Fluoride poisoning, the arguments rumble on

Nobody wants to think they've been poisoned by fluoride. 
.
The first reaction of many is to reject the information. 
.
I heard about this years ago but managed to block the information.
.
A common first reaction to hearing that the water supply could be dangerous. 
.
If you're like me, you probably don't want to think any government could be systematically poisoning us intentionally. 
.
I still have a major problem with that idea. 
.
Let's call it denial.
.
Lots of people on the internet are concerned about this. 
.
Articles, videos, suffering people.
.
It's all right here for study and perusal. 
.
If you haven't researched this yet, perhaps now is a good time. 
.
You may be exposing yourself and family members to fluoride in ways you don't suspect.
.
Approximately 66 percent of the USA has fluoridated public water and some bottled water is fluoridated as well. 
.
Only 2 percent of western Europe has public water fluoridation, mostly in the UK.
.
Those complaining about fluoridated water say that fluoride is used in rat poison and other insecticides. 
.
They say it is a toxic by-product of industries such as the aluminum industry, phosphate fertilizer manufacturers, and others.
.
Rather than disposing of fluoride toxic waste, these industries are selling fluoride to the government to be put into our water.
.
So who is right? 
.
The citizens and doctors and dentists who warn against fluoride on websites and YouTube, or governmental and other agencies? 
.
Is it true that fluoride is an active ingredient in rat poison? 
.
Does your toothpaste tube really have a fluoride warning label on it? 
.
Mine doesn't because I've been using fluoride-free natural toothpaste for a long time now.
.
On top of all the other charges, anti-fluoridation activists say that sodium fluoride was first added to water by Hitler as it helped keep prisoners under control.
.
There's natural fluoride in most waters already
.
But the US government adds the chemical fluoride from industrial waste. 
.
Fluoridation is intended to balance the amount of fluoride in the public water systems.
.
If you're trying to avoid fluoride, be aware that it is probably present in bottled and canned drinks.
.
Such as soft drinks, beers, even health-food and energy drinks when those drinks are manufactured in areas where there's fluoride in the public water system.
.
One more thing to be aware of fluoride may be absorbed through the skin while bathing.
.
And what is the damage that fluoride allegedly does?
.
Why in undetermined amounts it damages the kidneys, the thyroid glands, the brain, increases memory loss, as a mutagenic compound it causes cancers of the bladder and bones and produces damage to the gastric mucosa.

Unfortunately only recently is serious research being done in many of these areas.
.
You might want to look into getting a water purification unit for your shower head if you live in an area where the public water system contains fluoride.
.
On the other hand you might want to do nothing.
.
And if you live in Latin America, Central America, Asia, Middle East, Europe in other words the rest of the world then no worries, little or no fluoride in your water!
.
Wonder why?
.
Because in many of these countries it was considered illegal of governments to introduce any chemical substance that altered the water supply.
.
Authorities had no legal basis for adding chemicals to drinking water if they did not improve the safety as such. 
.
The simple reason is that consumers cannot choose a different tap water provider. 


Also the possibly harmful and deprivation of the rights of citizens to be free from unwelcome mass medication.
.
So there you have it another ongoing controversy.
