Putting fluoride in water.......

so the common knowledge is that fluoride is added to water to reduce cavities and tooth decay, here in the UK 11% of the water supply is fluoridated........what might surprise you is this........
these countries don't fluoridate their water.......main reasons are lack of evidence and that the purpose of supplying water is not medicinal in nature.....
these studies show fluoride does not prevent cavities and tooth decay when ingested, which makes perfect sense if you think about it, you don't swallow mouthwash do you......so why put it in water?........the WHO has said countries with non-fluoridated water have if anything lower levels of tooth decay than those with.....
these studies show that fluoride causes a series of ill health disorders, most interestingly it is a CNS toxin, even in low dosages of 1ppm, and this study shows a direct correlation between fluoride and reduced IQ.......
now despite this wealth of research contrary to popular belief, they are still attempting to fluoridate water in scotland, despite the motion being rejected last year........more worryingly tony bliar is backing plans to increase fluoridation in our supply, despite the growing evidence.......why so eager?
now when i tell you that 2/3rds of america's water supply is fluoridated..........i don't mean to generalise but the people strike me as simplistic and easily led......i have to ask, wtf is our government playing at?..........one of my friends told me about this a few months back and i kind of laughed it off, now i'm not so sure, am i being paranoid?....... :crazyeyes
i only looked into this recently cos my mum suggested i filter my water, which i have been doing for a couple months now, then i drank some tapwater recently and i felt sick, literally.......
oh and christopher bryson has recently published this book........

We buy fortified flour and the water contains chlorine anyway. It's a question of subjecting a lot of people to fluoridated water for the benefit of a few children whose diet is deficient.
it's ok for the government to medicate me with toxic industrial waste against my wishes ...but it's not ok for me to self medicate using a relatively harmless ...to me ...herb.
it's a mad world.
I think they won't be doing it to intentinally harm anyone, they probably beleive it'll be a good thing if it is in the water.
lol, my thoughts exactly.......if other western countries are having none of it then why are we?.....we gonna follow the u.s. to the gates of hell or what...... :shocking: , maybe there are too many intelligent brits, i find the research quite shocking, i certainly wasn't aware of all the dangers of it, all these chemicals can't be good for you tho, doesn't get anymore blatant than tampering with the water.........*ends drunken ramble*
Then why isn't everyone doing it?........in fact we're in the minority, the majority of the civilised world don't, from the evidence it's only really america...........? are they smarter than the rest of us?..........
I really don't think that its an attempt to passivise the population by spiking the water supply.
Your suggestion that the US population is gullable and easily led is a big fat generalisation and linking their supposed gullability to the higher level of fluoride in their water supply doesn't prove anything at all.
Do you seriously think that Americans are inately "less smart" than citizens from other countries? They seem to produce a hell of a lot of the worlds scientific research and technology and have the worlds best universities for a start.
Surely thats no better than claiming that say, Nigerians are stupider than us? Or Russians are less smart than us?
Why do you feel it is ok to claim that Americans are somehow naturally stupid? Quite apart from the fact that it is obviously not true, its seems to be quite a bigoted thing to say.
considering you lot don't even admit terrorism is a bogus pretext for global domination yet, the heat is turned up on bliar over here at least for pulling his stunts..........still everyone is scared of conservatives and liberals so looks like this election is another foregone conlcusion.....
You honestly believe that Americans are more stupid than the rest of the world? That is stupid and bigoted. If you were to say it about any other country you'd be flamed.
How you can equate the voting choice of a minority of the population with intelligence is beyond me. Regardless of what you think of George Bush it doesnt make you stupid if you vote for him, academics and intelligent people vote republican too.
Not entirely sure what you are on about there. Don't see the relevance...
You seem a bit keen to wheel out the old conspiracy theories in pretty much every post!
Well its 4 am and Ive just finished my essay for tomorrow so I'm going to have to leave this debate till tomorrow!
The invasion of Iraq has absoloutely no relevance to the intelligence of Americans.
Bed time - seeya!
not the cause of it
Am I being simplistic??
That is massively needed and would be a big help. But it's not going to generally address the main problems which are poor dental hygiene and poor diet.
My solutions such as they are is more spent on school dinners (50p per child is not breaking the bank), more competitive sport (at least we can try and improve their general fitness) and perhaps linking NHS dentists to schools (ie the school books appointments once every six months and the whole primary class trips off to the dentist).
Its probably not workable, though....
school dentists have always been relatively shit in my opinion, was made to have surgery done which wasnt necessery
