Now you claim it can have effect on IQ

guess what buddy? your claims about IQ is contradicted by the Flynn effect,which shows that there is a long term increase in intelligence over time.


Have a good read buddy, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flynn_effect

Plain water is also a lethal to nerve cells in high enough concentrations, since it dilutes important chemicals in cells, remember hypertonic ( shrinked cells), hypotonic ballon cells in high school?. This is called water intoxication. The western world has had water fluoridation for about 70 years, so the effects on brain development should have been massive by now.. There is a case to be made against having a one size fits all level of fluoridation without taking into account regional dental health, but this kinds of anti fluoridation conspiracy theories distract from genuine concerns.

Collect your own rainwater or dig your own well.

Or quit worrying about it and be grateful you can get clean water piped to your house, millions of others are literally dying without that luxury

Your argument is kind of like a vegetarian bitching about a limited menu at a steak house. In other words the world has overwhelmingly adopted this practice.
Most European countries remove fluoride from tap water. Only the US and some other countries added it to their water supply. Americans are not known for being clever. :ugeek:

Ceteris paribus...

So many different variables at play (better education, better health care etc.). Without fluoridated water and fluoride toothpaste, the effect could have been even greater.

Nope. Most use fluoridated toothpaste like a bunch of sheep.

Xylitol toothpaste is far better and safer. That is what I use.

Itrah, you know, you actually do have to reply to criticism, not just troll on like you didn't hear anything. Here are some of the criticisms you have gotten formulated as questions:

- If water fluoridation reduces IQ and we have had this stuff in our water for about 70 years, should we not be getting dumber not smarter? The Flynn effect shows that average intelligence is rising as time passes.

- Do you accept that toxic effects depends, among other things, on dosage?

- Do you think it is intellectually honest to confuse fluoride (F-) with fluorine (F2)?

- If drinking tap water is forced on you, how come you can more or less freely choose to drink other fluids if you so choose?

- Why is it unreasonable to make the well reasoned premise that people, in general, would agree to whatever a reasonable person who had all the facts and where reasoning without errors or fallacies would agree to? ( water purification treatment).

I have noticed this in qaldaans mostly, and maybe dhulbahantes. Why taloow? In this western world of aesthetics, and vanity --a brown teeth is tantamount to brown feces on your face. :)

Already answered above. Other more important variables also changed in that period. You can't compare it like you did. Fluoride only has a minor negative effect, while improved health care and education had a greater positive effect.

Fluoride is a known neurotoxin, even at very low doses. People don't really need it. Xylitol prevents caries just as well if not better than fluoride.

Are you an American? You sound butthurt that your government forced fluoride upon you. :mrgreen:

All made worse by government agent provocateurs, aka 'conspiracy theorists nut jobs', peddling outlandish, easily refutable nonsense, so diverting opinion away from the real shit the New World Order is up to. It's no use you arguing otherwise. That's just proof that you're one of those world government agents, sent here to hide the truth from Snet members. All this stuff about the dangers of fluoride just hides the real danger from the LSD-based chemicals that are NWO attempts at mind control. It's no use you denying it. The truth is out there.
