EPA Scientists & Workers Call for an End to Water Fluoridation Because of Cancer Risk
 

:lol

No really.....Sodium Fluoride is good for you.....

So what is it, fluoride or "chemical wastes" that contain it that cause cancer? That website's discription and the one on the NTEU chapter 280 website of the issue differ. MAYBE THEY CAN'T GET THERE FACTS STRAIGHT EITHER! :x

They are one and the same.

Sodium fluoride is good for you.

No, really.

Sorry, your 'facts' have failed to convince me, what with me being alive and all after 30 something years of drinking tap water, brushing my teeth 2 times a day, and showering in the stuff daily.

Chew on those facts Coolie

Funny how it only effects young boys, couldn't be anything else but tap water!

But one of the sites referred to them as separate things.

this time im convinced

Indeed.

Looking at such localized groups ALWAYS carries a risk that other environmental or social effects could be coming into play. Even Freud admitted that sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Keep brushing! :lol

You forgot this one at the end, and it was a gem

Hear that Coolie? You are part of something!

That something is the public

In other words, you are the sheep you claim not to be and acted exactly as projected by the experts

I like where this thread has gone.

SOURCE!

yawn*

We don't share his worldview, so he sticks his fingers in his ears and sings.

I was going to offer him a better alternative than Tom's of Maine for a fluoride-free toothpaste, but screw that now.

I think you spelled "Sorry guys, I was wrong and should have listened" wrong

The "*" was for all the other missing letters.

:lol

You win the internet sir!

I remember once way back when I was but a silly teenager, I was going to a disco but had run out of deoderant, so in panic I smeared toothpaste under my armpits. It really started to burn after a while, so I'm inclined to chime in with Coolie here and say that toothpaste is evil

Haha, that's awesome.

The boundless pastures of my imagination.

Go to a doct- ... I mean an holistic medical practicioner immediately. They will probably diagnose you with Pit Cancer, and start you on a rigid therapy of rubbing pumice stones all over your upper torso and lymphatic system, which will of course include your nether regions.

Win-win, I say.

EDIT: The stones may be a bit too rough in places - maybe there's an option to use massage oil or organic whipped cream instead.

Tea tree oil dude. Its cures everything.

You see crap like this all the time, there is a National American Association of Doctors council that is fighting against obamacare, but its really a propaganda group with 2 doctors and 30 public relation officers as members. But they still get to say "LOOK WE ARE A GROUP OF DOCTORS YOU MUST LISTEN TO US."

Flouride may very well be dangerous, and these people might be doing legitimate research that will someday produce results to confirm their claims. But right now they are nothing but a authority by numbers fallacy claims PR group. As soon as you read something like "group representing 7000 people" as an argument, sirens should be going off in your head. I even did a google search to look for the ONE SINGLE PAPER they reference (since they don't provide a link to it) as proof in research, but I couldn't find it anywhere. All they provide is multiple formal letters from (I assume) important names demanding that flouride must be taken out of drinking water.

To put this all in perspective, there is a large group of people out there who are don't believe that microorganisms cause disease. They have a flotilla of doctors and healthcare professionals who are constantly fighting to 'change the system' for the good of mankind. Names as big as Bill Maher are on this boat, spending tons of money to prove it. And they have just as much evidence: fallacy ad populi and appeals to authority. Just because lots of people, and lots of important people beleive something doesn't make something more believable unless they have the proper data.

People don't like to think they are being manipulated, I understand that, and the idea that flouride was put in our water as some social experiment years ago perks up the ears of many people, without offering proper evidence.

I know, I know, TL;DR
But here's some truth: evidence may some day agree with you and everyone will go "OH SHIT THEY WERE RIGHT" and you'll feel real smart for knowing it all along. But in reality you were an idiot right up until the moment they found evidence, then you became lucky.

some of the letters referenced studies that had been done by other people :(

for the most part they were studies which he has already brought up on this message board... like, the rats that got cancer injesting the same amount of fluoride as humans would :lol
