How do you feel about fluoride?

[pedrog]

What I don't get is there's a lot of opposition to putting it in water supplies yet never any discussion on not adding it. I keep hearing this teeth argument but if the damn stuff is already in toothpaste then there's no need to add it to the water supply. Also, aren't there laws against medication without consent?

I feel that fluoride is love, fluoride is life. Without it we would see a significant amount of people with bad teeth.

Fluorosis can occur easily in young children, that's why young kids should refrain from using toothpaste until they learn to properly spit out the toothpaste instead of swallowing it.

.... Isn't that just down to not being stupid and parents teaching them how to brush their teeth properly than flouride itself?

The rapidly growing teeth of young kids and the germinal bud teeth (permanent teeth) are susceptible to it.  That combined with stupid parents can lead to the discoloration.  So it's 2 factors.  Once the kids are past 3 years they should be OK.

Not really that bothered, tried some fluoride free toothpaste once and it tasted like shit  

Read on some tinfoil sites that it can lower your IQ, more than likely bullshit.

It's Toxic waste

It's Toxic waste

Actually, it's a naturally occurring ion...

[rigel]

It depends on how much fluoride you assume...

Little fluoride is good for your teeth; much fluoride is bad for everything.

I was forced to eat fluoride pills in elementary school. They accused me of being the most disruptive student ever.

Fortunately I took up smoking in high school and the nicotine has since cleaned the aluminum plaque the fluoride had glued to the neurons in my brain off.

Sucks for the people who don't consume niccotine as they put floride in all processed foods and spray us liberally with aluminum aerosols.

The brain plaque does serve a perpose beyond reducing intellectual capacity and motor function. The aluminum plaque allows for better reception of RF waves and increased brainwave entrainment. The RF signals are bounced off the aluminum aerosol clouds that are sprayed.

I didn't know there would be a discussion about this element. Didn't know it was racy.

You guys know they put chlorine in the water too?  Chlorine and fluorine are both very similar elements.  Go worry about that now.

As I understand it, there is both naturally occurring fluoride which is healthy in that amount, and non-naturally occurring fluoride that's essentially bought from China, for the most part, as toxic waste and dumped into the city water supply and passed off as the naturally occurring stuff.  Studies have been done on this compound and have shown that the benefit of having "healthy teeth" (and by that I mean people are getting what's called 'fluorosis' from too much fluoride which fucks up their teeth, and there seems to be no study showing that nations which do fluoride generally have better teeth than nations which don't fluoridate) does not outweigh the health loss and decreased IQ.

Ignoring all of that, libertarians generally understand this better than anyone else: if they're forcing you to take it, it's not good for you.  The argument as to whether we should fluoridate or not is a red herring; they sell fluoride pills that those who think fluoride is good for them can take, it would be far more efficient--as is anything in this world--for individuals to decide for themselves what they will put in their bodies.  There is no debate about that; the debate is between whether or not we actually need to force everyone to do it or not do it, to which the decision is obvious to anyone who still has the ability to empathize.

Da fuck type of logic is that?

Well, the fucked up logic starts around the word "I".

Bruce Wayne's logic is worst logic. ._.

[Kipsy89]

the CDC and ADA recommend against using fluoride... so...

[cech4204a]

I don't use much of the toothpaste, and i don't understand why flouride is such a big deal, any proven bad side effects there or what?

[newflesh]

I don't lose any sleep over drinking fluoride, I'm more worried about water contaminated with heavy metals / anti-depressants etc
