Why do governments put fluoride into the water supply if we get enough fluoride from toothpaste? Is it necessary? Also, how are they complete sure it's safe? Scientists have been wrong before (saying sodium and fats are bad for you). Why should we be forced to drink this stuff when most other advanced nations DON'T put fluoride into their water supply?

The fluoride addition was an attempt to bolster dental health among populus
The actual fluoride itself is water soluble and in such a low concentration that toxicology evidence is non existent. You'll pass out any extra fluoride that remains assuming you even drink that much water. There isn't any evidence that fluoride in the water at the

Oh look. It's another dogma student. Fuck off.

What do you you want me to say? That fluoride is totally 100% toxic and everyone in the country who drinks it is really poisoned and dying of fluoride poisoning even though there's been no documented deaths at all from the sodium fluoride in the water?
You'd die of water poisoning before ever coming near the toxic effects of the fluoride

I'm not saying it's toxic. I'm just asking WHY we put it into water? We get it from toothpaste. We know scientists have been wrong before. Have we really studied the long-term effects on people? How can we be so sure that it doesn't cause problems?

I'm sure you'll get along well within the scientific community.

In other words, it exists in such low concentrations that it can't do anything at all, i.e. there is no reason to do it.
Unless it's homeopathic fluoride ;)

Clearly you imply it when you post a picture of a spook "fluoride alert" with a toxic symbol as your image
>yea this one scientist was wrong in the past with my erroneous example of sodium intake which we know Americans get way too much of that must mean any evidence that fluoride in the water is harmless over the last 60 years is false
No its in such low concentrations that it has no toxic effects at all
The ld50 of sodium fluoride is 70ppm or something stupidly huge. Most tap water is

Look at this. Countries with no water fluoridation do just as well with countries that do put fluoride into their water.
It's so pointless and we don't know the long term effects. Could it possible raise the risk of some diseases? We have no idea.
We should stop all fluoridation immediately. Even if it is perfectly safe it still costs money to do it.

Medication of the public water system should be illegal.
That is the only thing that is wrong here.
