Answer:

It is added to the water to reduce tooth decay.

Fluoride is not bad for you. It is considered by most public health experts to be one of the major advances in public health of the last century. Unfortunately, it has become politicized and the target of internet conspiracy theorists. What one must remember is that everything is toxic (even water and oxygen) at high enough levels. "The dose makes the poison" and so when reading the claims of people citing support to the claims of the evils of fluoride one must pay attention to make sure they are not citing industrial exposures, high dose supplements, etc etc.

  • It does reduce tooth decay dramatically.
  • It saves society money by promoting better health.
  • It is associated with less gum disease, which may be a contributing factor in Heart disease.
  • Nearly all dental fluorosis (mottling of the teeth from too much fluoride) is from eating toothpaste or taking too much supplementation in pill form, not from drinking water.
  • There is no credible evidence that it causes cancer.
  • There is no credible evidence that fluoride from drinking water causes osteoporosis or fractures (taking high dose pills can and studies of drinking water are on-going).
  • There is no credible evidence that it causes birth defects, ADD or other toxicity at the doses found in water.
  • It is not plausible that dentist are uninformed about such a central issue of dental health, especially one that is so publicly and actively debated. If the stat about dentists in areas with fluoridated water is true that is probably because those areas are more affluent and health conscious.

The earliest occurrence of fluoridated drinking water on Earth was found in Russia's gulags and then Germany's Nazi prison camps. The Stahlin & Hitler had little concern about fluoride's supposed effect on children's teeth; their alleged reason for mass-medicating water with sodium fluoride was to sterilize humans and force the people in their concentration camps into calm submission so that they could be 'managed' easier. Have you never wondered why they lined up so compliantly in those old newsreel pictures to be shot and bundled into pits?

Notwithstanding this effect of fluoridation, another worrying symptom is a 10-30 point drop in IQ levels, particularly in children exposed to fluoride.

You must ask yourselves the question that if this is known as absolute fact, which it is, then why is it in the drinking water of our nation. I can only come to the logical conclusion that it is to have the same effects as set out above.

Ref : The Crime and Punishment of I. G. Farben by Joseph Borkin

USAF Major George R. Jordan testified before Un-American Activity committees of Congress in the 1950's that in his post as U.S.Soviet liaison officer, the Soviets openly admitted to...

"Using the fluoride in the water supplies in their gulags (concentration camps), to make the prisoners stupid, docile, and subservient."

Fluoride, or Hydrofluorosilic acid (H 2 SiF 6 ), is not naturally occurring but is a waste by-product derived from the industrial manufacture of aluminium, zinc, uranium, aerosols, insecticides, fertilizers, plastics, lubricants and pharmaceuticals.

It is also a Part II Poison under the UK Poisons Act 1972 ranking in toxicity above lead and just below arsenic.

Fluoride is one of the basic ingredients in both PROZAC (FLUoxetene Hydrochloride) and Sarin nerve gas (Isopropyl-Methyl-Phosphoryl FLUoride).

American toothpastes containing fluoride are by law obliged to state, '"WARNING: Keep out of reach of children under 6 years of age. If you accidentally swallow more than used for brushing, seek professional help or contact a poison control center immediately." its in our food, water, soda, juices, teas, wine, preservatives, nano-technology (carcinogenic); gm technology (carcinogenic in rats for generations - messes up dna); irradiation; Aspartame etc; its in our makeup - Mercury as a preservative; its in our vaccinations- mercury as preservative; its on our clothes - formaldehyde; its in our skincare and hairproducts - parabens etc/petrochemicals.

yep, i think its possible we are being poisoned, systematically. you see that they poison our air, [chemtrails] clothes, food, VACCINES, mercury fillings are EXTREMELY toxic, mercury light bulbs?! etc.. but do it SLOWLY so that no one will ever suspect.

if you want to know who 'they' are - two books might interest you: William Bramley's Gods of Eden (interesting bit about bubonic plague outbreaks, germ warfare and ufos); and Jim Marr's Rule by Secrecy.

they also corrupt our medicine so that when we go to them for a cure from the poison all around us, they'll give us more poison and call it medicine.

this is what happens.

toxic chemotherapy drugs to treat cancer, that nearly (or do mostly) kill the patient/destroy the immune system. (they give the injections wearing masks, goggles, plastic aprons and gloves so it doesnt splash on them, yet they inject it into people's veins. its disposed of in special plastic bags labeled TOXIC in big letters.)

there are plenty of natural cures for cancer. and many other illnesses like Diabetes heart disease obesity etc. simple mostly. dont eat meat, dairy or sugar. eat vegetables, beans/lentils etc for protein/eggs; fruit, nuts and seeds and grains. thats all. its that simple. they dont publicize this much either, hence all our health crises.

other drugs they give are also modified from nature - therefore the body rejects them and you get side effects - so you go for a cure, and they give you more poison. the only reason drugs are modified from nature is to make money. you cant make money from a natural plant substance because u cant patent/own the rights to it. so if you figure out that mangoes could help cure cancer, theres no money in telling everyone to go out and eat mangoes; u need to synthesize a drug from the mango first. friend of mine is a research scientist doing just that actually.

Natural flouraid decrees dental caries same as added flouraid?

It all has to do with the concentration of FLUORIDE. Through extensive research over many decades, it has been determined that the optimal fluoride concentration in drinking water supplies to reduce the incidence of dental cavities in the population is 1 part per billion. If this concentration occurs naturally in a water supply, nothing needs to be done. If the naturally occurring fluoride is below the optimal concentration, addition fluoride can be added as necessary.


What is an antifluoridationist?

An antifluoridationist is a person who is opposed to the addition of fluoride to the public water supply.
