What do you think? Should the decision to keep/remove fluoride be based on medical science or ethics?

Science or Ethics?
Elections are looming closer, here in Lethbridge. We are all working hard to educate councillors and citizens. Often the conversations we have become bogged down with differing ideas about how fluoride affects our health. However, many other conversations (or heated arguments if you prefer) are spent hammering out whether or not governing bodies have the right to make medical decisions on our behalf.

This is a joke. 'Fluoridated water' cannot "discriminate" against other races or mothers who bottle feed, it's an inanimate object and the wording on this stupid flyer is terrible. Go live in one of those 95% of the world towns who don't have fluoride in their water then. Fluoride doesn't ONLY work topically you morons. I've been in the dental field for a very long time. If I get another one of these stupid flyers left on my car I will snap.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, it's proven that fluoride adversely affects the poor and elderly (because of the diminished ability of inferior nutrition to protect the body and ward off toxins).
DeleteFluoride in water adversely affects blacks and Hispanics because of their genetics, which differ from those of Caucasians.
It should also be obvious that dosage is an important factor in the equation, yet grossly ignored by biased “experts.” Those who drink more fluoridated water ingest more fluoride (2 + 2 = 4), which is known to accumulate in the body over time and compound the problem. In those senses, fluoride does indeed discriminate against certain segments of society.
Your logic is illogical and reason impaired, dreadfully so. You say you've "been in the dental field for a very long time." Independent, scientific, random, peer-reviewed studies have proven the detrimental effects of mercury and fluoride, two of your prime workplace elements. One of the many consequences of these is a dumbing down.
You need to know that as you've sown, though perhaps inadvertently, so you've reaped. The seeds you sow don't discriminate between intended and unintended harm. They grow where planted and return to the one sowing, multiplied.
It's no surprise that fearful people hide in the dark, afraid of their own thoughts and the thoughts of others who are willing to speak up and be identified. It's the difference between truth, which is accompanied by honesty and boldness, and dishonesty, bred in fear and insecurity of one's position. You need a thorough review of your life, anonymous; no joke.

Hello Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteFirst, I would just like to say that I really hope you aren't my dentist. It would be very disturbing if the man who cares for my teeth was so filled with rage that a flyer on his windshield would make him snap.
Second, Victor is right. Why would I trust the dental industry when it won’t even formally recognize the toxicity of mercury amalgams?
Third, if you have evidence that fluoride is indeed beneficial, will you please share it with me? To be clear, I want to see peer reviewed, double blind, non-industry funded studies. People like you are always telling everyone that there is proof but are NEVER willing to provide any. SHOW ME THE EVIDENCE AND I’LL SHOW YOU OURS. We have the science to back the truth. What you have is a pack of lies. If you have been in the dental industry for years, then surely you have responsibly kept current on toxicological studies pertaining to fluoride.
We’re trying to free Lethbridge from the tyranny you’re proud to be a part of. When people realize what gross negligence you’re responsible for, flyers on your windshield will be the least of your concerns.
