Just as you are smoking it, drinking it, eating it, and eating it in foods that were made out of fluoridated water. It's toxic waste, so tell me what is the point in it?

    It's used on rat's It is used to protect there teeth though?

    We are overdosed on all sorts of fluoride. Why is there so much emphasis to overdose us with it? Oh it's to protect our teeth right? I wonder why people are so docile and why so many of us have cancer these days? Surely it's not the fluoride. If it's in small doses, then it's not protecting our teeth then? Surely they could of thought of some other mineral that's not so poisonous to protect our teeth.

    The elite really love to protect our teeth.. What is the campaign, war on tooth decay? Like war on terrorism?

    Looking forward to your response. "grins teeth" :D

    Irish tap water contains .6mg - .8mg fluoride per litre

    the lethal dose for most adult humans is estimated at 5 to 10 g (which is equivalent to 32 to 64 mg/kg elemental fluoride/kg body weight).[1][2][3] Ingestion of fluoride can produce gastrointestinal discomfort at doses at least 15 to 20 times lower (0.2–0.3 mg/kg) than lethal doses.


    for an average Irish man weighing 12 stone (78kg)

    26-39litres can produce gastrointestinal discomfort but you wont notice because the h2o will have killed you by around the 10th liter

    41666litres of Irish tap water contains a lethal dose of fluoride!!!

    It is still poison.

    You are drinking tap water all the time, it is in food made with fluoridated water. It is in ciggerettes. It's added to foods. It's added to toothpaste. It's chemical toxic waste that has no benefit to the human body whatsoever.

    The argument is that it protects teeth. It doesn't because you are swallowing it and once fluoride gets in the body it accumulates and the kidneys cannot flush all of it out especially given just how much fluroide people in this country are consuming daily.

    The government don't f*cking care about your teeth, so get real.

    Been intelligent and responsible with your own body, isn't been paranoid.

    You are over dosed with fluoride constantly once it's in tap water. Think how much of it absorbs into your body in the morning.
    • Processed cereal
    • drinking a glass of water
    • smoking ciggarettes
    • having a shower

    That's before you even start your day.....

    It accumulates in the body, and like other heavy metals it will eventually trigger cancer in the body.

    The only dilemma I have is that it's still in our tap water. I am realistic,we can't remove all chemicals and poisons but we can control or keep it at levels that don't hinder our bodies. For example i have to use this shiit for taking a shower, and I am within my rights not to have this shiit been put on my body as I wash myself. It's f*cking absurd that this goes on. Completely a breach of our human rights, it's a crime against the people of this world, to actively poison people.

    You still haven't answered my questions. So ignoring it doesn't stand to you well.

    I didnt see you ask me any questions, you typed false statements.

    what are your questions?

    did you know red meat, lentils, beans, poultry, fish, leaf vegetables, watercress all contain a heavy metal called iron, which in high doses can be toxic

    But I can choose what I want in my body, not fluoride when it's pumped into my tap water. Iron is different to sodium fluoride (and has benefits) as you need Iron because it makes up most of your blood to transport food and nutrients around the body. Not all metals/minerals are needed. Some are needed in different required amounts.

    Where the f8ck is common sense in this country? I can't understand why people defend fluoridation. It's like a broken record stuck on repeat.

    no not by law, you have limited choice. certain natural herbs arent legally allowed in Ireland, but fine in the UK.
    I believe all drugs should be legalized( with heavy regualtions)

    Im not defending it, just pointing out the flaws in your 'logic'.

    I don't care what the law states. I am not a slave to anyone. I am responsible for my own health and body, No one tells me what to do with my body or tell me what I can or cannot take.

    Except of course for the fact that they do.

    Whether you want them to or not, the laws of the land apply to you and all the Freeman nonsense in the world won't change that.

    So if you want to take heroin or cocaine or if you want an abortion in this country then it's a no-no for you.

    I'm still waiting of course to hear you explain how fluoride controls people's minds! But I imagine I will never get a response on that which makes any sense, seeing as it actually doesn't! :pac:

    No it does not. If someone inteferes with my free will, they will be dealt with because I don't interfere with other's. So I know where I stand.
    So if you want to take heroin or cocaine or if you want an abortion in this country then it's a no-no for you.

    I do what I will with my choices. If it affects or harms others, then it's a no no. I am not a woman, so I can't have an abortion. I don't do drugs. So neither apply, again.

    You can deny the issues here all you want. But the issue is not dealt with until sodium fluoride is removed from our food and water. Putting sodium fluoride into our water is not acceptable.

