For years health experts have been unable to agree on whether fluoride in the drinking water may be toxic to the developing human brain. Extremely high levels of fluoride are known to cause neurotoxicity in adults, and negative impacts on memory and learning have been reported in rodent studies, but little is known about the substance’s impact on children’s neurodevelopment. In a meta-analysis, researchers from Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) and China Medical University in Shenyang for the first time combined 27 studies and found strong indications that fluoride may adversely affect cognitive development in children. Based on the findings, the authors say that this risk should not be ignored, and that more research on fluoride’s impact on the developing brain is warranted.
The study was published online in Environmental Health Perspectives on July 20, 2012.

It's obviously dangerous... That's why they used it on people in Nazi Death Camps... It's also supposed to make people calm etc. (wonder why they shove it in some water supplies...)

I try to avoid Floride as much as posisble. I use non floride toothpaste and my teeth have actually been healthier and I feel healthier for it as well.

When I was in elementary school, they'd make students use flouride mouth wash every morning. You could get out of it if you had a note from a parent. The stuff was bubblegum flavored and made me want to puke. They made us stand in a line and watched to make sure we swished it around in our mouths and didn't spit it back into our cups. Even as a child, I found this super weird.

I don't understand the purpose of putting it in water supplies. Whether it's harmful or not, I don't see why it would be necessary. I've known people who drink water with fluoride and they've had cavities. I drink filtered well water.

Wow, that is just disgusting.

On top of it being given to people in Nazi death camps, Hitler also gave it to the German public as part of his campaign, as it makes people impressionable, calm and easy to manipulate.

These are facts by the way. Looks like the US and UK government have been using his idea.

This is a myth that has no basis in reality.  Anytime someone pulls the Nazi card be very wary because it is just for shock value.  The first fluoridation of drinking water was in Grand Rapids, Michigan before even WWI.

Again get your facts straight.  As a person that had family in Nazi death camps it is vulgar and insulting for people to use such a tragedy to push whatever their ideology of the moment is.

Makes me glad I have well water.  Maybe I should give up the fluoride toothpaste if there's a choice around here.

[brothers]

Can anyone here tell me why we have fluoride in the water system. I thought that fluoride in toothpaste was enough to prevent cavities. So in a sense we are getting a double wammy. Overdose  if you asked me. Sometimes even the dentish
puts a coating of fluoride on your teeth after cleaning them. Strange I would say.

I've done a lot of digging on fluoride and can't find any solid evidence for this. often quoted is Charles Higham's book Trading with the enemy. I've read that book and don't remember reading it in there, if it were true that it was in that book there would surely be quotes from the book on the net somewhere, can't find any. I suspect it is speculation elevated to fact and urban myth. you don't need to poison the well (pun intended), there's plenty of good information to raise awareness on the issue, Paul Connett and Russel Blaylock are people to look up on youtube. I agree with the rest of what you said.

this is the guy that was instrumental in putting fluoride in the water
