if fluoride is more poisonous than lead, why are they putting it in our drinking water.?

Question

when you mix the city water in a baby's formula the amount of fluoride is 250 times the amount a baby would get if he had just had breast milk. they took the lead out of paint and condemned some houses because of lead but then they turn around and put fluoride in all the drinking water, which is more poisonous. I don't get it, do you.

Answer 1

Because it has to be disposed of somewhere. And i thought the government was there to ensure quality of life.

By claiming it benefits dental hygiene, the corporate state can implement disposal/injection into municipalities over ten thousand population in the US, unless the community opposes it! And depending on the quantities imbibed, you ingest potentially toxic amounts. But we all go sometime, and that means more corporate profits because no one is paying for the remediation!

Answer 2

There have been people opposed to putting fluoride into our drinking water for a very long time. I haven't studied the issue as much as you have, but I know that there are other chemicals that are harmful, too, to which we are exposed every day.

The chlorine in our drinking water should be allowed to evaporate out before we drink the water.

We also have a lot of exposure to mercury, which is so extremely toxic, that it used to make hat makers crazy -- hence, the phrase, mad as a hatter. Mercury fillings in teeth are still used, and when they need to be replaced mercury gas gets released and inhaled. Dentists are also at risk.

I agree that we should do whatever we can to protect people from exposure to toxins, and I think this should be a much higher priority than funding health care to pay for the consequences of their getting sick.

Answer 3

Obama has nothing to do with fluoridation of drinking water. That has been done since the fifties by most local water departments to help cut back the rate of tooth decay. The American Dental Association has encouraged this practice for over 60 years.

Answer 4

Not only that but the plastic baby bottles we use leaches a chemical called BPA which mimics Estrogen and gender bends. Canada has added it to their hazardous materials listing but not the good ole USA. The plastics companies who do testing on themselves say it is not a problem. Right.

Answer 5

I am right with you on that one. Flouride is extremely poisones and there is not right for it to be in our water. They are now selling baby water with flouride in it. That is horrisble, they say it is good for out teeth and makes them stronger but that is why it is in tooth paste and we have to spit and wash that out of our mouths. The box says do not swallow call the poison control right away if you do swallow. And it is a shame that no one has a real answer for this, they are just trying to kill us slowly

Answer 6

Its only poisonous in high doses, and it does not build up in the body.



Also the benefits of fluoride in water far outweigh the minimal risks. The teeth of people who have excess fluoride are much better and less likely to decay, and the condition known as "fluorosis" actually has no adverse effect on health...

Answer 7

I've never heard that fluoride was poisonous? I've actually heard it's quite good for your teeth and their health and growth. In elementary school, I remember that my mom had talked to one of the other parents of a girl who was basically in to see the dentist twice a week, and her mom said she had bad teeth because they removed the fluoride from the water in the district of town she lived in. And if you think fluoride is so bad, you should also know its in tooth-paste.

Answer 8

And where did you hear this fluoride theory? BTW, they have been putting it in the water for 60 years, if it had such an adverse health affect I think we would know about it by now.

Answer 9

I hope not, it's in my toothpaste! It is put into water and toothpaste supposedly to help strengthen teeth. Consiracy theorists will say it makes people docile.



Add: wouldn't we be hearing about flouride deaths more often if it was that bad?
