Story at-a-glance
A Harvard meta-analysis funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has concluded that water fluoridation significantly lowers IQ scores in children, and may be a neurotoxicant that affects brain development
More than 23 human studies and 100 animal studies have linked fluoride to brain damage
Fluoride has immunosuppressive effects at low dosages, which can raise your risk of chronic disease, including cancer. Long-lost research linking fluoride to cancer has resurfaced in a Dutch film clip featuring Dr. Dean Burk, co-founder of the US National Cancer Institute and head of its cytochemistry department for over 30 years. In a taped interview, he equates water fluoridation to public murder

OK you chemistry experts... How do we respond to the suggestion..

In a post on GM Corn and Roundup, the suggestion was made that when WE were at school, asthma was a rare ailment, whereas today, being healthy is more rare.

The report suggests the following damage linked to Flouride in Water.
Reduction in nicotinic acetylcholine receptors
Damage to your hippocampus
Formation of beta-amyloid plaques (the classic brain abnormality in Alzheimer's disease)
Reduction in lipid content
Damage to purkinje cells
Exacerbation of lesions induced by iodine deficiency
Impaired antioxidant defense systems
Increased uptake of aluminum
Accumulation of fluoride in your pineal gland

Studies have shown that fluoride toxicity can lead to a wide variety of health problems, including:
Increased lead absorption
Disrupts synthesis of collagen
Hyperactivity and/or lethargy
Muscle disorders
Thyroid disease Arthritis
Dementia Bone fractures
Lowered thyroid function
Bone cancer (osteosarcoma)
Inactivates 62 enzymes and inhibits more than 100
Inhibited formation of antibodies
Genetic damage and cell death
Increased tumor and cancer rate Disrupted immune system
Damaged sperm and increased infertility

Gee Wiz, Forget about locking up your daughters... .. You dare not leave them at home, drinking the bloody water.

Conspiracy theorists actually suggest that Water-Fluoridation, is actually intended to reduce the average life expectancy of those "In the West"..

We must ALL have asked ourselves the question - WHY is there Sooo much cancer these days..?
Perhaps this might be an answer..

Good job tracker!
It is also a fact that the calcium fluoride causes arthritis. In the ACT, the government entered into a contract to purchase this industrial waste byproduct because they believed it helped prevent tooth decay. When it became known that there were undesirable side effects, they tried to break the contract but shied away under threat of a massive law suit.
I find that when I am in a location away from fluoridated water for a long period, (six + months ) , my arthritis is minimal but upon returning to the city, it returns with a vengeance in no time at all.

Just thought it worthwhile to keep this thread alive.

I would like to know more, my boss has just recently been diagnosed with cancer. He dosent smoke or drink, eats really healthy so i have to wonder why would he get cancer what else like this could be causing people to get sick.

There are many contributors to cancer, not just fluoride. Consuming the by-product of aluminium smelting which is also found in rat poison, is not a sane approach to life, sadly the majority just do what they are told, never do their own research and suffer the consequences.

The diet of the average person is a basket full of cancerous and health debilitating foods, take aways, processed, deep fried, diaries, additives and chemical enhancers. Now many people cook their foods in microwaves, which is an insane thing to do, irradiated foods are extremely carcinogenic and it's been proven many times, microwaves leak radiation like a sieve. All contribute to cancer, arthritis, circulatory disease, organ failure, colds and flu. Then you can add air, water, ground pollution, chemically saturated dwellings and work places. You only have to walk down the street of an urban area and you will have ingested loads of carcinogens from vehicles, EMF's, microwaves and much more. Just look at all the people sitting on sidewalks drinking and eating, as vehicles spewing gases go past them, nothing like air bathing in smog.

Luckily haven't had any chemically fluoridated water during my life because have always refused it and would never live in a city or controlled water supply area and always carry a small water filter with me when travelling. Plus only drink and cook with filtered water, which comes from the sky and is the cleanest on the planet where I live.

Dax is right, there are a lot more things that can cause cancer, so avoiding smoking and drinking and still getting cancer doesn't mean you can suddenly blame fluoride.

Even the everyday cleaning and personal care products that you buy in the supermarkets, a large proportion of them have questionable ingredients with links to cancer. Sodium Lauryl Sulphate is commonly found in shampoos, toothpastes, and laundry products, and can be contaminated by Dioxane, a known carcinogen. And that's just one of many.

That being said, there is definitely evidence that fluoride in drinking water can cause us harm. Most "experts" will argue that the levels are really low, and that without fluoride we see much higher incidence of tooth decay. But there are other ways to reduce tooth decay such as a high intake of minerals - we regularly drink a colloidal mineral (while avoiding fluoride in water and toothpaste) and our teeth have never been better.

The most important thing is to do your own research and don't blindly trust people, even if they are an authority. The more you can reduce your overall toxic exposure, the better you will be!
