So you are claiming that it does, it may, it may not, cause something to happen to your body? How is that an argument for not fluoridating water?
This quote of yours just highlights your inability to read. I clearly state, what you consume affects your body no matter the dosage. Then I say, no matter what it effects your body. I then say the effects (meaning something absolutely happened to your body) may or may not be noticeable. Just because it is not noticeable, doesn't mean there was no effect. How on Earth did you read, "it may not cause something to happen to your body"???
For example, CANCER, in it's early stages shows no signs or symptoms. A lot of illnesses show no NOTICEABLE signs or symptoms at first. Meaning your body is effected, but you don't notice it. Do you understand now?
Fluoride has the same effect. It destroys your organs like all other toxins do at small dosages unnoticeably, and at large dosages destroys your body noticeably. Yes, salt, alcohol, chlorine, and all the other toxins we consume in small and large dosages kill us slowly, leading to many different illnesses that we have been brainwashed to shrug off as old age. That is why they are classified as toxins. Many people try to avoid these toxins, but they can't when it's in their water and food.
As for the rest of your post, you prove yet again you are closed minded, and you are ignoring posts, and or not comprehending what the posts say. You are not debating, you are just ignoring peoples posts and they saying "prove it", even though countless research papers, studies, and absolute logic have been shoved in your face.
It's hard not to comment about you on this topic since you seem to be the main character provoking replies with ridiculous amounts of ignorance.edit on 16-12-2013 by WeAre0ne because: (no reason given)

If you can't notice it, how on Earth can you link everything to fluoride?
Please provide credible sources for your claims.

There is a thing called chemistry, and chemical equations. We know the chemical composition of fluoride, and the chemical composition of different parts of our bodies, and we can calculate the reactions when the chemicals combine, and their effects. That has been done, and that is why fluoride is classified as a toxin. We found that the chemical reaction induced by fluoride in our bodies physically damages our bodies / organs, so we (science) labeled fluoride a toxin.
When I say, "you may not notice the effects of fluoride" I am talking about bodily symptoms, not physical evidence. There may not always be noticeable symptoms at small doses, such as reduced thyroid function, and or instant decrease in brain functionality, or flu like sickness, but there will always be a physical effect on our bodies which we can prove chemically. A silent killer so-to-speak.
If you want a credible source take a Chemistry 101 class. Or, simply take off your blinders, open your mind, and do some google searches for information that discredits your beliefs, instead of searching for info that erroneously supports them like you have been.edit on 17-12-2013 by WeAre0ne because: (no reason given)edit on 17-12-2013 by WeAre0ne because: (no reason given)

If you weren't so busy ignoring posts you would have noticed I posted proof long ago on this topic.
Also, I didn't post any personal attacks, I'm just stating facts. You are ignoring evidence and logic that proves you are incredibly wrong.
Should I post more info how small doses of fluoride affects the thyroid.... AGAIN? Proving that you are supporting a lie, AGAIN.
500 years? It only takes a few hours for small doses of fluoride to reduce thyroid function, and in turn cause various problems throughout your entire body. I already proved that in posts long ago.
You have proven that any "debate" with you is pointless. So I will not continue here. I'd rather talk to a brick wall.

"Fluoridation is the greatest case of scientific fraud of this century, if not of all time." ~ Robert Carton, Ph.D
"We would not purposely add arsenic to the water supply. And we would not purposely add lead. But we do add fluoride. The fact is that fluoride is more toxic than lead and just slightly less toxic than arsenic." ----Dr. John Yiamouyiannis
Only six days after almost every major newspaper around the world announced the results of a scientific review undertaken by the NHS Center for Reviews and Dissemination at the University of York - reporting the fluoridation of public water supplies to be a safe public health measure - shocking evidence was presented Thursday, 10-12-00, during an interview aired on Vancouver radio station CKST AM 1040 which revealed that the review thought to be the "final word on fluoridation" might well turn out be the greatest scientific fraud ever undertaken by a center in charge of evaluating scientific information in the interest of public health.

I run it threw an 8 stage filter. Only chemicals could get threw that which I think is what that is. The city website shows how much flouride they put in. It's not much fortunately, but still, bothers me

Pathetic...
You were arguing that low doses of fluoride are harmless, and I proved you wrong. I explained to you that low doses of fluoride were once used as medication to reduce thyroid functionality. Reduced thyroid functionality causes a multitude of problems in the body, even life threatening problems in the long run.
I provided a link that "has nothing to do with water fluoridation" because within that link is a quote and a source about fluoride used as a medication, and its effect on the thyroid. The other resources I mention contain other information about toxicity, and key points of information that make you look like a fool, but you have not read them, so there is no point discussing them. I just proved you didn't read any of the sources I posted in completeness.
If you limit yourself to links and information only discussing "water fluoridation" specifically, and ignore everything else regarding fluoride and consuming toxic chemicals, you will miss out on a lot of important information... no wonder you support such a ridiculous and ignorant position on the matter.

According to a 2006 report by the National Research Council of the National Academies1 , fluoride is "an endocrine disruptor in the broad sense of altering normal endocrine function."
This altered function can involve your thyroid, parathyroid, and pineal glands, as well as your adrenals, pancreas, and pituitary.
Your thyroid gland and its associated hormones are responsible for maintaining your body's overall metabolic rate, and for regulating normal growth and development. As all metabolically active cells require thyroid hormone for proper functioning, disruption of this system can have a wide range of effects on virtually every system of your body. Thyroid dysfunction is considered among the most prevalent of endocrine diseases in the United States.

This happens at low doses. Now get out of here with your B.S.!!

An RO unit will take everything out but will lower the pH down to around 5.00 (assuming it was neutral coming in) so there could be problems with that. That's why they usually add sodium hydroxide to raise the pH levels after it goes through the RO system in a municipal water treatment plant.

You do realize that your second "proof" has nothing to do with water fluoridation right? It was about the Chinese study already mentioned many times in this thread.
Surprisingly Tiny Amounts of Fluoride Can Change Your Thyroid Function
Altered thyroid function is associated with fluoride intakes as low as 0.05-0.1 mg fluoride per kilogram body weight per day (mg/kg/day), or 0.03 mg/kg/day with iodine deficiency. Increased prevalence of goiter (>20 percent) is associated with fluoride intakes of 0.07-0.13 mg/kg/day, or 0.01 mg/kg/day with iodine deficiency.4
For a 70 kg (154 pound) adult, this means that 3.5 mg fluoride per day (or 0.7 mg fluoride per day with iodine deficiency) could result in thyroid dysfunction. The most recent exposure analysis by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency5 estimates that the average American adult is consuming nearly 3 mg fluoride on a daily basis, and some are routinely ingesting 6 mg per day or more.
Even more concerning, however, are the doses of fluoride in children.
For a 14 kg (30 pound) child, fluoride intakes greater than 0.7 mg per day (or 0.14 mg per day with iodine deficiency) puts the child at risk for endocrine dysfunction. The EPA (2010) estimates children within this weight range (1-3 year-olds) consume over 1.5 mg fluoride each day, or more than twice the amount necessary to induce altered thyroid function, even with an adequate iodine intake.
These chronic exposures could have profound and life-long effects on the intellectual, social, sexual and overall physical development of children.
Numerous studies have found a relationship between relatively low to moderate levels of fluoride exposure and reduced IQ in children6 . Even fluoride levels of less than 1.0 mg/L have been associated with reduced IQ and increased frequency of hypothyroidism in children experiencing iodine deficiency7.
