Effects of Fluoride Summarized Briefly
# Neurotoxic and Lowers IQ
Damage to the brain occured and the behavior patterns of the animals was adversely effected.
# Causes Cancer
The Department of Health in New Jersey found that bone cancer in male children was between two and seven times greater in areas where water was fluoridated. A new study has shown that fluoridation of water is linked to uterine cancer deaths.
# Changes Bone Structure and Strength
Fluoride gradually builds up in the bones and causes adverse changes to the bone structure. Quite a few studies have shown that fluoridation leads to increases in hip fractures.
# Causes Birth Defects and Perinatal Deaths
The fluoridated area also had a 30% higher rate of Down's Syndrome. Chile banned fluoridation because of research by the world-reknowned researcher, Dr Albert Schatz, which showed a link to infant deaths due to fluoridation.
# Proven Ineffective
Fluoride compounds in water and in supplements do not provide any significant cavity-protecting effects.
# Impairs Immune System
Independent research has shown that fluoride impairs the functioning of the immune system.
# Causes Acute Adverse Reactions
Several double-blind studies have shown that fluoridated water can often cause acute adverse reactions (in addition to the chronic poisoning effects discussed below).
# Causes Initial Stages of Skeletal Fluorosis
Fluoride can cause severe skeletal fluorosis at high levels.
# Increases Lead and Arsenic Exposure
Fluoride compounds put into water are often contaminated with lead, arsenic and radio nuclides since the fluoride compounds are toxic waste byproducts which largely come from pollution scrubbers of fertilizer plants.
# Fluoride Causes Osteoarthritis
In a study published in Rhuematology International in 2001, researchers found a link between fluoride exposure and the development of osteoarthritis.
# Contributes to the Development of Repetitive Stress Injury
# Causes Permanent Disfigurement of the Teeth in Many Children
A very large and increasing number of children are experiencing dental fluorosis which is a permanent adverse structural change to the teeth.
# Inhibits Key Enzymes
As fluoride builds up in different parts of the body over decades it can disrupt the actions of many key enzymes. This fact has been known for a long time.
# Supresses Thyroid Function
Fluoride was given at low levels during the early to mid 20th century as an effective way of supressing thyroid function and treating hyperthyroidism. Articles and research can be found on the Thyroid web page.
# Causes Large Numbers of Acute Poisonings
# Independent Experts Oppose Dumping Fluoride Into Water
Over 1500 professionals at the US EPA, including toxicologists and risk assessment experts voted unanimously to oppose the fluoridation initiative in California because of the health risks involved.
# Unethical
Fluoridation amounts to forced medication of the water supply. Such practices demonstrate a complete lack of ethics on the part of its promoters.
# Banned in Many Countries
Fluoridation is not legal or not used in the overwhelming number of countries including industrialized countries. Please see Fluoride Status of Countries web page. -

most impt, wat is TS trying to sell here?

If there is poison in our water I would have dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee -
So that no one will live long and doctors have big businesses

Actually, i think even if u boil the water from tap water, the fluoride will still be there, because it not bacteria can be removed by boiling. so that what most people have been drinking. Not tap water, but even boiled tape water. I may be wrong though.Originally posted by Manager433:I know its harmful to our body but during my NSF time drink tap water for dun know how many times.

updated: boiled water will not remove fluoride from it but concentrate it.
# Boiling Water
This will concentrate the fluoride rather than reduce it.
# Freezing Water
Freezing water does not affect the concentration of fluoride. -
Nobody mention anything about death but side effects that will potentially affect the next generation see Birth Defects and Perinatal Deaths and yourself, see Impairs Immune System Inhibits Key Enzymes.Originally posted by MohamedF:Water fluoridation is approved by 100+ health foundation including the WHO...

Children can have perfectly good teeth without being exposed to fluoride. Fluoridated toothpaste, which is universally available, is a more rational approach to delivering fluoride to the target organ (teeth) while minimizing exposure to the rest of the body. -
