Just imagine what it's doing to your insides.
Not all waterways are flourinated, and if they are, it's at such minute amounts per/500gal that you'd never, unless allergic, experience any adverse effects FluoriNe, while the most commonly known additive to water, is not the crux of water treatment, more like an post process extra
It's in milk too
And still in minute doses. It's valid to have concerns given Flourine's nature, and seeing reactions to other substances as you displayed above does create the mindset of "what is that doing inside you," and the answer comes down to your digestive fluids don't react in that way to Flourine, and handles it - in the approved and regulated doses - just fine. Milk also isn't, in many regions, government created. There are regulations on safety equipment and minimum standards for making it safe to drink, so flourination is even *less* common, usually reserved for larger dairy corps. So you can avoid the milk worry just fine by locally sourcing your milk from independent dairy farms
But on the subject of water (which is trated in 500 gallon to 1500 gallon tanks in a moderately sized facility), it's not always used. In the United States at least, it really only depends on your region and their local laws
It seems pretty clear to me that you just accept whatever *they* say. Even if fluoride in water wasn't bad for you, why should we be forced to drink it in our water?
It might have seemed like a good idea in the 50s, but it's now coming to light just how bad it is for you.
All of these detriments are based on the idea that individuals are getting over the agreed limits. One, that is controlled fairly easily by properly judging how soluble it is and putting and adequate amount for how much water you've used. If that's strictly enforced and your local water system isn't plumbed terribly, accurate estimations of individual dosage aren't that hard to achieve.
And yes, the benefit is dental. I can agree it's not such an enormous benefit in water so as to undeniably say it should be required. Feel free to advocate for stopping fluorine in your water with your local officials. That's your right. I don't think it should be required overall, and I don't live in a region where it is required, and I like this fact
As for accepting whatever "they" say
I am "they," water treatment is my literal job
I just don't drink the water, if the government wants to force me to drink chemicals, I'm never gunna trust them. Who knows what else they'll put in my food or water?
I would want to see evidence of this claim of supposed ill effects of water fluoridation on the public.
There was at least a reference here, will require further look for me
i just think its suspicious they would put chemicals in the water for our teeth, wouldnt you put vitamins in it instead or along with it if you are worried about health? also suspicious is who first suggested to put it in the water, also suspicious is the institute that said it was safe, the mellon institute they also said asbestos was safe.
Seems like almost everything is suspicious to you
nothing i jsut said sounded suspicious to u ?
they are worried about our teeth and why not put vitamins in the water along with or instead
a lot is suspicious to me when we are talking about what the elite or govt do
they do some suspicious stuff
It is all, "Why not do this, why not that, why this", "they could, should"
I don't enough about it to make a claim on what is for the best, I'm mainly interested in the evidence behind the benefits of what is going on now and the claims against it, criticisms
@Etzie we are not forced to drink fluoridated water. Ppl choose it. I drink my water from an artisan well. Takes a bit extra time to go fill up 5 gallon containers but its such good water.
Not all ppl have access to great water like i do
i lived in a place recently wher they voted no to put fluoride int he water
But i imagine there is ways of not drinking fluoridated water
yeah definently
but a lot of people dont know or care or have the means to do it
True
i just personally dont think they should be putting it in the water
In that sense i guess ppl are somewhat forced
Which is sad
you have to buy a filter to filter out the floruide or drink distilled water
i saw b aby water with fluoride in it
baby with no teeth water with fluoride .........
Its like the people who dont have access to better water whether it be because of money or location, are forced to drink what the city gives them
most people could afford distilled water but they tell u thats bad for u
are they telling the truth idk
Your body needs minerals
Live water is best
Water with beneficial bacteria and minerals
You can get mineralz through food also..ive not looked into this much
