I'd like to start a dedicated thread about the use of the nasty poison fluoride.
As you all know fluoride is widley used in dental products.
The facts, such as stated in the video procided by KC,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=LEZ15m-D_n8
are, I believe, tragically enough true when it comes to explaining the drop in IQ amongst other things associated with fluoride.
Some scientists say that fluoride based products shouldn't be used by pregnant women and it should also not be given to children under the age of 2.
How come do you think they, the scientists, suggests this then?
I'd say it's because they know full well what harm fluoride does during the development of the brain in kids and that it's a major cause to low IQ and God only knows what other harm it causes in terms of brain malfunctions etc.
Yes, fluoride indeed strengthens the teeth, even to the point of it becoming a dental desease known as dental fluorosis, http://www.who.int/water_sanitation_health/diseases/fluorosis/en/
This is when your teeth becomes so hardened by the fluoride that they in fact become brittle and cracks into tiny pieces when you chew something even remotely hard, like a sandwich for instance.
This of course gets worse the older you get.
(btw, did you read the part about skeletal fluorosis...?)
3 years ago I stopped using fluoride based dental products and I'd like to share some points of view which I think is relevant here.
First of all, the first year I went about my dental care business as usual.
This led to a rapid decay in my dental health, which manifested itself during a routine check up.
As a consequence of that I started using brushpics, tooth floss and mouthwash every time I brushed my teeth.
It's not easy finding fluoride free dental products, but they're out there on the www and most alternative health care stores stocks them aswell.
After two years my bodys enamel production had been restored so now my teeth are strong and healthy again.
My guess is that the fluoride inhibited the enamel production on my teeth as they got hardened anyway by the fluoride and then when I gave up on using fluoride it took (quite) a while for my native enamel production to resume normal production.
Another thing I've noticed is that I can now bend my legs far longer than before, in fact I can even sit in the lotus position without experiencing excruciating pain
How about that?
Anyway, these are just a few of my thoughts about the use of fluoride.

When choosing a water filter, for most of us it always comes down to getting out the fluoride, and there are very few options.
So Mercola's would be out for me, and the Berkey system only removes fluoride with the addition of a $55 cartridge (pf-2) which contains 'activated alumina' (aluminum oxide) to adsorb fluoride and arsenic.
Activated alumina concerns me...although constantly we read it's safe, and only adsorbs the fluoride & arensic from water (it is not soluble in water); we know to avoid aluminum (in deodorants, baking powder, cookware, cans, etc). So running our water over/through it is safe? Fluoride can't get past the blood/brain barrier, but when it bonds with aluminum it can. So does the small amount of fluoride that gets past the activated alumina filter media then bond with the aluminum in the water? They say "no" because the aluminum oxide isn't soluble in water...

Alumina
Aluminum originates as an oxide called alumina. Because aluminum itself does not occur in nature as a metal, the processing of aluminum took a giant leap forward with the advent of electricity.
Deposits of bauxite ore are mined and refined into alumina—one of the feedstocks for aluminum metal. Then alumina and electricity are combined in a cell with molten electrolyte called cryolite. Direct-current electricity is passed from a consumable carbon anode into the cryolite, splitting the aluminum oxide into molten aluminum metal and carbon-dioxide.
The molten aluminum collects at the bottom of the cell and is periodically “tapped” into a crucible and cast into ingots. While continual progress has been made over the more than 110-year history of aluminum processing to reduce the amount of electricity used, there are currently no viable alternatives to the electrometallurgical process.
However, between materials recovery and ongoing innovative research and development efforts, the industry is constantly searching for ways to reduce the amount of electricity used in aluminum production—and thus the related emissions and costs.
The worldwide alumina industry produces more than 70 million dry metric tons of bauxite residue annually. Australia is the largest alumina refiner in the world, processing nearly one-third of the global total.
