I don't feel comfortable speaking to you whilst you're in bed... -_-
TBH. I completely agree with everything you've said and have done since the last page.
Lol.

I was debating the point simply because I had nothing better to do tbh.

Saddo. Get a life. -_-
I got one, but she's asleep.
I know that their is no evidence of flouridated drinking water being harmful in any way, but should we really be adding anything to our drinking water supply.
In the shops obviously, not prescription.
Cheers.
Yet you then followed spending 2 pages bastardising the thread, taking it off topic, and making it an ethical question regarding water supply, and nothing to do with the OP's toothpaste question. Following by considering the IQ of your customers in B&Q, to suggesting that people should have a majority vote if they wanted it or not.
Frequently taking topics completely offtopic for the sence of debating ethical choice. I find it irritating.
The majority of scientists and dentists do agree, that's my point. It's not as muddled as your making it out to be. In countries with poor dental health or high levels of cavities fluoride in the drinking water is beneficial. That's scientific fact and that's why it's added to our water (or was). In the US it's added because many people there can't afford dental care.
There's a growing amount of evidence linking fluoride to cancer, osteoporosis and genetic damage. Most governments in Europe have banned it, yet Ireland continues to add tooth-preserving acid to the public water supply. Gemma O'Doherty reports
Water fluoridation was once hailed as the saviour of our children's teeth. But since it was introduced four decades ago, it has been abandoned by almost every country in Europe. Everywhere, that is, except Ireland.
As evidence emerged linking it to cancer, osteoporosis and genetic damage, government after government condemned the practice of adding tooth-preserving acid to the public water supply as dangerous and unethical.
During the '70s and '80s, Sweden, Norway and Finland banned water fluoridation because its long term health and environmental effects were insufficiently known.
In 1975, Germany rejected it as ``foreign to nature, unnecessary, inefficient, irresponsible and harmful to the environment.''....
In 1977, Denmark rejected fluoridation because ``no adequate studies had been carried out on the long-term effect on human beings.''
In 1980, the Chief of Public Health in France declared it ``too dangerous''.
More recently, in 1996, 25 out of 26 councils in Northern Ireland voted against fluoridation of their drinking water.
In the UK, 10% of drinking water is fluoridated. Recent plans to extend the programme have been postponed following new research presented to the Ministry of Health on the medical side effects....
There was also evidence that fluoride could actually lead to tooth disfigurement through fluorosis, a mottling or staining of the teeth that occurs when too much of the chemical is present in the body. Dentists here say up to 40% of Irish people suffer from dental fluorosis, although no research has been carried out to support their claims.
In 1995, however, the American Dental Association found that up to 80% of children living in fluoridated areas in the US and Canada had the condition. When this study was published, Canadian dental authorities conceded that fluoride could lead to bone and tooth destruction and damage overall health....
...Some went even further. Dr Harry Limeback, Professor of Dentistry at Toronto University and consultant to the Canadian Dental Authority, claimed that water fluoridation had actually contributed to the birth of the multi-million pound cosmetic dentistry industry. He claimed that more money was now being spent treating dental fluorosis than would be spent on dental cavities if water were not fluoridated.
I could be awful and call you a slaver or something here...
I laugh at these guys here trying to argue the case for putting poison in the tap water. Hey it is only 1000ppm, over 50 years, no worries.
And?Did you know that when they add it to the tap water it gets delivered from a chemical company, it is in a big container and has to be kept in its own room, it is labelled a poison, with a skull and bones on it. for it.

You guys are mad, arguing the case for putting a poison in the tap water, maybe too much fluoride over the years has destroyed your cognitive pathways.
I don't drink the tap water and i have not for many years. You guys are mad, arguing the case for putting a poison in the tap water, maybe too much fluoride over the years has destroyed your cognitive pathways. What would you say if they put cyanide in the water at super low quantities saying that it was good for the skin ?
They actually want to start adding lithium to the water, japan has been talking about it. Why do they need to add any chemicals to the water ?

So you don't even drink the non-poisoned water, yet urge us from adding something which won't affect you in any way as you don't drink it anyway. Thanks for the input. They won't be adding lithium to the water here, so why bring up something that isn't going to happen? I'd say there was a touch os sensationalism about your post.
Oddly, if we are all 'mad' as you put it, the lithium might bring us right into the normal category alongside you...
