Fluorides of any form are toxic, full stop. The myth that they have been proven 'safe and effective' at preventing tooth decay are propaganda sponsered by the polluting industries. Do you research thoroughly and don't merely repeat the false and misleading statements promoted by the medical, dental and industrial chemistry professions.
I, and many others have been researching the

Some interesting discussion here. It is probably best to keep in mind that Fluoride is very accumulative and the body is not incredibly efficient at getting rid of it, because it has never needed to be in the past. So I think what we need to establish is the rate and amount at which the body excretes Fluoride in comparison to the amount ingested, and if the ingestion exceeds the ejection it

Hello,

In regards to the issue of water flouridation it seems people have brought up serious concerns regarding the topic. So far I haven't I've seen statements claiming that flouridated water is suspected to be dangerous to infants. The only pro argument I see being discussed is correlational data, and in your own words Ken, correlation isn't causation.

Contrary

To the anonymous poster who left a comment on June 30, 2008 at 19:30 PDT. Your post was not posted because it was condescending, makes hearsay claims without providing web addresses to the scientific sources that support your claims and draws causality relationships that may or may not valid.

In regards to you accusations that we might have a financial stake in companies that produce

Anecdotal correlation does not mean causation. This is where people go entirely wrong when looking at "hot button" issues like fluoride in water or the vaccination of children.

My wife's great grandmother was suffering from very serious dementia when she died and she lived her entire life in a Russian village so we can not say that fluoride was the cause of her dementia.

Hi Ken,

Thank you for the prompt response.
I'm willing for there to be a scientific study of the incidence of dementia (since Alzheimer's can only be confirmed on autopsy - at least, last that I heard) in areas of flourinated vs non-flourinated water supplies.
I drink tap water that is flourinated, but my parents haven't consumed flourinated water, since the supply was first

Waterbabies,

The fluoridation of water and the use of fluoride toothpaste has been documented to vastly improve the oral health of the general population.

Contrary to what you claim, fluoride does continue to help strengthen teeth well after teeth have finished developing. It is not necessary, however, for us to ingest fluoride to get this benefit. As such the risk benefit of

The article states "In areas where fluoride is added to drinking water, children are reported to have 70% fewer cavities than non-fluorinated areas." I wonder if a study has been done on the percentage of Alzheimers victims are in flourinated vs non-flourinated water areas. Also the article points out that flouride is attracted to fat, so it is used in pharmaceutical manufacture, fat soluable
