Meet The Putin-Loving Congressman Who’s Worried About Fluoride In Our Drinking Water

[Col. Buggernuts]

[QUOTE=Fourier;45466000]Well, they are dedicated to no-fluoride movement, what the fuck do you except they will name their website after?

Also, toxic does not mean it will kill you, it means it is hazard to health.

Streecer, seriously, use some common-sense.

Oh, did you check the references they used in fluoride-alert? Here, I pasted it for you.[/QUOTE]Have you read any of those sources yourself, or do you assume the longer the list of references, the better?

A significant amount of them refer to excessive concentrations. Bachinskii PP, et al. , for example.

[quote]Altogether 123 persons were examined: 47 healthy persons, 43 patients with thyroid hyperfunction and 33 with thyroid hypofunction. It was established that prolonged consumption of drinking water with a raised fluorine content (122 +/- 5 mumol/l with the normal value of 52 +/- 5 mumol/l) by healthy persons caused tension of function of the pituitary-thyroid system that was expressed in TSH elevated production, a decrease in the T3 concentration and more intense absorption of radioactive iodine by the thyroid as compared to healthy persons who consumed drinking water with the normal fluorine concentration. The results led to a conclusion that excess of fluorine in drinking water was a risk factor of more rapid development of thyroid pathology. Indicators of the fluorine content in daily urine provide most of the information on changes of the fluorine amount in the body.[/quote]

Or perhaps Zhao LB, et al (1996). Effect of high-fluoride water supply on children’s intelligence. A study of an area in China were fluoride contents in the water are 4x that of any permissible limit in any developed nation.

McDonagh M, et al. (2000). A Systematic Review of Public Water Fluoridation. NHS Center for Reviews and Dissemination, University of York, September 2000.
Llike the very first source you dredged up in this thread, it's is a review of the scientific literature on water fluoridation commissioned by the House of Commons in the UK, before the assent of the Water Act of 2003 permitting water fluoridation at the discretion of local authorities

Is it really [I]that[/I] much to ask of you to read the actual studies? Or are you just going to shit out another page of sources you've never even read yourself (and by the looks of it, neither did the site owners)?

It's rather telling that fluoridealert did not actually link directly to any of the articles.

Man don't even bother arguing, there is no point. Some people just don't want to realize there are some things the body needs in minute amounts that are quite toxic in larger concentrations. Iron, don't have enough you become anaemic. Have too much for too long? Get heart and liver failure (also a tan). Potassium, sodium, magnesium and a whole bunch of other elements that you most certainly need but would kill you far quicker than fluoride if taken in higher concentrations.

In fact I would argue having fluoride in toothpaste is a far bigger health risk than drinking water. Fluoride in toothpaste is far higher in concentration than in water and small children can easily ingest enough of it to cause some damage.

I don't know whether I should be amused or depressed by how serious this guy is.
