancer mortality in 20 municipalities."

"New evidence on fluoridation"

"A review of recent scientific literature reveals a consistent pattern of evidence-- hip fractures, skeletal fluorosis, the effect of fluoride on bone structure, fluoride levels in bones and osteosarcomas-- pointing to the existence of causal mechanisms by which fluoride damages bones. In addition, there is evidence, accepted by some eminent dental researchers... that there is negligible benefit from ingesting fluoride..."

Does fluoride cause or contribute cancer? Protoplasmic poison?

"Is there a need of extra fluoride in children?"

"Fluoride consumption by human beings increases the general cancer death rate, disrupts the synthesis of collagen and leads to the breakdown of collagen in bone, tendon, muscle, skin, cartilage, lungs, kidney and trachea, causing disruptive effect? on tissues in the body. It inhibits antibody formation, disturbs immune system and makes the child prone to malignancy. Fluoride has been categorized as a protoplasmic poison..."

Rat poison is NOT essential for life!

If Harvard compares natural calcium fluoride to "lead, mercury, and other poisons" which is the least toxic of fluoride compounds, what would you think of the MORE TOXIC hexafluorosilicic acid or Fluorosilicic acid or sodium fluorides used in water fluoridation?

Harvard: "Impact of fluoride on neurological development in children"

"Some studies suggested that even slightly increased fluoride exposure could be toxic to the brain. " (Note - they are speaking of naturally occurring "calcium fluoride).

“Fluoride seems to fit in with lead, mercury, and other poisons..." (Note - again Harvard is speaking of naturally occurring "calcium fluoride").

http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/features/fluoride-childrens-health-grandjean-choi/

The LD50 level of a chemical compound is what is takes to kill 50% of the population.

LD50 level for "calcium fluoride" is 4250 mg/kg
LD50 level for hexafluorosilicic acid is 70 mg/kg
LD50 level for "sodium fluoride" is 52-200 mg/kg

Do you see a difference in the toxicity of these fluoride compounds? If Harvard compares naturally occurring "calcium fluoride" to "lead, mercury, and other poisons", why would anyone jump at the opportunity to ingest and bathe in the more toxic "hexafluorosilicic acid" or "sodium fluoride" used for water fluoridation?

Where's the lab work used to determine whether you are deficient in fluoride ions or overexposed to fluoride ions? Why was this scientific method discarded when it comes to fluoride? Where's the scientific proof (i.e. urine, blood, or hair analysis) anyone needs another fluoride ion when everything but distilled water is now contaminated with fluoride? It bio accumulates in the body forever. It's cumulative. Why is no one ever monitored with lab work when it comes to fluoride? It's negligent. It's a known neurotoxin. Rat poison.

OP, sorry your thread got hijacked. Jeff confirmed it's just a single poster posting all this nonsense about fluoride.

The dose makes the poison. Everything essential for life (salt, water, iron) can be a poison if your body gets too much of it. It's pretty clear that a crazy person can drum up "evidence" on almost anything but that doesn't mean it's true (see the anti-vax conspiracy theories).

"Effects of the fluoride on the central nervous system"

"INTRODUCTION: Fluoride (F) is a toxic and reactive element, and exposure to it passes almost unnoticed, with the consumption of tea, fish, meat, fruits, etcetera and articles of common use such as: toothpaste additives; dental gels, non-stick pans and razor blades as Teflon. It has also been used with the intention of reducing the dental cares.

DEVELOPMENT: Fluoride can accumulate in the body, and it has been shown that continuous exposure to it causes damaging effects on body tissues, particularly the nervous system directly without any previous physical malformations.

BACKGROUND: Several clinical and experimental studies have reported that the F induces changes in cerebral morphology and biochemistry that affect the neurological development of individuals as well as cognitive processes, such as learning and memory. F can be toxic by ingesting one part per million (ppm), and the effects they are not immediate, as they can take 20 years or more to become evident.

CONCLUSION: The prolonged ingestion of F may cause significant damage to health and particularly to the nervous system. Therefore, it is important to be aware of this serious problem and avoid the use of toothpaste and items that contain F, particularly in children as they are more susceptible to the toxic effects of F."

Did you even know that there were loads of "fluoride ions" in tobacco and tea?

Have you heard of epigenetics? Fluoride may even damage the lungs of your future grandchildren.

"Histopathological and biochemical changes in lung tissues of rats following administration of fluoride over several generations"

"This multigenerational evaluation of the long-term effect of different doses of fluoride intake through drinking water on lung damage shows that the lung tissues were damaged, there was emphysema and inflammation of lung parenchyma associated with loss of alveolar architecture and the degree of lung damage seemed to correlate with the increased dosage of fluoride."

Fluoride could potentially damage the heart muscle tissue of your grandchildren.
See:
"Effects of chronic ingestion of sodium fluoride on myocardium in a second generation..."

"The present results revealed that prolonged ingestion of fluoride through drinking water, particularly with high doses, induced significant histopathological and biochemical changes leading to myocardial tissue damage."

Given that no one cares to measure the fluoride levels in the human body with lab work, we have no way of knowing how much fluoride we are actually getting every day. Everyone is just too focused on the amount in tap water as if that's our only source of fluoride.

In fact, fluoride could even make your future grandchildren stupid. (epigenetics).

"Fluoride toxicity and status of serum thyroid hormones, brain histopathology, and learning memory in rats: a multigenerational assessment"

"In the T-maze experiments, the fluoride-treated group showed poor acquisition and retention and higher latency when compared with the control. The alterations were more profound in the third generation when compared with the first- and second-generation fluoride-treated group. Changes in the thyroid hormone levels in the present study might have imbalanced the oxidant/antioxidant system, which further led to a reduction in learning memory ability. Hence, presence of generational or cumulative effects of fluoride on the development of the offspring when it is ingested continuously through multiple generations is evident from the present study."
