fluoride, guess what it's bad for you Options

[ikayto]

Well, i was surfing around on the net one day and i found an article about how fluoride is bad for us. Then i dug a lil deeper and found out some more startling stuff.

Fluoride is in our tap water and fluoride is in our toothpaste and other things we normaly use. They have been purposely put there with hopes of "preventing tooth decay." The proof that fluoride has prevented tooth decay is weakly substantiated with minute evidence.

Here are some facts about fluoride.

-it's more toxic then lead
-it's causes bones to become brittle
-fluoride is not a proven nutrient
-you can have perfectly healthy teeth without fluoride

Why must you ask hasnt the government stopped this? Mainly because it's just cheaper for them to dump it into the things we use and buy little by litle to get rid of it. Many companies have been brainwashed into thinking fluoride is good for us and everything.

I swear to whoever that this is pure friggin evil. Just thought i'd let all of you guys know and that i'll be protesting soon with people in my area. -.-

[*jimmyjackiechan*]

wth?

Then why my dental hiegniest (my dentist) a professional recamended me to use a flouride mouth wash. And she claims she uses it every day too, to prevent tooth decay. ANd to keep the enamal strong

[ikayto]

That's all b.s dude; it corrodes the enamel everyone is brainwashed and all this mess. Thanks to a large promotional campaign by the fluoride people.

just what some of the things fluoride is doing to you.

[inthemudhole]

Err.
That's rather odd.
Flouride was always said to be the best for your teeth.
Hah.
Weird.
<--skeptical

[ikayto]

Nope, its the real deal i've looked at over 15 webpages on google and pagse and pages on google more to go on this stuff. It's legit; just read up on it a bit, you'll be scared of your pants. -.-

yea i was a skeptic at first too

then i kept reading on FDA, EPA official web

Fluoride. Many communities add fluoride to their drinking water to promote dental health. Each community makes its own decision about whether or not to add fluoride. EPA has set an enforceable drinking water standard for fluoride of 4 mg/L (some people who drink water containing fluoride in excess of this level over many years could get bone disease, including pain and tenderness of the bones). EPA has also set a secondary fluoride standard of 2 mg/L to protect against dental fluorosis. Dental fluorosis, in its moderate or severe forms, may result in a brown staining and/or pitting of the permanent teeth. This problem occurs only in developing teeth, before they erupt from the gums. Children under nine should not drink water that has more than 2 mg/L of fluoride.

[inthemudhole]

How odd.
Hm.
Thanks for the information.

OMG I AM GONNA KILL MY DENTIST. THEY CLEANED MY TEETH TODAY. IT WAS VERY... UNPLEASANT... AND TO TOP IT OFF, THEY GAVE ME THE FLOURIDE THAT HTYE GIVE 5 YEAR OLDS (THE FLAVORED ONES) TO ME!!! OMG!!!!!! GR!!!! .... MY DENTIST IS SH1T AND HE SHOULDN'T EVEN BE A DENTIST.

TIP: NEVER GET DENTISTS FROM CHINATOWN.

[ikayto]

na its not ur dentist's fault it's brand companies that got paid off and promotioned fluoride up the ass....i'm scared now because now i know why i get sick everytime i swallow little toothpaste when i brush my teeth...it messes up your kidneys also because they can only filter half of the fluoride in ur body...so it's tough on them


if a kid eats eevn half of a toothpaste containing fluoride he/she WILL DIE

look on ur toothpaste label it says if some1 eats this call poison control or something.......

[jennyjenny]

When i was younger, the damn dentists (i had more than 1) everytime i would get my teeth cleaned, they would put the little sweet tasting flouride (that tased like sh1t), they would always tell me to swallow it? And today they did and now my stomach don't feel like good...

[silver-rain]

yeah, fluoride is dangerous, but only in large doses. the amount of fluoride in tap water and toothpaste isn't enough to be too bad.

[ikayto]

but the thing is it builds up in ur bones causing them to get brittle...and other organs are effected as well..

