Fluoride is designated a Class 2 poison by the EPA, an acute toxin worse than lead and almost as bad as arsenic. According to the National Cancer Institute it's a known carcinogen. Hydrofluorosilicic acid is a byproduct of the Florida phosphate fertilizer industry. It comes straight from the stacks of industrial plants. It's illegal to dump it into freshwater lakes and rivers because it's toxic to life. Yet it's being trucked in oil tankers all over the United States and Canada to be sold to municipalities that pump it into our tap water. Yet enough scientific evidence has mounted against fluoride that three U.S. judges have ruled in federal court that fluoridation represents an "unreasonable risk" to the public, and the public is beginning to get wind of the danger.
The official line that we're told is that fluoride prevents tooth decay. Yet fluoride is known to do just the opposite. Fluoride causes dental fluorosis, a condition that makes teeth hard and brittle with discoloration, chipping and pitting of the enamel. It's estimated by the Centers for Disease Control that one-third of the children in the United States have dental fluorosis. In Canada the numbers are lower due to less fluoride in the water: Health Canada estimates between 12 and 14 percent incidence of fluorosis. Furthermore new studies show that the supposed benefits of fluoridation are nonexistent. The National Institute of Dental Research conducted the largest study to date on fluoride's effects on teeth with over 39,000 children ages 5 to 17 and found no significant differences between fluoridated and non-fluoridated communities. Another study in New York State found that the only significant difference is that fluoridated Newburgh, New York, has twice the dental fluorosis of non-fluoridated Kingston, New York.

What else can I help you with?
Does distillation remove fluoride from water?
Distillation does remove at least some fluoride - this is why a dentist will recommend fluoride treatment at your 6-month dental cleaning if you drink distilled or filtered water. However, to get all the fluoride out the water would have to be deionized.
Why is it important that chlorine and fluoride are added at the end rather than at the beginning of the water treatment process?
Adding chlorine and fluoride at the end of the water treatment process ensures that they are present at the correct concentrations in the finished water. If added at the beginning, there is a risk of them being degraded or reacting with other chemicals during the treatment process, leading to ineffective disinfection or fluoridation of the water.
What does fluoride treatment strengthen?
Fluoride treatment strengthens tooth enamel, helping to prevent tooth decay and cavities. It can also help to remineralize enamel and reduce sensitivity.
Does boiling water eliminate the fluoride content?
But merely boiling the water will not eliminate the fluoride and can in fact concentrate it because you have the same amount of fluoride in less water. You can distill the water. Meaning you can boil the water then capture the steam, which will be pure. But the process is expensive. You need special filters to remove the fluoride.
Will fluoride evaporate from water?
Yes, fluoride can evaporate from water, but the rate of evaporation is very slow.
What are facts about sodium fluoride?
Sodium fluoride is used in tooth paste, water treatment, and also in industrial uses.
Does distillation remove fluoride from water?
Distillation does remove at least some fluoride - this is why a dentist will recommend fluoride treatment at your 6-month dental cleaning if you drink distilled or filtered water. However, to get all the fluoride out the water would have to be deionized.
What can stop the effect of sodium fluoride poisoning?
Alum treatment of water
True or false chlorine fluoride are added to the tap water?
I believe it is correct (true), for England at least, but I'm not entirely sure...
Why is it important that chlorine and fluoride are added at the end rather than at the beginning of the water treatment process?
Adding chlorine and fluoride at the end of the water treatment process ensures that they are present at the correct concentrations in the finished water. If added at the beginning, there is a risk of them being degraded or reacting with other chemicals during the treatment process, leading to ineffective disinfection or fluoridation of the water.
Is fluoride used in British tap water?
No flouride is not used in British tap water?
What chemicals are added to Melbourne's water?
In Melbourne's water treatment process, chemicals such as chlorine, fluoride, and sometimes alum (aluminum sulfate) are added. Chlorine is used as a disinfectant, fluoride to promote dental health, and alum for coagulation and sediment removal. These chemicals help ensure that the water is safe for consumption.
Is fluoride fat or water soluble?
Fluoride is water soluble. It dissolves in water to form fluoride ions.
Does boiling water remove fluoride?
Boiling water does not remove fluoride. As water evaporates, the fluoride concentration actually increases slightly. Special filters like reverse osmosis systems are needed to effectively remove fluoride from water.
What is water in?
If you mean regular water, two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen. But, in city water treatment facilities, fluoride and a small amount of chlorine may be added in.
Do they have fluoride is in your water supply and what the concentration of fluoride in your drinking water is?
yes
What does fluoride treatment strengthen?
Fluoride treatment strengthens tooth enamel, helping to prevent tooth decay and cavities. It can also help to remineralize enamel and reduce sensitivity.
