What was the first city to add fluoride to their drinking water?
grand rapids
How many forms of fluoride are there?
Well, I don't have a number for you. I can tell you that in Dentistry we use 3 main types of fluoride for therapeutic use. NaF also known as sodium fluoride APF also know is acidulated phosphate fluoride SnF also known as stannous fluoride Fluoride may occur in many other forms that I am not aware of, but these are the forms that are used to produce clinical results. I couldn't tell you how many forms of fluoride there, but if you are concerned that you need fluoride for your teeth, don't worry, If you get your teeth cleaned the recommended twice a year, the dentist should do a fluoride treatment. That is plenty. Also, If you live in the city, you are getting additional fluoride because most cities add a small amaount of fluoride to their drinking water resurves for this purpose, not to mention it helps keep the water you are drinking healthy. i thought there was like 600 and even more

Is sodium fluoride a byproduct of aluminum?
Sodium Fluoride is an industrial waste byproduct from aluminum manufacturing. In 1945 local water treatment facilities began to add sodium fluoride to our water supply. The sodium fluoride put in our water is not a pharmaceutical grade additive. As aluminum production increased in the first half of the twentieth century, it became necessary to find somewhere to put the fluoride. Manufacturers could no longer get away with dumping it into rivers or landfills, because it was poisoning crops and making livestock sick. Francis Frary, chief scientist for ALCOA, commissioned Gerald Cox at the Mellon Institute, to conduct research regarding the benefits of adding fluoride to the water supply. The Mellon Institute was frequently hired by big business to produce research that supported their industries, and for several decades they produced research showing that asbestos was safe and did not cause cancer. The "research science" done to support water fluoridation was underwritten by these massive companies: Aluminum Company of America (ALCOA) Aluminum Company of Canada American Petroleum Institute Dupont Kaiser Aluminum Reynolds Steel US Steel National Institute of Dental Research They also produced reports assuring everyone that fluoride was not toxic and would be beneficial to add to our drinking water for healthy teeth. Another proponent of the safety of fluoride at that time was scientist Harold Hodge, who was later revealed to have been part of the ''Human Radiation Experiment''; injecting test subjects with plutonium and uranium in 1945-46. This was documented by Pulitzer Prize winning reporter Eileen Welsonne in "The Plutonium Files." Hodge was also chief toxicologist of ''The Manhattan Project'' and fluoride was a key component in the production of the atom bomb. His studies were conducted with a bias toward proving fluoride safe, which would protect the government and industry from lawsuits. See the related link.
Is well water the same as tap water?
No well water is raw, tap water is filtered and treated by your city authority.

What is the most reliable source of dietary fluoride?
No, most natural dietary fluoride comes from mineral deposits containing fluoride salts, this then leaches into drinking water. But with only a few rare exceptions this is rare. Most municipal water supplies have fluoride added and this would overwhelm any natural dietary fluoride sources.
What element is added to toothpaste and city water?
Sodium fluoride.

I'm hook up to city water and i have a stinky smell when i turn on the bathroom faucet why?
City water can have additives in it such as fluoride. This can make the water have an odor to it.

Fluoride.
How can you prevent having clean drinking water?
I would suggest buying bottled water, drinking city tap water or by mixing a little dirt and grime in there. That should prevent you from drinking clean water.
What are the two ways fluoride is made available to tooth surfaces?
The two ways fluoride is made available to the tooth's enamel are topically and systemically. Topically is to use fluoridated toothpaste, fluoride treatment or similar agent such as fluoridated mouth wash. Fluoride benefits (if any) via systemic application are described in the "theory" that by ingesting fluoride such as fluoridated drinking water, consuming a beverage or any food or drink that is made with or contains the chemical compound fluoride (or otherwise processed by fluoridated city drinking water) enters the body and is absorbed into the body fluids. Simple water filtration does not remove the fluoride, so anything such as tap water, fruit juice or Gatorade will contain fluoride if the source of the water is fluoridated. The two most successful ways to remove the fluoride is by Reverse Osmosis filtration or Distillation. Most cities in the United States add fluoride to drinking water so that your body can ingest it and the thinking behind this is that the fluoride is made available to the tooth's enamel via the saliva and thus absorbed into the enamel. The Fluoride Myth claims that this absorption of fluoride into the enamel causes the tooth enamel to re-mineralize and thereby strengthen it. The problem is that there have been no sound studies to prove this "re-mineralization process". It has been a lie told to us for decades so we would believe that fluoride is good for us. Fluoride is the byproduct of sulfuric acid reacting with the naturally occurring mineral fluorspar (also known as fluorapatite). Fluoride is also produced by aluminum metal manufacturing, fertilizer manufacturing, as well as atomic bomb making. Fluoride compounds are used for glass etching, electroplating, rust and stain removal, cleaning agents and have also been used in rat poison. More and more researchers and chemists are coming forward to prove that Fluoride is actually a harmful poison and that it does damage to bones, teeth and causes brain damage in infants as well as other psychological disorders in children such as ADHD, etc. All you have to do is spend some time searching Fluoride on your favorite search engine and you will find the truth - good luck.
