Fluoridation Water Fluoridated Kills Fluoride
I think this is terrible news! Fluoride is a dangerous chemical, from everything I've read about it. There is a debate raging in Calgary about it, the US Dept of Health & Human Services is advocating lowering the levels in drinking water here, yet here is San Diego - who voted against it 60 years ago -- now having to begin adding it because of California law. Ridiculous.
QUOTE Fluoridation Opponents Not Impressed
The move by HSS to lower fluoride levels in drinking water met with kudos from the American Dental Association.
"This is a superb example of a government agency fulfilling its mission to protect and enhance the health of the American people," said American Dental Association President Raymond Gist, DDS. "The recommended levels for optimal fluoridation may be reduced, but the health benefits of fluoridation remain."
Opponents of fluoridated water, in contrast, were not impressed.
"[The federal government is] trying to keep the issue focused on teeth, when the science is becoming clearer and clearer that fluoride damages other tissues," said Paul Connett, PhD, executive director of the Fluoride Action Network based in Canton, New York. His group asserts that health risks associated with low to moderate doses of fluoride include joint pain, skin rash, reduced thyroid activity, bone cancer, and even IQ deficits. A recent study published in a peer-reviewed journal of the federal National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences suggests such a link between fluoride and intelligence.
Dr. Connett, a professor emeritus of environmental chemistry at St. Lawrence University in Canton, told Medscape Medical News that the United States should stop fluoridating water and instead address the root causes of tooth decay - poverty and poor diet.
"There is no difference in dental caries between fluoridated and nonfluoridated countries, fluoridated and nonfluoridated states, and fluoridated and nonfluoridated cities," added Dr. Connett.

Fluoride Kills - Fluoridated Water - Fluoridation
Why do we live in an age of fighting against ourselves? We worry over fluoridated water and at the same time consume soda, alcohol and other products that do worst damage to our systems. Am I suspicious of the water I drink? Yes, but I cannot afford to buy bottled water so I take my chances.

Water fluoridation confirmed to prevent dental decay in US children and adolescents. The fluoridation of America's drinking water was a great public health achievement in the twentieth century but there are few studies from the last three decades investigating the impact of water fluoridation on US dental health. A recent study evaluated associations between the availability of community water fluoridation and dental decay experience in US child and adolescent populations. Source 9s.
