I don't know what the above is, but I do know Pete, as usual, is dead
wrong. It's quite difficult to find bottled water that does NOT
contain small amts of chorine and salt, both allowed by the FDA. As
for flouride, it is offered as option from some brands of bottled
water, like Alhambra water in CA. This because some municipalities,
like the one where my granddaughters live, have commie fearing morons
in the city govt and no flouride in the water. This means my GDs will
be plagued with cavities, jes like I was. My daughter never had a
single cavity (almost 10 yrs) till we moved from a fluoridated town to
a non-fluoridated town. I would buy fluoridated water for my GDs.

The same thing happened in Calgary. Some halfwit councillors believed
everything they read on the internet. The others were right-wingers who
hated the idea of putting fluoridated water on their lawns.

Modern science indicates that ingesting fluoride is ineffective at reducing tooth decay and harmful to health Rotten diets make rotten teeth and no amount of fluoride will change that

Fluoride is a drug with adverse side effects that never should be dispensed via the water supply with no consideration for age, health, weight, drug interactions and need.

Fluoridation Opposition is Scientific, Respectable & Growing

Over 4,600 professionals (including 365 dentists and 566 MD’s) urge that fluoridation be stopped because science shows fluoridation is ineffective and harmful. See statement: http://www.fluoridealert.org/researc...tatement/text/

Nobel Prize winner in Medicine, Dr. Arvid Carlsson, says, “Fluoridation is against all principles of modern pharmacology. It's really obsolete.”

It's a reference to Dr. Strangelove. The character Colonel Jack D. Ripper
was insane, and in addition to launching the nuclear weapons, he
ranted on and on about fluoridation. He needed to maintain the
purity of essence of his precious bodily fluids, so he drank
only pure grain alcohol and rainwater.

If fluoride is (allegedly) so bad why is it added to toothpaste? Why do
they sell fluoride rinses? Why do dentists give fluoride treatments? I
really don't understand the paranoia about fluoride.

One of the loonie fringe arguments is that it is industrial waste! But hell,
the lanolin used in a plethora of women's cosmetics is too. In fact, it used
to be extracted from sewage in towns where wool processing was a major

I'm firmly in the fluoride is good camp although I don't like how it
makes water taste. Here are some of the arguments "against"...

The trouble with such sites is that they make unsubstantiated claims that
have the appearance of veracity. The studies they often allude to are
usually misquoted or even fictional or anecdotal.
Always be suspicious of statements that start with: "Studies show that...."
Their only valid argument is the fact that they cannot choose whether or not
to have it in their tapwater.

Fluoride is good when topically applied to teeth in the form of
toothpaste and then rinsed thoroughly. Note the warning on every single
tube of fluoride toothpaste not to consume more than a pea sized amount,
and to get medical attention if you do. That warning is there due to the
fact that fluoride is highly toxic. Fluoride is very bad when consumed,
as are the various reaction by-products it creates in a municipal water
system.

Have you read the warning not to swallow more than a pea sized amount of
fluoride toothpaste? It's on every single tube of fluoride toothpaste
since fluoride is highly toxic. If you don't understand the significant
difference between topical application of fluoride toothpaste to teeth
followed by a rinse, vs. drinking the toxic fluoride (and it's reaction
by-products) daily then you need to go back to grade school level
science classes.

If you don't understand the difference between 0.7 ppm fluoride
in drinking water and 1000 ppm fluoride in toothpaste, then you
need to go ack to grade-school level science classes.

If you don't comprehend the difference between 0.7 ppm consumed, vs.
1000 ppm spit out and rinsed, you have failed all science classes.

A pea-sized amount at 1000 ppm appears to be different from
for example, a liter at 0.7 ppm.

Wikipedia (and I realize what quality of information they have) tells
me that 50% of fluoride is excreted in a day.

Don't drink tea, Pete. It's got fluoride in it.

Yep - if it was THAT bad for you, everyone in Australia who's been

Adverse health effects from chronic exposure to toxic substances are
well known. One need not die to suffer such effects.

It's hilarious how some ppl can be in complete denial about some
issues that are truly scary, then go completely ballistic over
another, which is actually fairly benign and beneficial. Yeah,
fracking, oil spill dispersants, and global warming are totally bogus,
but fluoride! ...now there's a real killer!

Nope, it seems to be doing pretty well as confirmed by scientists from

You're assuming I *had* science classes when I was in grade school. I

It doesn't matter. I've been drinking fluoridated water all my life.

I may have beat you on the shortest stay in a school. We didn't move a
lot but we did when I was half way through grade nine. I had to a
school a lot further away because I was taking instrumental music. I
only went to that school for one day. I opted to take art instead and
went to the one closer to home.

As for fluoride... they started to fluoridate the water when I was a
kid. My younger brother and I bother ended up needed veneers due to
tooth enamel problems. My older brothers did not. They were older when
the fluoride was introduced. Not getting on a fluoride conspiracy
thing... just saying....

Yep, genes. My mom had bad teeth. She was wearing a full set of
dentures by the time she was in her 40's. My dad had good teeth, and
most of his natural teeth when he died at 83. My oldest brother and I
have good teeth. Middle-bro got the crappy teeth. Trust me, it didn't
have a thing to do with fluoridated water.

I never said anything about a conspiracy. Fluoride in the water supply
may have made sense 80 years ago when people couldn't readily get /
afford fluoride toothpaste. Today fluoride toothpaste is readily
available and affordable so there is no longer any justification for
deliberately adding a highly toxic substance to the water supply.

Except you haven't convinced me the amount of fluoride in the drinking
water supply *is* toxic. Besides, there is probably fluoride in a lot
of the bottled water sold across the US. So back to the original post
which was about bottled water... you're saying it's safer just because
it comes in a bottle? I'm not buying it.

People have easy access to the pertussis vaccine too, but they choose
not to vaccinate their children. As a result, whooping cough is a
growing epidemic - with more and more adults getting it every year.
People (especially children) die from it, but idiotic parents continue
to risk their children's lives.
