the thing is that floride does reduce the collective "IQ" of society, through the sheer amount of energy devoted to arguing about it
given that there is more than enough data to make complete and open determinations of all of florides effects, it would serve everybody to create and publish all of it.
there ARE problems with water supplies, worldwide, and there have been horrible mistakes and cover ups.
If there areedge cases and people with suseptibilities to floride(very likely), then that needs to be understood, and published. The simple fact is that there is a great deal of variability in human populations in how they can metabolise things in food and water, with some populations able to pass levels of arsinic that is lethal to others. There is one view point that suggests that population groups should be defined by there enzimatic balance, rather than ethnicity or race.
I personaly had a accidental, but major impact on our local water supply, when chatting with some
of our local legislators about our water, I joked that I was considering refuseing to pay my water bill, as water is defined as a coulorless, oderless liquid, and what came out of my tap, was niether......the one guy said "can I use that?"
we got a whole new water supply
clean water and air need to be primary, non negotiable rights, that every person has, and must be included in all municipal declarations, ie:no <i>clean water, no town or city<p></i>clean*~up to date published testing....no secrets<p>!trivia: floride was identified as benificial to dental health from small populations in ?sweden? switzerland? way way back, who had great teath, and the local wells have naturaly occuring, floride......
