    Fluoride, or Hydrofluorosilic acid that is put into tap water is a waste by-product derived from the industrial manufacture of aerosols, aluminium, fertilizers, insecticides, lubricants, pharmaceuticals, plastics, uranium and zinc.
    American toothpastes containing fluoride are by law obliged to state, '"WARNING: Keep out of reach of children under 6 years of age. If you accidentally swallow more than used for brushing, seek professional help or contact a poison control center immediately."
    It is also a Part II Poison under the UK Poisons Act 1972 ranking in toxicity above lead and just below arsenic.
    Hitler used fluoride in the water to induce docility.

    EDIT: I love how Op moved the word Hitler down the post a little.

    I would think that the dangers you are warning about are only if you take the chemicals straight and a lot of them. Where as if its mixed in with a reservoir of drinking water its very diluted.

    Aren't they put into water to clean it and strengthen teeth or something?

    *Too lazy to click links so probably completely wrong

    Did you know that some people have died in car crashes while wearing seatbelts?

    Clearly this means seatbelts are useless and we should ban them.

    Are we still Doing this?

    Considering a good percentage of our water is pissed away through leaky pipes & the parts of the West of Ireland get brown sludge from their taps, is the flouride added having any effect at all?

    How are we still adding this to our water supply on a regular basis but yet we can't get grit & salt for icy roads?

    Does it take much to flouride in the system to have an effect?

    Plus why do the vast majority of our population have teeth like broken urinals if this stuff is meant to be helping?

    people should have a choice as to whether they want their water flouridated or not,but it is a hard one to pull off

    We sure are, my local water smells toxic, i'd say the water in Springfield tastes better, I'll don't mind paying for water but i'm not paying for the toxic shoite that smells like chemicals coming out of my tap.

    Look, as I said to you before, maybe you should just start brushing your teeth.

    I'm guessing you didn't watch the video I linked. I'm rewatching it as I hadn't seen it in ages. Anyway, go to 10:18 for myths associated with fluoridation.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    There's a legitimate debate to be had about flouridation, but the OP is so full of lies and misleading crap that it's obvious that the OP is a lunatic, tinfoil hat-wearing nutjob, so this thread isn't the place to have it...

    Suffice to say, toxicity is dose-dependent, so there's a difference between ingesting a tube of toothpaste, and a glass of flourinated water.


  • Posts: 3,505 [Deleted User]


    Sorry OP, but you're either scaremongering, or you've bought into someone else's scaremongering.

    As for your articles, they all come from a site dedicated to the dangers of fluoridation. Hardly a scientific approach.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,677 ✭✭✭Worztron

    I am not scaremongering.

    Why is water fluoridation used so little in the majority of developed countries?

    I take offense to those insults! They must be letting any old Tom, Dick and Harry be a moderator these days.

    I'm assuming the best, that scaremongering isn't your intent. I will say though, you don't really have much credibility at the moment. It is like a young earth creationist citing answers in genesis. Do better.

    Nah, he's right about making claims regarding the health effects of fluoride. It totally weakens the argument for discontinuing the process.

    It's been done here for 60 years.. Do you know a single person who has had any illness which was linked to fluoride?
