Is Fluoride in Drinking Water Safe?

The percentage of people with cavities is much smaller in countries that fluoridate water!

It’s in our tap water, toothpaste and even in tea. Fluoride has helped reduce cavities in children for decades. Still, more than 70 years after Grand Rapids, Michigan, became the first city to fluoridate its drinking water, the practice remains controversial. Some worry that fluoridated drinking water can lead to health issues, but what is the scientific consensus?

1. The Fluoride  contamination in water in U.P. and other parts of India is very high. The researchers found it is very bad for the Health of the people.

   We ,NOCER-INDIA found the News in a News paper .The News paper says that the people represented several petitions but they did not get any reply from the Officials from Government, The People are worrying to Drink water,.We have given this subject to Respected NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION. The NHRC had sent Letters to Government of U.P.The Government given Reply that they are studying on this subject and trying to Change the Situation. The Government accepted the Quantity of Fluoride contents is High.We think Flouride will make more for problem than gOOD to the people.Water contamination is to be checked,avoided from water since water is the essentialProduct for the Life of Human and all animals.

2. The Cavity Formation Theory is also now shifting - Look at Dogs.

   Why do they maintain healthy teeth, when they do not brush teeth or ingest Fluoride.

3. Scientific issues are:There is limitations of fluorides in the range of 0.5 to 1.5 ppm 

   Here we all must need fluorides ìn  Drinking Water which is essential for health ness.

   1. That is incorrect. Fluoride is never to be ingested - It works only by topical application. Drinking Fluoride is like Drinking Sunscreen.  Drinking fluoride causes a number of health issues and sensitivity intolerance / disruption in endocrine, 

4. This is no longer a controversy. It is a government propaganda during the WW2, known as Manhattan Projects revealed in classified documents. Fluoride is extremely reactive, as you see it in a Periodic Table, essential ingredient in making atomic bomb. Over 95% of EU rejected it, and yet their teeth just like anybody else's. Read or watch Bryson, BBC, Fluoride Deception. Book / YouTube available.

   1. So, think about it.  We all know that Fluoride is Toxic if ingested...so how does one treat public water if  Tiny new born babies drink it and adults drink it.  So how much do we put it to insure that those Tiny Babies are not ingesting too much...while at the same time put in enough to topically treat adults teeth...this is the conundrum in my opinion.   I never ever drink city water treated with both Fluoride and Chlorine and, I never get cavities since I was a child and was drinking city water with Fluoride in and got cavities

   2. Speaking of Dogs. If given the choice of drinking pure Rain water or Fluoride/Chlorine treated water, they always choose pure Rain water...end of story... Insects, if given the choice of Organic grain not treated with Pesticides and regular grains treated...they will always choose Organic...end of story

   3. Thyroid then affects Liver Functioning (Your Cholesterol Imbalance begins with it) - Please make sure you understand what you are posting:  http://www.thyroid.org/patient-thyroid-information/ct-for-patients/vol-5-issue-12/p-3/

   4. Just as you are endorsing some GMOs as they are somehow Palatable /Sustainable on LinkedIn Group Discussion, your understanding and thorough knowledge of GMO Public Health Consequence was entirely omitted  there as well - Please make sure you add more HEALTH CONSEQUENCE Background Info to back it up your Support in those toxic chemicals. Not just for short sighted, human glorification of Man Made TOXIC CHEMICALS. 

   5. You also want to note WHAT Fluoride DOES TO YOU, when you ingest it. I am not really sure you actually understand anything about Fluoride, and this educational video is American Chem Society, probably dominated by CHEM big corporations as sponsors,　（You seem to be Pro toxic chemicals),  but it only works topically, not internally by ingesting it.  Your DENTIST NEVER EVER ASK YOU TO INGEST Fluoride, because it is TOXIC.

      I am a bit surprised how you superficially interpreting such American CS marketing video.  I dont think you have any decent science knowledge of Fluoride by sharing such post as if Fluoridated Water has any thing to do with cavity prevention.  In addition, You seem to ignore the Public Health Consequence of Mass Medication through Municipal Water Supply - please share such post with care and thorough investigation of the matter, as well as with understanding of both sides of the topic. You have zero understanding of How THYROID gets affected by fluoride ingestion.   Also GOOGLE,

       " Dr. Phyllis Mullenix, who in 1995, published a very important work on the neurotoxic effects of fluoride in rat studies. "

       

      Anyone who's reading this, too, please be careful about this Fluoride endorsement. There is a huge bias involved. Please Google the name " Dr. Phyllis Mullenix, who in 1995, published a very important work on the neurotoxic effects of fluoride in rat studies."   Fluoride is not something to be ingested thru mouth. IF IT (F) WERE SAFE, WHY CAN YOU ONLY GET IT FROM DOCTORS? not the over the counter drug?  Think please. Critical Thinking is missing.