[swtpumkinpie]

anything AND everything you eat or use is bad for you. if you eat too much of anything or drink too much of anything or use too much of anything, it's bad.

[ikayto]

this is different; this is an actual toxic chemical that many of you arent aware of.

and please read soem stuff on this site before you guys post

http://www.fluoridealert.org/

here i made it a lil easier; here is a list of 50 reasons to oppose fluoride in ur water

http://www.fluoridealert.org/50-reasons.htm

[melmigs]

That's fcuking scary. I take flouride vitamins.

[pikimoo]

Yeah.. most toothpaste has flouride and it kinda sucks. Because I used to never brush my teeth or anything(I was 9 ), and they were perfectly fine. But then suddenly my dentist says I need to get rid of the plaque.. so I started brushing my teeth again. Problem is, toothpaste hurts like heck! And I have more dental problems when I brush my teeth than without brushing at all.

Usually I just chew gum.. my teeth get clean, my breath smells better, and I don't have cavities/dental issues.

[sunissed14127]

Err.
That's rather odd.
Flouride was always said to be the best for your teeth.
Hah.
Weird.
<--skeptical

totally agree with u

[DisneyPrincessKa...]

and we all know that we're supposed to believe everything we read on the internet and everything we see on t.v. right?

[ikayto]

yea well i'm not sourcing from just one particular site; theres numerous sites out there on this; just look it up.

When the evidence is so abundant and numerous how can you just ignore it.

[DisneyPrincessKa...]

Easy, if it was bad for me then I wouldn't have been given it by dentists my whole life. My friend's lived in Hong Kong for 3 years, with no flouride. After they had been there for a year they were in the states visiting. When they went to their dentist they had tons of cavaties because of a lack lof flouride. It's not bad for you.

[ikayto]

There are numerous reasons why your cousins have had cavaties; fluoride cant be linked to it. They have done tests in areas where there is no fluordation in the water and where there is flurodation in the water. The results where the tooth decay in the non fluordated area was the same as the results in the fluordated area; even better in some cases.

Even western europe has rejected the fluordation of their water.

I dont want to turn this into a debate; but i just want you guys to be conscious of these things around us.

[Just_Dream]

WAIT A SECOND. Then how can fight/prevent cavities? Is there no possible way? I mean sure brushing initially helps but don't we need more? And doesn't fluoride whiten teeth? Although, Crest Whitestrips' main ingredient is not fluoride.. or is it?

[F1R3B4T]

fluoride comes in dissolvable pills and u take one each day, gurgle it around ur mouth and spit it out.... i think thats the stuff thats bad for u
basically yeh its only bad in large doses.

That's fcuking scary. I take flouride vitamins.

thats wat im talkin about yeh

but then i never knew those white spots were fluorosis [sp?]

[dani41790]

woah i knew it waznt good for ya but i didnt think it waz that bad

[LatinaLady]

so then not brushing your teeth is better then brushing them?

[ikayto]

^^^ just doint use a fluoride based toothpaste

[Luster Soldier]

*throws toothpaste out the window

[DaTru KataLYST]

Hm.

O.o

I'm hesitant on believing, especially after that prank about water being toxic. Haha, that was a good prank though.

Bleh, so flouride is bad for you, so is pure oxygen. and pure nitrogen, and pure anything else. (Unless u haf pure gold! hehe)



OMG! my toothpaste's label says "FLOURIDE whitening toothpaste" in big letters!

wut a conspiracy we live in, eh?

[NiKECHiQ]

whoah im using salt now ... did you know back in the old days people used salt to clean their teeth and they say its really good for you teeth

[laur3nw]

Weird...my dentist always puts this foamy flouride stuff on my teeth everytime I go there. If that is true, I hope all that flouride I did use doesn't affect me later on. >.<

[vivieeeen]

...................
so we shouldn't touch flouride at all?

