RE: Fluoride & Other Toxins in Your Municipal Water Supplies Are Poisoning You. They're FULL of Cancerous NeuroToxins & Crap. Here's some VISUAL Proof. Is YOUR Water Supply Polluted Similarly? | Still w. VIDEO Seminar I Appear In. | E.3
I'm sorry but most of these claims your posting are incorrect or misleading. The US has been fluorinating our water for over 70 years and there has not been a creditable study proving harmful effects but there have been countless peer reviewed double blind studies of its benefit.
I am sure some people are going to claim I am part of the conspiracy and I work for the government or something like that but I'm not, I'm just a working class parent who has done his research.
I just want to share an opposing opinion based in facts, studies and science. Here is a link with information debunking a lot of these myths about fluoride with actual citations to real scientific studies and papers and not just memes and pictures with no citations or actual evidence.

Let me know if you would like more info.
Edit: Flagging my post because you disagree with my stance/argument is just down right childish. Please learn about confirmation bias before you go around flagging comments just because you disagree with what they have to say.

If you read the study they are quoting in that article they specifically state that further study and analysis is needed before making a determination of its real risk is one does exisit. A study involving only 300 participant pairs is just not a statistically a large enough cohort to provide a solid conclusion and they readily admit that the source of the urine fluoride concentrations needs to be confirmed with further research. Read for yourself:
https://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/ehp655/
"Conclusion
In this study, higher levels of maternal urinary fluoride during pregnancy (a proxy for prenatal fluoride exposure) that are in the range of levels of exposure in other general population samples of pregnant women as well as nonpregnant adults were associated with lower scores on tests of cognitive function in the offspring at 4 and 6–12 y old.
Community water and salt fluoridation, and fluoride toothpaste use, substantially reduces the prevalence and incidence of dental caries (Jones et al. 2005) and is acknowledged as a public health success story (Easley 1995). Our findings must be confirmed in other study populations, and additional research is needed to determine how the urine fluoride concentrations measured in our study population are related to fluoride exposures resulting from both intentional supplementation and environmental contamination. However, our findings, combined with evidence from existing animal and human studies, reinforce the need for additional research on potential adverse effects of fluoride, particularly in pregnant women and children, and to ensure that the benefits of population-level fluoride supplementation outweigh any potential risks."
This is exactly an example of why it is important to fully research articles and claims before taking them at face value of the sensationalist articles some news agencies post. I fully support further research into potential risks and studies like this one are very important in determining what is safe and what is not.
I did read the study actually. I read it a while ago, and I am aware that the researchers said further research would be needed. This is not unusual in scientific research.
I am not looking for a definitive answer on whether fluoride in the water is dangerous or not. I personally think there is enough evidence to suggest that it may be harmful. You may disagree. We should have the freedom to choose whether or not to ingest it.
Fluoride is available in toothpaste for those who want to use it. I want to maintain the right to choose whether or not to use fluoride, and how much to use.
You do have the right to choose to consume it or not. You can filter it out of your water if you would like or buy bottled water. To date the proven benefits to the public fluorination of the drinking water have outweighed the potential costs and thus we continue to do it as a national public health success story for the last 70 years (as mentioned above in Easley 1995). I would argue that unless the majority of users of municipal drinking water want to stop doing it then it should continue to occur and the minority that want it removed can filter it out.
Do you realize what it takes to remove fluoride from water? What if I don't want to shower in toxic chemicals? Wouldn't reducing the amount of refined sugar in all of our food or simply having kids/adults eat less candy be a more healthier approach to preventing tooth decay as well as a host of other medical problems? What about the MANY other common substances in our american diet that contribute to tooth decay or bad health in general? Why does the government not care about this if it's really so concerned with money and the general health of the population? Honestly, this is how you can tell it's a lie... People should have a choice to be as unhealthy or healthy as they like and what they do or don't have in their water. Fluoridation is forced medication, end of story.

Thankfully I do have the right to choose whether to consume fluoride or not, and how much, because I live in Scotland, and we do not have fluoridated water. And it seems tooth decay has been declining here in recent years.
While I strongly support your providing evidence contrary to the post, as it is essential we not simply hear echos of what we want to hear - so strongly I countered the flag on your original comment - I cannot agree that if most people wanna smoke, that I must smoke too... er, drink flouride.
It is unacceptable that people are forced to be medicated against their will. Period. We are not cattle, and once the precedent is established, there is no limit to what can be imposed.
Nitrates are bad for you - no bacon! You're obese - back on that treadmill, fatty! People are going to jail for refusing to subject their children to unwanted vaccinations, already. This must stop!
Please, do return to reason, and disavow your advocacy of forced medication, and the slippery slope that creates.
Consider, honestly, that 300 vaccines are presently in development, and the vaccine industry is now immune from suit. This is a nightmare ongoing, and thalidomide, radium, etc., shows that science constantly discovers new information that proves old data were deadly.
