Flouride
Aside from being a communist plot, fluoride is bad, wrong and should be discontinued for the following reasons:
- Flouride in the public water supply is essentially forced medication.
- Drinking flouridated water has no documented positive effects.
- Flouride is a toxic substance with health consequences.
- Most of the tampered with water ends up in the ground as pollution.
Forced medication
All health issues aside - it is basically forced mediation. Think about that one for a second: Based on some very old and very shaky evidence you are continually dosed at a suggested measurement that is very close to the amount that would cause long term damage. What if someone decided that you get a mild sedative that you have to take every day... you'd think of that differently.
Health Effects
I recently read an interview with one of Canada's leading proponents of flouride, who has recently changed his mind.
"Mottled and brittle teeth," Dr. Limeback told me. "In Canada we are now spending more money treating dental fluorosis than we do treating cavities. That includes my own practice."
One of the most obvious living experiments today, Dr. Limeback believes, is a proof-positive comparison between any two Canadian cities. "Here in Toronto we've been fluoridating for 36 years. Yet Vancouver - which has never fluoridated - has a cavity rate lower than Toronto's." ... And, he pointed out, cavity rates are low all across the industrialized world including Europe, which is 98% fluoride free. Low because of improved standards of living, less refined sugar, regular dental checkups, flossing and frequent brushing.
Interview with: Dr. Hardy Limeback, B.Sc., Ph.D in Biochemistry, D.D.S., head of the Department of Preventive Dentistry for the University of Toronto, and president of the Canadian Association for Dental Research.
Moreover, Flouride has been banned in many countries already based on the fact that Flouride is toxic and has not proven to actually help with preventing tooth decay. These countries include China, Belgium, Finland, Germany, Denmark, Hungary, Japan and more. Belgium has even gone as far as to ban products containing flouride.
