The dental professionals should be embarrassed to ignore the scientific research from the last 10 to 20 years. We expect better from them. (www.fluoridealert.org)
Many city and state newspapers have reported on the failure of fluoridation such as the Boston Globe and the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Boston’s water system has been fluoridated since 1978 (Boston Globe)
"City to launch battle against dental 'crisis'"

About 90 percent of 107 Boston high school students were found to need dental treatment, according to a 1996 unpublished study. That report also estimated that the city's students had four times more untreated cavities than the national average,.:

 "Cincinnati has had fluoridated water since 1979."
The Cincinnati Enquirer  ----    Special Report: Cincinnati's dental crisis
Shortage, cost can be torture for poor
The number of urgent dental cases in the city's health clinics has nearly tripled since 1990, jumping from 3,437 to 10,030.

Similar reports on the failure of fluoridation come from Michigan, New York, Connecticut, Kentucky and others. Many cities also have reported the same such as Detroit, Pittsburgh, New York and Washington, DC .

Wasn't fluoride used in Nazi concentration camps to dumb down the inmates - make them less likely to revolt?

It's classed as a toxin.

If you ask me, they've always known that it was bad for people...

I suspect it was the Americans who showed the Germans that Fluoride
controls people by making them docile and less likely to revolt.
It works really well look at how the Americans are laying down while their freedom is being taken from them.
I know for certain it was the Americans that showed the Germans about eugenics. Fluoride I am not positive about but it may well have been Americans.

23 studies show lower IQ but this is for exposure to young children and before birth. The issue for adults more leans to beta amaloid plack causing memory issues as Julie Varnier 1999 study showed showed at 1ppm r4ats kidneys and brains destroyed with 80% dying before 1 year but 100% having damage. This study was repeated 3 times with same results.
The FDA has not to date reviewed or approved ever any ingested fluoride ever. The thousands of studies claimed do not exist on the actual product used. H2SiF6 is AWWA b703-06 used in 92% or more of fluoridation and is a toxic soup direct from pollution scrubbers from phosphate plants. Unmentioned to the public is the same mines also used to produce huge tonnage of uranium until they lost money so after 1998 leave all the uranium in the many products. Unmentioned and even denied up until 1998. Now the specification shows of list of radioactive contaminates never released to the public. It is a public record they claim they do not have but it is the official standard they operate by. Maybe they lie. Only a fool would drink toxic soup from a old uranium mine. Even diluted. Half of all fluoride stays in your body for life in your bones with every dose you take for life. Over 50 your kidneys reject less and with diabetics also.
But the CDC and EPA both admit babies are at greatest risk of all and the ADA Nov 9 2006 warned to avoid fluoride water for infant formula and the CDC did the same. The only problem is neither have done press releases yet to tell the public. It is not part of a public outreach but they do warn at the public health deptament to always used fluoridated water for your baby. WIC also and healthy start and not a single formula maker puts the warning on the can of formula. Nestle will warn only if you ask. I have talked to all of them over 4 years now with no change to warn the public from those that should care the most. Most dentists will not warn either but instead warn to use fluoridated water. http://www.fluoridealert.org http://www.waterloowatch.com http://www.iaomt.org Read the government science and peer reviewed hidden from the public. Protect yourself as those paid to protect are sleeping on the job.

This is such scare tactics, you Americans believe whatever you are told. We've had flouridation in Australia for over fifty years and there has been no effects except that people have less tooth decay. Stop jumping at shadows and go out and read the facts.

Agree that Lozza is the one who should read up on the facts. But if you are getting your facts from any mainstream news source it will be more like propaganda. Study your source before you read anything. BTW, my grandchildren who drink well-water and not fluoridated city water were PRESCRIBED VITAMINS WITH FLUORIDE by their doctor from birth. And the oldest child has had cavity after cavity even in his baby teeth even though he was never allowed to eat sweets and such.

None of this means anything when you come to comprehend what comes next and the real reasons for the global turmoil:

WARNING!!!!! ONLY WATCH IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS COMING NEXT!!!

For those needing more well referenced data go to http://www.iaomt.org and for the EPA union fight against fluoridation go to http://www.nteu280.org . this has the history of the headquarters discovering fraud by management and their lawsuit in 1986 and repeated times they asked to halt fluoridation. The number of professional science EPA unions has increased over the 25 years with 19 now on record as of 29 Feb 2008. In 2005 11 asked congress to halt immediately and did the science to show the proper scientific goal should be the same as other cumulative toxins arsenic and lead. ZERO. Lead is less toxic then fluoride with a max of 15ppb but fluoride 4000ppb and arsenic 10ppb. This is insane stupid as arsenic is just slightly more toxic. Also the fluoridation chemical is the main source of both arsenic and lead in many water systems. H2SiF6 is exceptional corrosive and super at leaching lead from brass and solder and even copper and beyond destructive with some disinfectants used in the US. The EPA knew and did not warn of this risk when Washington Dc in 2000 changed disinfectants and had lead immediately hundreds and thousands over the limit. They hid this from the public for almost three years an did really did not claim to solve it until 2004. They did warn 25,000 homes in 2003 but only after a employee leaked the data and they fired her. They did 100 million in pipe repairs only to make it much worse as they did it all wrong with no testing. They could pass for dishonest idiots. Chloramines can destroy pipes and if PH go acidic or too much ammonia are much worse. This all happens in the real world. The CDC and EPA and DC health department all joined forces to do a cover up and refused to pay the water corrosion expert they hired to prove the cause as he refused to aid in a cover up. This year Marc Edwards of Virginia Tech did author a study proving lead toxicity did happen in spite of the health department losing the 2003 lead data. I am starting to believe the CDC management do not have souls or care about anything except policy. Certainly not the public. They made Bernie Madoff the 60 Billion dollar con man look almost honest by comparison.
http://www.fluoridealert.org and http://www.waterloowatch.com or google fluoride class action for a lawyer doing class actions against cities pro bono. Due diligence is the miminal obligation for a public servant. Most fall short on protecting the public. Most management do protect themselves well.

