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.<BR/><BR/>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. <BR/><BR/>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.<BR/><BR/>

Hi Ken,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the prompt response. <BR/>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. <BR/>I drink tap water that is flourinated, but my parents haven't consumed flourinated water, since the supply was first

Waterbabies,<BR/><BR/>The fluoridation of water and the use of fluoride toothpaste has been documented to vastly improve the oral health of the general population.<BR/><BR/>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
