SCI/TECH: Harmful Fluoride Levels Found in Instant Iced Tea, page 1

Prompted by a middle aged woman suffering from excessive fluoride in her skeletal structure, medical researchers have discovered that some commercial instant iced tea preparations have dangerously high levels of fluoride. The levels varied from 1.0 to 6.5 ppm. Fluorinated drinking water does not exceed 1.2 ppm. The effects are cumulative and the researchers point out that you would have to 10 mg. of fluoride a day for 10 years to have the effect show up on an xray. The effects can be dramatic, while there is excessive bone structure, the bones are often brittle.

Man they are taking the fun out of everything. However, as always moderation seems to be the key. What surprised me was the other sources of fluoride other than water and toothpaste: pesticides, Teflon-coated cookware, chewing tobacco, and some wines and mineral waters. Never gave alot of them any thought about thier fluoride content and I minored in nutrition.

Many things contain fluoride....

Above is a link that shows how many of our consumables contain fluoride. Though by themselves the risk of fluoride poisoning is non-existant, it's the amount of fluoride ingested via many sources that does the trick. Many people are over-dosing on fluoride and don't even know it. Fluoride's effect on the thyroid gland also supports the well-known myth that fluoride in our drinking water(with the caviat that it's in other consumables) does in fact cause more docility amongst the population.

Fluoride as a promoter of dental health is viable only as a topical applicant. So why do we have it added to our water supply with all the evidence to the contrary...........I'm in agreeance with soficrow........It's NOT supposed to be like this!!!

This originally included extensive quotes, but in the interest of readability I am just citing sources. If anyone doubts my sources i'll point out the quotes and we can do some further research as well.

Wikipedia on Flouride mentions that prolonged exposure to low concentrations, although generally believed to require more than found in drinking water, can cause Flourosis. Flourosis is a condition which can include hypothyroidism, brittling of bones and teeth (how ironic!), and yellowing of teeth.

Further in the article, it mentions that the human Pineal gland is the most flouride-sensitive part of the body. So naturally I checked on what the Pinneal gland does. Wikipedia on Pinneal gland says-
The Pinneal gland releases melatonin, which regulates our circadian rhythm. The Circadian rhythm is your biological clock which regulates eating habits, sleeping habits, and other functions. Jet-lag, fatigue, and in extreme cases sleep disorders are results of disturbance to the Circadian rhythm.
More from wikipedia on Pinneal Gland- The pinneal gland also has other features. In children whom have had the gland destroyed by pathological growths, the result was accelerated development of sex organs, increased skeletal growth, and precocious mentality.
Last but not least, the Pinneal gland manufactures dimethyltryptamine or DMT. DMT is a psychedelic chemical which is believed to play a role in dreams and near-death experiences. Perhaps you've heard the old story that flouridation was accused of being a communist plot to administer LSD to the general public? Not so far off after all.

Urban legend has it that Nazis used flouridated water to keep prisoners docile. This is not supported by any reliable sources I have seen, but seems to be a plausible use for floride if given in strong concentrations.

Last but not least, here is another source on Flouride's effects.

Definitely, not least.
That article pretty much made me want to go outside and get some snow to melt and drink. Oh, wait, what falls from the sky is probably contaminate, too.
What kills me is my tap filter, PUR, goes out of their way to tell us that the flouride remains. I'm kind of curious how they can get rid of a lot of otherthings, but not the flouride
