In some country's in the world, they put fluoride in the drinking water. This is extremely toxic in high doses. I would definitely research the water you're drinking and the topic of fluoride as well. On toothpaste packages in the Netherlands it says when u swallow the size of a pea of toothpaste (with fluoride ) you should contact a doctor! Great post though,

Yes I know, thank you for sharing that.
I actually only drink bottled or filtered water, regular tap water can be infused with fluoride and other added substances with negative health consequences.
You're welcome! Yep I know, maybe some people who don't can research it a little bit better now.
Cheers
@ernstjan @sirwinchester I'm glad the news is getting out not only about water but about fluoride!
Literally just made a post about it here: https://steemit.com/steemit/@amvanaken/50-things-you-may-not-know-about-fluoride
Much Love!
Hope you drink lots more filtered water than plastic bottled water.
Even BPA-free plastic bottles are laced with other chemicals that leech into the water if bottles are exposed to heat or sit around too long. Don't need extra endocrine disruptors in our bodies! :)
it is in most water to prevent bacteria growth and is totally fine at the dosage they use
That is the first time I have ever heard that fluoride is add to prevent bacteria growth, I was always told in school that it was in the water to help protect our teeth.
It is there to shut your pineal gland off. Research it, you'll see
I believe that more than I do that it is totally fine at low the dosage "they" use.
Yes it does do that as well as it helps enamel growth
Fluoride is only one of numerous environmental pressures which impact on oral bacterial communities, yet its beneficial effect on caries is such that it could be proposed that in addition to its effects on enamel and remineralization, fluoride would affect the bacteria.

Fluoride is actually way more effective in the topical route instead of being added to the city water supplies, both efficiency-wise and economically speaking. ~99% of fluoride added to the water goes straight down the drain and this can be MILLIONS in useless spending for cities when toothpaste costs what $3 MAX?
Another interesting thing to note is that some people (like those with kidney disease) drink more water and thus are more exposed. Not to mention the shower being a huge source of fluoride. The skin is the largest organ. And fluoride is stored in calcifying tissues https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=pineal+fluoride+calcium like the bones and the pineal gland.
Most cities add chlorine to deal with bacteria. Fluoride is mostly added to water because toxic waste corporations would have to spend money disposing of....Y'know, because it's so toxic it can't be allowed into the environment... Anyhoo, it's a Multi-Billion $ toxic waste industry now, thanks to the propaganda that everybody is now very familiar with. It was sold as poison initially though and it's still sold as poison to this day, I know people in the pest control industry who confirm this reluctantly.
I wasn't saying that you wrong I had just never heard that before. As for me I'll just stay on well water and stay away from the the stuff. I prefer my water without all the government goodness.
It helps rematerialized teeth when applied topically, on occasion, but should not be the main thing you use to make your teeth healthy. It won't change much.
It does help with bacteria from what I remember, but it doesn't help at all with teeth if consumed in water or a beverage as it's a topical treatment.
you mean like in the US where they put fluoride in all water reservoirs?
