Fluoride is just about to be pumped into the water where I live on The Sunshine Coast whilst many other places around the world are taking it out because of potential dangers. Anna Bligh, our state premier declared that she will ensure we have fluoridated water, even though the majority of Queenslanders didn't want it. What's up Captain Bligh?
Here are some facts:
For 11 years between 1986 and 1997 a national survey of 39,000 United States schoolchildren revealed no statistically significant differences in tooth decay between children drinking fluoridated versus non-fluoridated water. In addition it was found that instead of building strong healthy teeth, fluoride damaged brain enzymes and lowered IQs (Zhao, Foulkes).
Want a quick hit of fluoride? Take Prozac. The prescription anti-depressant contains three fluoride molecules per molecule of fluoxetine.
And next year we start drinking recycled sewage. Is my government trying to kill me?
Its the pits. Had to install a Reverse Osmosis filter last Dec. Effective but could have done without the extra cost :-(

Hi Sam, saw your Twitter page. We're already drinking fluoride (and worse) in our water due to pharmacuetical drugs. Specifically the over-prescription of uneccessary drugs from time-stretched doctors. Particuarly in the U.S. but sooner, than later here in Oz much of the municipal water supplies will be contaminated by drugs. It's a big open secret that BigPharma dream of getting paid to just give everyone onto their drugs, so what's better than having it in the water supplies. Once you're on one drug you need another and so the snowball of covering sypmtoms begins! Enjoy the ride! LOL.
On a positive note, apparently there are some (expensive) water filters out there that claim to rid your crap water from everything under the sun - scientfically it's next to impossible with increasing nanotechnology making the molecules slip through the nth micron filters. Hmmm.
