yeah, you are right. It got roped in with "conspiracy." I think because the Soviets used ultra fluoridated water in Gulags and noted how it made people docile.

Sodium fluoride is in anti-depressants. i think it's the main active ingredient.

Obviously, i agree with much of what JBS says, but i really do think this and Dr. Strangelove is why it has never been a serious debate.

Actually, fluoridation has been on the decline for a while.

Apparently so, yes. The report looks good to me, and I think their decision is reasonable, especially given that Fairbanks's groundwater is already mildly naturally fluoridated. I think the availability of fluoridated toothpaste kind of renders the debate moot anyway by making the decision an individual one.

With all due respect to those who suffer of fluorosis, I think the main reason why certain people may be dismissive of anti-fluoride arguments is the vehemence with which they are sometimes supported. That a largely irrelevant debate is brought up so frequently is reminiscent of "...the unlikely arguments of some of the opponents (e.g., the John Birch Society, which contended that fluoridation was a communist plot to poison the
citizens of the USA)", as noted in the report.

With that said, this particular report seems to have been conducted seriously and with rigor, so I'm ready to accept its conclusions.

Actually, fluoridation has been on the decline for a while. I am fortunate enough to live in a city which does not fluoridate the water. I lived in the next city over for two years - they do fluoridate the water - and my teeth twice chipped off huge pieces in just that short time.

Good. That means we'll actually be able to evaluate the differences between areas with and without fluoridated water sources.

Municipal water suppliers are effectively exempt from legal liability for their decisions, particularly on this issue where the ADA has taken an inexplicably hardline position that water supplies must be fluoridated as a matter of public health. I am skeptical that liability-exempt individuals or organizations make good decisions. What little I have read about water fluoridation leads me to believe that fully liable water suppliers would not be willing to take the legal risk of introducing a positive additive (fluoridation) into their water, an additive which provably causes harm to individuals (including the fluoridosis mentioned by Jacob), even in very small doses. The centrally-planned public health logic of the ADA be damned.

of course you would think that an article trying to deconvice 50 years worth of fluoride heads that it is bad for you that it is "not objective"

I have dental fluorosis and would like it if every city went through with this.

do some research instead of trolling helpul forum posts man. that shit is bad news. and why you would dedicate hours to refuting my posts but not read something way more important, but then commnet on it....you don't have good priorities when you state your opinion. which means (since you won;t get it) that you don't need to state your opinion on a 40 page document or an article about the document without reading it, because it propagates terrible ideas. Stalin and Hitler knew it. Margret Sanger knew it. General jack ripper knew it (haha) but i guess they are losers who read. ha

“Sometimes organizing like-minded individuals, petitioning, and showing up to city council meetings to express your thoughts actually does make all the difference in instigating positive change. Health-conscious individuals from Fairbanks, Ak., recently achieved a huge health freedom victory when their city council voted almost unanimously to end water fluoridation.”

The article sounds more like an opinion than an objective news piece.

I am not in the mood to read an about 40-page document on fluoridation, a subject to which I am not an expert, to provide a weak opinion.

The city created a task force of professionals to determine whether fluoridation should continue. They found it to be hazardous to your health and decided to end water fluoridation in their city.
