Why does the USA government even put them in tap water anyway! They should know that there is horrible and toxic chemicals in fluoride. After all, they are the people leading the USA.

As a homeopath I must warn against the side effects of fluoridation.
Roger Morrison, MD, gives in his Desk Top Guide the following risk factors for overdosing:
Head: falling of hair, discolored or breaking teeth & easy caries of teeth
Extremeties: varicose veins, distortion and weakness of nails; osteomyelitis, caries of bones;
Clinical: bone disorders.
And this is only a short and incomplete overview,.
Do I need to say more ?

Flouride is scary. How the heck would drinking it over our tongues missing the teeth going down to our stomach and bowels ward off cavities? Studies should be done on all the toothpaste brushing we do and how swallowing that affects our health and the health of our kids. Most kids eat sugary snacks, loads of bread and sugary drinks. This crap is where the cavities form – not whether or not there is flouride in your water. With the rise in colon cancers, bladder and liver diseases I wonder if flouride has some part in it. More studies need to be done. Would you drink something if it had arsenic right on the label?

Valerie, one day your going to have health problems but that’s OK because you’ll have healthy teeth right? Well maybe not…

People should have the right to choose. If fluoride prevented cancer people still deserve the right to choose to consume it. Don’t buy into junk science!

Please don’t advocate unfluoridated toothpaste. You might as well brush your teeth with shampoo for all the good it will do you.
The primary way toothpaste works is as a means of topical application of fluoride.
Like any other thing in the world , its efficacy is dose specific. Just because over ingestion is harmful does not mean that it’s harmful if used correctly .

Fluoride is now in hundreds of our foods as well as drugs, vaccines and tobacco.
Go to USDA fluoride in food to see it 15 pages of hundreds of baby and normal foods with fluoride!
We are all overdosed…and our skin absorbs fluoride from showers as well.

Fluoride is also one that help us to prevent tooth decay but if we used it too much then it can also harm us. We need to balance everything

There are so many products nowadays that contains fluoride. One of the most common among these is the toothpaste that we are using everyday. I never thought that this can be very harmful to all of us.

I don’t want floride in my water and I’m sure if more people in my town knew of the risks they wouldn’t want it either. I think we should have a choice in the matter. I dont see how this is legal!

Water fluoridation might be a health risk which can have side effects on health. More research should be focus on this subject matter.

I’m 56 years old and have always used floride, in water and toothpaste. I have osteoporosis now and hypothyroidism. I have since been using bottled water (floride 00.3 ppm) and make my own toothpaste. I’m even scared of baths now and take quick showers. I have nice teeth but certainly my share of cavities. I don’t allow the dentist to give me floride rinses anymore. This stuff should be illegal to put in water!!!

My dentist in the military was suprized I was from ohio because I had cavities and Ohio has high fluoridation so many people from there he saw had few or no dental problems. I have celiac disease (low teeth enamal) so I had many cavities. While traveling I seen some countries were the people had nasty blackend teeth with many cavities like Japan but they adopted fluorine many years ago so many young people had bright shiny teeth while the ones over 30 had horrible yellow or black teeth hense the habit of covering thier mouths while smiling or laughing.