[ikayto]

blah i dont know what to believe in anymore.......i suppose it's okay in small doses..

so confused in this damn world ><

[angel-roh]

yeah i heard that flouride is like that hehe i knew it since 1st grade-_-;; ehh anyways it's bad even if u swallow it... which shrinks some of ur bones so yeah anyways they just do it to wash our bacteria away from our mouth hehe cause u know a lot of ppls cough and sneeze...and theres bacteria in their mouth...well a lot of elementary school doesnt take good care of their bacteria in their mouth that they easily they carry it to other's person hehe so yeah

[sugarcubes]

flouride its like its sooo minty and spicy.. its proven its not really good.. i dont use flouride i just thought it was minty and spicy.

[xx angelbabu xx]

wow..
maybe that whole thing is made up...?

[juliar]

My teeth look good to me.

[melmigs]

fluoride comes in dissolvable pills and u take one each day, gurgle it around ur mouth and spit it out.... i think thats the stuff thats bad for u
basically yeh its only bad in large doses.


thats wat im talkin about yeh

but then i never knew those white spots were fluorosis [sp?]

No, I don't spit the vitamins out. I chew and swallow them. I'm pretty sure they have flouride in them. Let me go check.. Yea, they're prescription multivitamins with flouride in them. Hmmm. Somehow, I don't believe the articles.

[islandkiss]

hmm.. it's not like we swallow toothpaste.. well thanks anyway.

[juliar]

flouride its like its sooo minty and spicy.. its proven its not really good.. i dont use flouride i just thought it was minty and spicy.

That's not fluoride minty, that's called FLAVORING.

[XxmisspreciousxX]

I don't believe that. If flouride was bad for us i guess someone would have noticed it was ages ago. They probably meant "too much" flouride is bad for us. But still they might have made it up or something

[pbear]

<< uses flouride rinse and not going to stop

Until I hear it from my dentist, whatever.
I'm going to keep using it.

[tsohg]

BGFUISABga research correctly please.. fluoride helps us wash.. thus its in our water.. geez

[Sumiaki]

Wow... Yeah i would think TOO MUCH fluoride is bad. But iono bout the amount dentists give us.

[ohBrian]

wtf hahah this is messed up ... all the members are OLD ppl hahahaha... THEY HAVE NO TEETH HAHAHAHA

[JlIaTMK]

eh.... this is quite confusing stuff @-@.... i thought fluoride was good for u

[NiKECHiQ]

i really dont believe that article

dentist always tell me that flouride is good for my teeth and they studied teeth for a long time they know better

[vietspirit]

well it's bad when you swallow it.

[*corizzle20*]

what's fluroide

[Day_By_Day]

WTF?!?! "You can have perfectly healthy teeth without flouride" So why the hell do they put it in tap/toothpaste/mouthwash?

[captured_serenit...]

omg...i should use soap instead to brush my teeth...omg...

[*lolita kitty*]

hmm i nvr knew dat
weird

[jennifish]

whoa weird!!!!

[nyctophiliac]

i heard that before...so should i stop brushing my teeth, cuz that's just gross if you don't!
Steph

[Prometheusx]

This is a Really good topic...I need to do more research on it, but so far it all sounds true. Thanx for the insight

[XaZnX07]

i really dont think floride is bad for you cause we have been useing it for a long time now and no one died or nething do to floride rite? if a dentist recommend it its probably not bad for you

.:tony:.

[sweetxsimplicity]

umm..interesting.
you seem a bit obsessed with this fluoride is bad for you stuff..
calm down. xD

[*stephinika*]

hmm interesting. but yeah everything seems to end up being bad for you in this world, so i've decided that i don't care so much anymore haha. here's my opinion: intersting but meh.

[JustPeachy]

^^ yea i agree

[hi-C]

Do you really think that your dentist would purposely set out to kill you? And the amount of fluoride in the water are only trace amounts, it's not like 50% of the water you drink is fluoride. And if someone did die of fluoride posioning, the autopsy would say so and the family would sue. Until that happens, stop taking everything you read literally. -_-

[*kryogenix*]

calm down. it's not that bad. the flouride levels in water is not dangerous and is good for your teeth.

[faithin_felix]

omg, the dentists are evil!

[sweetdreamsx3]

Wow, it sounds like it's all a joke, but you can never be too sure..
