Then, as EPA was engaged in revising its drinking water standard for fluoride in 1985, an employee came to the union with a complaint: he said he was being forced to write into the regulation a statement to the effect that EPA thought it was alright for children to have "funky" teeth. It was OK, EPA said, because it considered that condition to be only a cosmetic effect, not an adverse health effect. The reason for this EPA position was that it was under political pressure to set its health-based standard for fluoride at 4 mg/liter. At that level, EPA knew that a significant number of children develop moderate to severe dental fluorosis, but since it had deemed the effect as only cosmetic, EPA didn't have to set its health-based standard at a lower level to prevent it.
In 1995, Mullenix and co-workers2 showed that rats given fluoride in drinking water at levels that give rise to plasma fluoride concentrations in the range seen in humans suffer neurotoxic effects that vary according to when the rats were given the fluoride - as adult animals, as young animals, or through the placenta before birth. Those exposed before birth were born hyperactive and remained so throughout their lives. Those exposed as young or adult animals displayed depressed activity. Then in 1998, Guan and co-workers3 gave doses similar to those used by the Mullenix research group to try to understand the mechanism(s) underlying the effects seen by the Mullenix group. Guan's group found that several key chemicals in the brain - those that form the membrane of brain cells - were substantially depleted in rats given fluoride, as compared to those who did not get fluoride.
The type of cancer of particular concern with fluoride, although not the only type, is osteosarcoma, especially in males. The National Toxicology Program conducted a two-year study10 in which rats and mice were given sodium fluoride in drinking water. The positive result of that study (in which malignancies in tissues other than bone were also observed), particularly in male rats, is convergent with a host of data from tests showing fluoride's ability to cause mutations (a principal "trigger" mechanism for inducing a cell to become cancerous) e.g.11a, b, c, d and data showing increases in osteosarcomas in young men in New Jersey12 , Washington and Iowa13 based on their drinking fluoridated water. It was his analysis, repeated statements about all these and other incriminating cancer data, and his requests for an independent, unbiased evaluation of them that got Dr. Marcus fired.

It is amazing that the research on how bad fluoride is still doesnt get through to you..
I am sorry for your inability to see that..

I doubt many would argue that point - it should be a matter of choice. But if your choice is based on flawed or inadequate scientific proof, that puts a different slant on the whole issue, doesn't it?
Not really, this is his personal choice, not one he can necessarily force on the municipality he resides in.
A personal choice doesn't have to be base on scientific proof, whether adequate or inadequate, a personal choice is based on personal opinion or just how a person feels about any issue. Whether it be municipal water fluoridation or anything else.

I know that there is a conspiracy that flouride affects the pineal gland, is that true??

The germans knew.
Use of Sodium Fluoride for mass behaviour control in Nazi Germany
That's highly disputed, if not totally debunked. Dragging the Nazis into an argument is a kind of emotional blackmail that does nothing to elaborate the real issues.

What so you think they gave them fluoride for their health?

I mean that the claim people were dosed with fluorides for that purpose *and it worked* has been debunked. Read the pages of the thread before, there's evidence to challenge the claim.

It is not so much that there's evidence to dispute the claim - it is that there is no actual evidence to support it in the first place - i is made by someone who claimed to have been told it by "unknown" Germans, and who others have claimed was placed "in charge" of IG Farben after WW2 - the first makes it hearsay, the 2nd is false.
No other evidence has ever been found to support it.
