Posted a paranoia rant a cupple months ago after I became enraged that fluoride, we know it as a dental miracle, was actually quite toxic. More so than lead. I have been trying to find out who is insisting that this crap be injected into our water. Let me say that again. Somebody, namely the ADA, American dental association, has somehow gotten the govt to spring for a method to inject fluoride directly into our water which gets in our blood which flows through our brains, without doing any real long term research on it. (They couldnt use mice as sodium fluoride was used as a rat poison until recently). So we, in effect are the long term research. Here is a recent news article that was sent to me..
A coalition of health and environmental groups have filed a petition with the
EPA, indicating the agency has violated federal laws for establishing allowable
levels of fluoride pesticide residues in foods. The petition comes on the heels
of over 7,000 EPA employees calling for stronger limitations of fluoride in food
and water, as well as a recent report from the National Academy of Sciences
indicating the average American diet has unsafe levels of fluoride.
Specifically, the petitioners (including Fluoride Action Network, Beyond
Pesticides and Environmental Working Group) are asking the EPA to prohibit the
use of sulfuryl fluoride in food production. Elevated levels of fluoride are
associated with bone fractures, thyroid function losses, IQ deficits, bone
cancer, and Alzheimer's disease. The EPA has posted a public comment period on
the issue ending August 4, 2006. Learn more and take action here:

I was thankful that I could spring for the case of aquafina to bypass the guinea pig thing and see what happens to everybody else. Now, somebody is insisting that keeping fluoride out of food is somehow, not possible. Hmmm,
dont let your kids drink fluoridated water and make sure they spit out the darn toothepaste, just in case.
