Bug Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 The National Research Council report referred to in the article talks about levels of fluoride resulting from natural runoff and industrial polution. The lower levels produced by artificial fluoridation are "beyond the scope of this report". So right away the Scientific American article is twisting the truth there. It referenced current scientific studies. A quick search of pub med didn't find anything besides high doses in rats. The most current one was a negative result. So in short, Scientific American has lost credibility in my book. Basically fluoride does have related toxicities in high doses. Like salt, chlorine, and dihydrogen monoxide. Should we ban the addition of chlorine to our drinking water? In Missoula we drank surface water that came from Rattlesnake creek without treatment until the mid sixties. Then they started flouridating by adding it manually (dumped big sacks I heard) in the evening between 7 and 9PM. Then giardia was detected in the source and we went to well water. The well water is treated with chlorine and flouride and tastes awful compared to the old days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choada_Boy Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Basically fluoride does have related toxicities in high doses. Like salt, chlorine, and dihydrogen monoxide. Hydrogen hydroxide, another contaminant found in most water supplies, has also been shown to be a hazardous inhalant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clavote Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Back in the day my mother used to get bottled drinking water with Fluoride. Sparkletts water. Now, many years later....My brother gets cancer and so did I. It's gone now. But now I wonder if fluoride was the cause. I definitely think the brush on application is the safest way now.

Bug Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 All three of my brothers and I used to eat flouride tablets every night. None of us have cancer but our mother does and she didn't eat any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
