Question

Is good drinking water with fluoride?

Answer 1

There's no harm in drinking fluoridated water.

Answer 2

Fluoride is bad for you.  It is a poison.  This can actually create problems with your bones and your brain.  The health establishment says it is beneficial but not this form.  There is a naturally occuring fluoride that is good for you, but not the kind that is readily available in water.

Answer 3

No.  Fluoride is a poisonous substance.  When greatly diluted the effects will not be immediate though.

See here one of the articles below

Answer 4

"According to the Centers for Disease Control, fluoride's predominant effect is TOPICAL (direct contact with teeth) and not systemic (from ingestion)."

there are no positive effects from ingesting fluoride, in fact fluoride is the reason you should spit when you brush your teeth. there are many negative long term effects due to fluoridation in water, including a different form of tooth decay. dental fluorosis.

The following developed nations previously fluoridated their water, but stopped the practice, with the years when water fluoridation started and stopped in parentheses:

    * German Federal Republic (1952-1971)

    * Sweden (1952-1971)

    * Netherlands (1953-1976)

    * Czechoslovakia (1955-1990)

    * German Democratic Republic (1959-1990)

    * Soviet Union (1960-1990)

    * Finland (1959-1993)

    * Japan (1952-1972)[103]

The prevalence of dental decay has decreased in both Western Europe and the United States.[104] [105] Some countries had water fluoridation but then abruptly stopped the practice. These countries, including the former East Germany and Cuba, have continued to see drops in the incidence of tooth decay.[106][107] Based on this evidence, opponents conclude that water fluoridation is unnecessary.

Answer 5

yes it is for your teeth

Answer 6

No, municiple water supplies, {especially in the USA, 59% of Americans drink fluordated water according to statistics for 2002}, contain Fluoride and Chlorine, both have negative long-term effects on health, and even residues of pharmaceutical drugs like Prozac have been found in British Water supplies {which have the highest standard of water quality/hygiene} Source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/354568...

Chlorine is a carcinogenic, and fluoride inhibits certain enzymes in the brain, and can cause bone cancer, denta fluorosis, weakens the immune system, and many other negative side-effects.

There is no sound scientific evidence that drinking {emphasis on 'drinking'} fluoride strengthens your teeth. Fluoride is in toothpaste, so your teeth get the amount they need morning, and evening, for adequate protection. Some

Health Nuts have gone too far as to not use fluoride containing-toothpaste {all of the major, advertised brands}, and avert to alternate toothpaste, like KingFisher's, Chlorophyll type toothpaste, ect. As they claim the fluoride in toothpaste is absorbed in the mouth as you brush your teeth, this is valid since many drug are taken as lozenges, or under the tongue, where they are absorbed.

As my Anatomy & Physiology Lecturer says: 'Everything is good in moderation', fluoride is being used excessively, theri was an article in 'Scientific America' January 2008 {titled: 'Second Thoughts about Fluoride - New Reseach indicates that a cavity-fighting treatment could be risky if overused'}, a conventional science magazine had an article addressing the concerns of scientists regarding fluoridation for civil water supplies.

I reccommend you buy yourself a water filter, one that filters both chlorine and fluoride, like a Regency Elite from http://resonantlight.com/products/regenc... athough this is the best, it is very exensive, a cheaper option will be a Reverse Osmosis 5-stage Filtration Unit, although the experts i have spoken too regarding 'Reverse Osmosis' say it takes out all the minerals/ions causing the water to become acidic, which of course is bad for your health, as bacteria, fungi, and viruses thrive in an acidic environment. The Regency Elite automatically raises the pH of the tap water to alkali, which is good for your health. Source: 'The pH Miracle' Book by Dr. Young. Although, you could add a pinch of Baking Soda to the Reverse Osmosis water, to balance the pH.

Overall, buying yorself a water filter is a good investment for your health and your family's, it will remove heavy metals like copper from the pipes, pesticides, pharmaceutical drug residues, bacteria, chlorine, and of course fluoride.

Hope this helps.

Answer 7

Calcium fluoride is great for the teeth, however the government use sodium fluoride, which is the potential brainwashing chemical