    If I, or anyone else for that matter, think it is wrong to ingest fluoride in large amounts, I am hardly going to want to ingest heroin or cocaine, making your analogy a bit silly.

    It calcifies the pineal gland and causes brain damage. Why do you think the Nazis used it in concentration camps and why people are so docile in the western world. Especially places like here and USA. It's clearly simple to understand what is going on when you have awareness. But it's you who is deliberately ignoring the facts.

    Anyone supporting fluoridation, are supporting the mass population of this country to be poisoned. It's not something someone with any sane mind can just sit around and ignore as to what sodium fluoride does once it's in our bodies.

    We've covered a lot of facts here about water fluoridation. I don't know why you keep asking for more. To summarise, here are some of the important ones:

    * Ireland is practically the only EU country that gets public fluoridated water (over 70% of the population), apart from parts in the UK (about 11%) and Spain (about 10%). Do Irish people have better, healthier teeth than the rest of Europe?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoridation_by_country

    * Fluoridation is unethical and a bad medical practice. It's a chemical that is neither licensed nor regulated as a medicine that's added to the public drinking water for the purpose of public health. So, essentially, it's unsupervised, unconsented mass medication using an unlicensed and unregulated substance.

    This is partially opinion, but hydrofluosilicic acid is not a medicinal product, and is therefore not regulated by the IMB. According to Minister for Health Noonan, 1996, "Hydrofluosilicic acid is one form in which fluoride/s are available. Others include sodium fluoride and sodium-silico fluoride. All are obtained either as (a) primary products only or as (b) byproducts of the fertiliser industry."

    http://oireachtasdebates.oireachtas.ie/debates%20authoring/DebatesWebPack.nsf/takes/dail1996042500042#N4


    * The dose cannot be controlled. Once the fluoride is added to the water, the amount of fluoride a person ingests cannot be controlled, simply because different people drink different amounts of water and get fluoride from lots of different sources with lots of different concentrations. As I said before, one person could be getting 800% more fluoride than the next, simply by drinking 8 times more water during the day. You don't need a degree in chemistry to understand that.

    This is methematical and common sense.

    * Fluoride has absolutely no nutritious value to the body. No disease, not even caries, is caused by a fluoride deficiency. In fact, there is sufficient evidence to suggest that fluoride inhibits or interferes with important natural biological processes within the body.

    National Research Council (1993). Health Effects of Ingested Fluoride. National Academy Press, Washington DC. p. 30.

    * Fluoride, no matter what dose, accumulates in the body over time. Only about 50% of daily intake is excreted through the kidneys (a healthy adult kidney, that is). The rest is absorbed by bones, teeth, and glands. At the very least, this can lead to dental and skeletal fluorosis over time. Children, the elderly and people with impaired kidney function are at a much higher risk because their bodies absorb much more fluoride.

    * Tooth decay does not go up when fluoridation is stopped. An increase in tooth decay has not been shown in areas where fluoridation has been stopped. This means there's absolutely no valid reason to keep doing it.

    * Young kids are being over-exposed to fluoride. New borns and infants alone are being exposed to fluoride just when their bodies and organs are at critical development stages. Less than half of Irish mothers breastfeed their children, and the babies getting formula milk are exposed to much more fluoride than breastfed babies. Natural breast milk contains only about 0.006 ppm of fluoride, which also backs up the point that fluoride has no nutritious benefits.

    * Many countries oppose fluoridation because of environmental, safety and/or ethical reasons. More and more scientists, doctors, dentists and other experts are opposing fluoridation. In a public survey here in Ireland, 45% of people expressed concern. This shows us that there is a concern and all of the above facts SHOULD tell us that our concerns are justified.

    This is common knowledge and common sense.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoridation_by_country

    There are a lot more facts out there, and anyone genuinely interested should take a little bit of time to educate themselves and draw a proper, educated conclusion with regards to the advantages and disadvantages of water fluoridation, instead of echoing the same lines over and over again - things like "Everything is toxic in doses" and "It's all about the dose". We're not talking about occassional exposure, we're talking about regular and constant exposure over a very long period of time.

    Not interested in backing any of that up? It's only polite to show where your claims are coming from. If they're good sources, then you might have a point.

    A fact (derived from the Latin factum, see below) is something that has really occurred or is actually the case. The usual test for a statement of fact is verifiability, that is whether it can be proven to correspond to experience. Standard reference works are often used to check facts. Scientific facts are verified by repeatable experiments.