The Nazis used fluoride in drinking water prison camps to make the prisoners docile and passive. Maybe in communities which have been fluoridated for years, the citizens have a harder time resisting even after they learn the truth that fluoridation is ineffective and dangerous to health.

Food issues-- 200 food groups now are fumigated with fluoride termite tenting toxic chemicals. If it is good enough to kill pests then it must be safe for humans ,right. Under the claim it was not a green house gas very fast approval was given skiping the usual long safety testing. Surprise, this year 3 top research programs proved it is a super effective green house gas with a 40 year or longer life and thousands of times more potent then most. The double triple whammy.
But the really ugly part is it leaves huge residues in all the food products exposed in processing and storage facilities. The numbers left make it more suitable for rat bait but they said at the EPa this only happens maybe once every six months so most will be lucky to not get the toxic batch. This is not a joke. I though it was at first as I felt even government could not be that stupid. I was very wrong.
Grain products are allowed between 70ppm-130ppm with any processed grain product at 70ppm . Like a cake mix. Many nuts are allowed in the 20-30 range and to very top loser food is dried eggs allowed under 900ppm and I note some batches have been rejected as too high but then it is rare they test any. This is very close to toothpaste with a warning to call poison control if more then a small pea sized gob is swallowed. They do not warn the military to up chuck your load of dried eggs if you get a toxic batch. I though IED's only killed our troops but now we must wonder if the FDA is a sleeper cell of criminals more deadly then radical Islam. Or is it the CDC or the EPA management. Remember 19 EPa unions now ask congress for immediate moratorium for fluoridation. Back in 1985 the discovered fraud by management and congress just does not seem to care Yet. A federal lawsuit was rejected in 1986. Something stinks and is very rotten in this whole misguided fraud.

The powers that be should have a legal obligation of implied safety for all that use the water in a normal manner such as drinking and food processing and beverage dilution. In the US the EPA refused to consider those medically at risk for toxins or any drinking larger then normal intakes. They also only admitted one disease caused by fluoride intake and only the final stage of skeletal fluorisis where the spine is fused and the person is hunched over in pain. They refused to consider the two painful disabling stages leading up to the total disablility. The current intakes do cause the first two stages to many but most doctors in the US have never heard of skeletal fluorisis so never diagnosis correctly. The person still has painful joint problems but just are misinformed what causes it. This is the group I was in as the EPA did admit this would happen to anyone drinking 1 gallon a day very likely . Top 1% risk at 1 gal for a 170 pound male. They also used incorrect dose data for decades which should have been 10mg for 10 years put person at risk of this happening. Instead they claimed 20-80mg because they did some math wrong from the original data in a conversion from KG. This was corrected in 87 but still the unsafe numbers are used by many. They treat this science like keystone cops or circus clowns or maybe just con men who make stupid mistakes on purpose. There is huge pressure by the ADa to maintain policy as huge lawsuits could happen for the huge damage this stupid policy has caused that will live on for decades. The CDC oral health division does not have a single toxicolist just dentists like ADA central. In the US just a very few dentists will even treat the poor as the pay is even poorer. In my county actually 4 out of over 200 dentists even treat one patient child on medicaid. This is ugly failure and fluoridation is the smoke and mirrors that dentists care. If they really did they would treat the poor. 80% of the cavities happen to 25% of the kids. The poor. Fluoridation gives them the second gift of discolored teeth and blacks have double the damage and much uglier damage. 45,000 of 49,000 poor kids in my county are under served said the county health who for years did not have a single public health doctor. Now we have one. Barely a drop in the bucket to solve the problem for a couple thousand. This is typical in our big poor black inner cities fluoridated from the beginning. Only a fool can not see this is failure. Kids need good nutrition and a dentist who cares and a caring parent to take care of basics. Instead our dentists and government poison people with a useless cumulative toxin in systemic doses. Most are overdosed now receiving 5 times more then just 3 decades ago in one government study. SO many contaminated foods and dental products besides the water.

To come to think about it, the Australians consume it and they rounded up their guns without so much as a peep out of them.
So it is very effective !
