Key word: Excessive.
Excessive fluoride also causes lowered intelligence. Properly dosed water fluoridation does not.
We could make this easy take away positive and negative how about we don't put it in the water no harm no foul i mean I don't see why we need to put it in the water every element put in water to clean or sanitize has a purpose fluoride has no need to be in drinking water we get enough of it in toothpaste and mouth wash now what purpose does it have in drinking water...???
You are 100% correct, and I recommend that you dont use mouthwash, toothpaste or dental treatments with fluoride in them, as it has been proven to lower the intelligence of humans.

Also let me interject to answer the OPs next question.
There is NO safe level of Sodium fluoride for the human body.
NO amount of Sodium Fluoride has ever been shown to be safe for human consumption, ever.
Sorry for taking so long to respond.
I found the reason why there are no double blind studies:
Studies on the effectiveness of adjusting fluoride in community water to the optimal concentration cannot be designed as randomized clinical trials. Random allocation of study subjects is not possible when a community begins to fluoridate the water because all residents in a community have access to and are exposed to this source of fluoride. In addition, clinical studies cannot be conducted double-blind because both study subjects and researchers usually know whether a community's water has been fluoridated. Efforts to blind the examiners by moving study subjects to a neutral third site for clinical examinations, using radiographs of teeth without revealing where the subjects live, or including transient residents as study subjects have not fully resolved these inherent limitations.
From here.
I knew there had to be a reason. How would you propose they do a double blind experiment when the people live in the town and all pipes leading to the house come from the water plant? The Newburgh-Kingston study is as close as it can possibly get.
To have a double blind study with water fluoridation is not only nearly impossible for long term but I can't think of a single way it could be done.
So why no bouble blind study today?
Are you saying they cant do one now, its to late. We dont have the technology to do a double blind study?
We dont have the time? the money?
No they (the pro fluoride camp) dont WANT to , because it will prove once and for all that fluoride is poison.
In 60 years no double blind study??? Hmm, wonder why? We must not be capable.

Why not today? Where? Build a special town that has two set of water pipes coming from the water plant with two different reservoirs?
clinical studies cannot be conducted double-blind because both study subjects and researchers usually know whether a community's water has been fluoridated.
How would you propose they do a double blind study? It isn't feasible. If it were, why don't the anti-fluoride people do one to prove that it is harmful, once and for all? Why? Because all available science points to them being wrong.

Who gives a flying pig whether it's good or not that's a waste of time avoid it and by the way I have fluoride free toothpaste have a water filter for that as well but it's not only fluoride that we should be worried about that's the least... How about thymerisol in the vaccinations, or have you ever seen when a person gets a cavity filled with mercury how their mouth starts smoking...

Before you swallow it, it goes all over the mouth making contact with and leaving fluoride on your teeth.
In the lower doses used for water fluoridation, the only clear adverse effect is dental fluorosis, which can alter the appearance of children's teeth during tooth development; this is mostly mild and is unlikely to represent any real effect on aesthetic appearance or on public health.[16]

So how exactly would a double blind study work using two different towns? If you are saying that would work then I have already linked to you the Newburgh-Kingston study which you claimed to read...

Well if I worked at Coca Cola I would be easily convinced I'm selling a good product to kids as well. So I understand why you are convinced.
Now tell me again why they cant make pills and hand em out in poor neighbourhoods. Much cheaper unless they are actually dumping toxic waste in the water supplies ofcourse. Not saying it is but then it would make sense.
Well for one, I don't work with water fluoridation so there goes that argument.
I have no idea why they don't hand out pills! As another poster from another country said, they gave them pills. I would think that a mouth rinse would make more sense.
How would dumping toxic waste into the water supply make sense!??!?

Lots of fear there. Not much science or facts.

Your argument is uninformed and idiotic.
Fluoride damages the Thyroid at any dose. No matter what, fluoride will always cause a harmful chemical reaction in your body. You can either slowly damage your body over time with small doses, or damage it instantly in one large dose. No matter what, damage is being done.
Most studies of fluoride usually quote "excess doses" because that is the only time the side effects become obvious, and more notable for study. Keyword SIDE EFFECTS. Your thyroid can be damaged long before you see side effects.
Small doses of fluoride are known to affect the thyroids function. That is why they used it as a medication to reduce thyroid function, because it worked so well with little dose compared to other substances that require higher doses. These are the REAL FACTS.

Yes I do. Do you?
You are saying that the control and the fluoride drinkers should not be located in the same location? Does this work with any other study? Is that not the point? To be drinking the SAME water, one fluoridated, one not? Kingston-Newburgh satisfies that condition.
Nice attempt at a straw man argument though. Pointing out my inadequacies instead of staying on point.

Your claim. Prove it.

Right. Harmful. No side effects in low doses. You are making my argument for me.
The argument actually still stands because it is very obvious your work at the waterplant made you this passionate about convincing yourself and others the water you help distributing in one way or another isnt harmfull.
Assuming the toxic waste would contain fluoride it would be cheaper than handing out pills.
Now you have no reason to promote fluoride tap water anymore. Instead you should be asking yourself why they are wasting so much money on fluorising the water supply.

UH no this whole thread is based on your fallacious claim of fluorides safety. You prove it by showing a double blind study, or stop lying to the public.
