I'd be more concerned about the abrasives used in toothpaste which come from ground burnt bone.

The fluoride in the water is just the cheap option to give lazy slobs better teeth if you brush your teeth you will be fine . Im totaly against it . Even if we pretend there is no negatives to it forcing it on people is wrong. Why dont we just add some vitamins to the water too and maybe some fort of deodorant so every one smells nice .

Then how would be get rid on aluminium smelting by products? We can exactly put that stuff in the ground, or rivers, it's highly toxic.
Putting it in drinking water helps people, LOL, and gives the industry a little bonus money.

No it's not, fluoride is added to the water for a number of health benefits- not just dental Hygiene.

It is also shown to lower the incidence of Spina Bifida...

You cannot win this argument. Each side is absolutely convinced they are right and the mind closes off. The pro fluoride advocates believe they are doing the right thing. The efficacy of fluoridation in the public water system as a method of reducing dental disease has been proven beyond doubt. The anti fluoride campaigners feel that it is wrong to "force" them to drink fluoridated water as a matter of principle. It amazes me that the ant fluoride groups continually drag out unsubstantiated rumors and bizarre facts to support their side yet totally ignore the historical data. Historically fluoridation of the public water supply was brought about to help with a serious public health problem, a communicable bacterial disease most commonly known as dental caries. Damn if it did't work! More surprisingly, it was mostly done for the right reasons. No one is getting rich doing it, and it is really cheap so it is not a major tax burden. If you look at the legitimate science, there appears to be no reason to discontinue the practice. Some countries have quit fluoridating the water, those that have are most likely adding it to the salt supply, much like they add iodine to salt.

When dealing with public health issues it is very difficult to balance the freedom of the individual with the greater good of the community as a whole. The very vocal minority gets to pick and choose which public health initiative they want to see removed. This is a self centered act for the most part. Dental caries is a ....ah, what's the point. I make my living fixing this problem, so let's drop public fluoridation. Bring on the next wave of rampant dental caries and get my broker on the line.

Could say this about a lot of arguments here.

Close to the city where I was born is a big Aluminium plant, they were releasing tons of fluoride in the air and killed many square kilometre of forest all around the plant, the gov. made them have air filters and monitor the fluoride in the air. Surely it can't be that good for you if it kills the trees? And my teeth are shyte as well!
Should be a matter of choice.... if you want to take it get it from a pharmacist but do not force feed it to peeps!

More internet chemistry.

Was it sodium fluoride?
Uranium fluoride?
Potassium fluoride?
Elemental fluorine (gas)?
The list goes on.....

Chorine was used to kill people in WW1, do you eat sodium chloride (salt) ????

You're doing this on purpose and you're kidding, right?

The written 'structure', as you say, is meant to communicate what's going on between your 2 ears to other people. By posting here, you chose an English forum with the English language, which has conventions. Ergo...

(as much as I hate the idea of agreeing with the doctor )

Wow dude...

I just read that bit about my mum in the shower and me having private time in the towel closet...

Maybe I'm not giving your "alien voices in the head" powers of deduction all the credit they deserve.... That's freaking uncanny

Well if it's established fact, it's surprising you had to use such an old thing then.
Coulda pointed to a recent consensus website.

How do meds make money again out of this??

there's fluoride in many of the things we consume; anything made or grown with town water has fluoride in it.
so all you people who think you are untainted or immune from this evil mind control plot are kidding yourselves.
maybe fluoride causes baseless paranoia in some people?

To the doctor thank you for your sense of humor I've tried punctuation but the only way I can is like this full stop capitol letter t hankyou
