Allegations that fluorinated city water seriously harmed horses - Page 2

However, the study we worked on did not focus on brain development.  It appears that new studies show that fluoride may affect brain development in unborn children:

The most recent study on fluoride relied on more than two dozen previous studies documenting the effects of the chemical on the brains. Researchers concluded that future investigations should examine information on exposure by unborn children and neurobehavioral performance.

So, IMO more research is needed.  

Also want to add that new developments and new technology keep changing scientific discoveries.  The system the U.S. has in place for researching possible health hazards is very good, but can never be perfect.  Here's how it works.  Private scientific laboratories conduct research on chemicals that humans are exposed to by testing rodents.  The rodents are exposed to low, medium, and high doses for years.  Then, at the end of the study, the rodents are necropsied.  The lab then makes microscopic slides of all the vital organs of every rodent in the study.  Each slide is recorded and examined by pathologists who look for any abnormality (diseases like luekemia or cancer).  After each rodent is evaluated (hundreds of rodents), a lengthy lab report of all findings is published.  

That is not the end. All the slides of the rodents and the published report is sent to a quality assessment laboratory (this is where I used to work).  The QA lab then scours over the original lab's slides and report.  Pathologists at the QA lab re-examine the slides and findings.  Then, the QA lab publishes its own report on the study and submits it to NIEHS.  

That's not all.  NIEHS then gathers a panel of experts (scientists and health officials) to come together as a panel.  They pour over the original lab's report and the QA lab's report.  Then, they vote on the findings and decide if the chemical is safe or unsafe for humans.  Representatives from the original lab and QA lab are present when the panel meets to answer any questions and make sure that nothing is misinterpreted or misrepresented by NIEHS.  I have attended panels on more than one occasion and can tell you that they last for hours.  Intense scrutiny is given and great care is taken to make the best decision possible.

I suggest that folks read the material data safety sheet for fluoride which lists it as a poison. Adding a medication to water without a prescription and specific dose for each patient is a violation of FDA law and shows what big corp money and political pull can do.  The fluoride added to water often contains numerous other comntaminants such as lead, mercury.

Much of it now comes from China and is even more contaminated. Folks who believe it is healthy for humans in their water are believing propaganda.

Texas officials caught adding radiation to drinking water in a big coverup:

Numerous Cities and counties are discontinuing the additiion of fluoride to their public water supply due to all the recent scienctific research and the number of top, well respected scientists that have come out against it publicly.

If folks want to remain in denial and say the world is flat, that's their choice.  But no drug should be imposed on the public when numerous top experts say it is toxic and harmful to one's health or the health of their children.  Fluoride has been linked by top medical experts and biochemists to cancer:  WATCH THIS SHOCKING VIDEO

It is important for folks to understand that many top officials making these decisions to flurinate public water have been bought off and influenced to take care of their own financial and business interest first before the public welfare.

BTW I'm not saying there are no issues with the use of flourides in public water
supplies, or questions about mechanics, profits, etc etc.

But I did think the link to Prozac sounded dubious.

The addition of fluoride to the US public water system has a sordid history.

And yes, numerous drugs including Prozac and certain anesthesias are fluorinated.

Fluoride makes elderly bones more brittle.

I have been using a reverse osmosis filter on my kitchen water since the seventies.  I take multvitamins and minerals to adjust to the osmosis water being slightly acidic and close to distilled water.  When I am out and about, I drink the water that is available.

There is no perfect solution.  All there is, is risk benefit analysis and compromise.

One interesting observation is that the dogs prefer the water bowl in my kitchen as oppose to the waterbowls outside.  They act like it's a treat.
