Harvard Study Links Fluoride Along With 10 Other Chemicals To Neurodevelopmental Disorders - Polidicks

Industrial chemicals that injure the developing brain are among the known causes for this rise in prevalence. In 2006, we did a systematic review and identified five industrial chemicals as developmental neurotoxicants: lead, methylmercury, polychlorinated biphenyls, arsenic, and toluene. Since 2006, epidemiological studies have documented six additional developmental neurotoxicants—manganese, fluoride, chlorpyrifos, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, tetrachloroethylene, and the polybrominated diphenyl ethers. We postulate that even more neurotoxicants remain undiscovered. To control the pandemic of developmental neurotoxicity, we propose a global prevention strategy. Untested chemicals should not be presumed to be safe to brain development, and chemicals in existing use and all new chemicals must therefore be tested for developmental neurotoxicity. To coordinate these efforts and to accelerate translation of science into prevention, we propose the urgent formation of a new international clearinghouse.[/quote]

After going over the article, I must say that it took a while for some of these things to go onto the watch list. In any case, it's only common sense to limit your exposure to undesirable chemicals.

Tinfoil hat alert. Calling it now.

Don't the us have fluoride in their tap water?

[QUOTE=Toyhobo;44212855]Don't the us have fluoride in their tap water?[/QUOTE] Most states, if not all, do.

[QUOTE=Svinnik;44212858]Most states, if not all, do.[/QUOTE] Most of the western world does afaik.

I know they put flouride in the water here. Not too many people say anything about it because virtually all discussion on the subject was from the tinfoil hat community, but after this study that might change.

Good thing I've drank nothing but soda for the last 15 years. HA HAAAAAAA!

They wanted to put fluoride in water here (Hampshire, England) using the excuse that some parents don't make their kids clean their teeth properly. You don't have to be on "tin foil hat alert" to think that's an incredibly insufficient reason to be tampering with everyone's water supply. There's a big movement against fluoridation in Hampshires water and so far it's been successful.

Too bad the amount of fluoride in tap water is so fucking low that you're probably more likely to get cancer from the radiation in bananas. That's why the tinfoil hat community is laughed at. Just because something is dangerous in large amounts doesn't mean shit, nicotine was the first poison after all and not everyone drops dead after having one cig. The big difference between a poison and a medication is dosage.

In places where you actually have elemental fluoride preset in the groundwater in high enough amounts and it isn't treated out, you can get some really nasty bone issues from that. The US uses minute quantities of Hexafluorosilicic acid in drinking water, and the chemical properties between the two really aren't all that similar. Again... fluoride != fluoridated drinking water

I thought the dosage you get here was so small it's not a problem.

didnt one city try taking fluoride out of their water for like a month and cavities skyrocketed?

[QUOTE=Novangel;44213167]But Fluoridated water has been proven to reduce cavities in the populace pretty much everywhere?[/QUOTE] just brush your damn teeth properly

[QUOTE=TaniaTiger;44213300]just brush your damn teeth properly[/QUOTE] He's with the CIA. Don't trust him.

[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;44213041]Well-water represent[/QUOTE] most well water is naturally fluoridated as well (depending where you live).

[QUOTE=Novangel;44213167]But Fluoridated water has been proven to reduce cavities in the populace pretty much everywhere?[/QUOTE] I thought it was more along the lines of that cavities reduced in the populace over a certain period in the 20th century where dental health improved and tooth brushing etc. became more common in addition to flouridation of water and that it was difficult to draw a solid line between the two?

I solely drink local tap water (and it tastes really good here for some reason), but when I went to Oxford... one glass, and there was so much fluoride in it I thought I'd die from cancer within the month. I'll never again drink tap water in England.

Why should those with good oral hygiene not have the choice of purer water? Whether these added chemicals are harmful or not, surely it's a basic human right to have access to water that is just water. (or as close as can be, before someone points out there's always going to be little bits of whatever floating about in water)

Luckily I'm on well water. Most of my family is on city water that has fluoride and it just ruins the taste.

My family started to filter all of the tap water fearing this kind of thing. I got a cavity a week later.

[QUOTE=wakeboarderCWB;44213363]Luckily I'm on well water. Most of my family is on city water that has fluoride and it just ruins the taste.[/QUOTE] well water also has fluoride. and its such a tiny insignificant amount in city water that you cannot tell

Alex Jones has just exploded.

[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;44213041]Well-water represent[/QUOTE] Well water can actually have well beyond the recommended limit, it's found naturally in the ground and even places with untreated tap water can have fluoride because they don't remove it in water treatment either.

One american city did an experiment where they stopped putting fluoride in the tap water and cavities went up 30 percent

I'll never again drink tap water in England.[/QUOTE] Pretty sure that's not the fluoridation you're tasting but the fucking absurd amount of lime deposits we have in the water supplies all over the country. Fluoridation should have zero effect on the taste, scent of overall quality of the water you're drinking, the dosage is so damn minuscule.

[QUOTE=wakeboarderCWB;44213363]Luckily I'm on well water. Most of my family is on city water that has fluoride and it just ruins the taste.[/QUOTE] ~All natureale~~~ does not inherently mean better or safer in any way shape or form. That is a sign of severe naivety. How long has the well been around? Do you know the source of the water? Is the source clean and actually safe? Will it stay like that? What about the well, is that clean and totally safe forever? There's a reason we have processed water in developed countries, to remove anything detrimental to our health from the water. And again, you can't taste fluorine in water at the dose used.
