For hundreds of thousands of years we have been drinking water with fluoride in it. Often times at harmful levels. For hundreds of thousands of years peoples' teeth rotted away in areas which didn't have natural fluoride.

What's your point, keep it quite, don't repeat incase someone hasn't heard, don't want the info out there?
You have 2nd invitation

There isn't enough evidence that it does harm in such a small concentration. They need to do much more research on it.

I hate to ask but I must, can you provide a link for your above statement?

That is the same thing "they" said about DDT/asbestos/Lead paint/agent orange/ etc etc and more times a thousand.
Will we ever learn that a chemical is just that and not natural?

Plenty of lies in this thread lmao. Guys, don't trust anyone who says something is good for you.
2 Cities where I live, the one I live in doesn't fluoridate but the other one does yet we have overall better teeth and lesser problems. This is enough proof for me to say that fluoride does more damage than ANY good.
Like others have said, there's a business in getting people sick. This is why we pay for healthcare! People need to start learning that we are just experiments for other generations to come. No government, doctor or business gives a crap about what they do to us cause they know the people they pay to spread lies do a damn good job at it.

Wow great thread, love to invite some of you fluoridation supporters around for aluminium by product tea party. Phage you have the first invite
Autism? Look into immunisation.
Alzheimer's, look into aluminium.
People are slowly starting to understand sickness is a business, get it?

Is this your picture?
You should concentrate on this picture:
BRAIN Fluoride’s ability to damage the brain is one of the most active areas of fluoride research today. In the past three decades, over 100 studies have found that fluoride exposure can damage the brain.
This research includes: Over 40 animal studies showing that prolonged exposure to varying levels of fluoride can damage the brain, particularly when coupled with an iodine deficiency, or aluminum excess;
37 human studies linking moderately high fluoride exposures with reduced intelligence;
19 animal studies reporting that mice or rats ingesting fluoride have an impaired capacity to learn and remember; 12 studies (7 human, 5 animal) linking fluoride with neurobehavioral deficits (e.g., impaired visual-spatial organization);
3 human studies linking fluoride exposure with impaired fetal brain development.
Based on this accumulating body of research, several prestigious reviews — including a report authored by the U.S. National Research Council and a meta-analysis published by a team of Harvard scientists – have raised red flags about the potential for low levels of fluoride to harm brain development in some members of the population.
The NRC Review (2006) In 2006, the National Research Council (NRC) stated that “it is apparent that fluorides have the ability to interfere with the functions of the brain.” In addition to calling for U.S.-based research on fluoride’s IQ effects, the NRC expressed concern about fluoride’s possible contribution to dementia. According to the NRC: “Studies of populations exposed to different concentrations of fluoride should be undertaken to evaluate neurochemical changes that may be associated with dementia. Consideration should be given to assessing effects from chronic exposure, effects that might be delayed or occur late-in-life, and individual susceptibility.”
EPA’s Neurotoxicology Division Review (2007) In 2007, scientists from the Neurotoxicology Division of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency identified fluoride as having “substantial evidence” of “developmental neurotoxicity.” A developmental neurotoxin is a chemical that can damage the young, developing brain. The EPA scientists based their conclusion on studies showing that fluoride exposure during pregnancy can damage the brain of the offspring. Consistent with EPA’s assessment, three studies from China have found that the brain of the human fetus can be significantly damaged by the mother’s high fluoride intake. While the safe dose for preventing this effect is not yet known, some adults in western countries have higher urinary fluoride levels of fluoride than the mothers in the Chinese studies (=4.3 ppm). (Mansfield 1999; Yu 1996; Dong 1993).
Harvard Review (2012) In July of 2012, a team of Harvard researchers published a “meta-analysis” of 27 studies that have investigated the relationship between fluoride and human intelligence. (Choi 2012) The overwhelming majority of these studies found that fluoride exposure was associated with reduced IQ in children. In fact, 26 of the 27 studies that met the Harvard team’s inclusion criteria found a relationship between elevated fluoride and reduced IQ. The Harvard team thus concluded that fluoride’s effect on the developing brain of children should be a “high research priority” in countries like the U.S. where, despite mass fluoridation programs, no studies have yet been conducted to investigate the issue.
As noted by Dr. Philippe Grandjean, an environmental health scientist at the Harvard School of Public Health: “Fluoride seems to fit in with lead, mercury, and other poisons that cause chemical brain drain. The effect of each toxicant may seem small, but the combined damage on a population scale can be serious, especially because the brain power of the next generation is crucial to all of us.”
