Ah. That explains a lot.

You know its not a party until I show up.

Still waiting on andrew, unsaved, Chris McGarvey, and a few others though.

Maybe Nerbly Bear can chime in too.

European Union Environmental Services Ireland, march, 2007 wrote:Research over the past 30 years indicates that use of fluoride in a public water scheme leads to:

a) higher levels of bone cancer in boys, and brittle bones in adults

b) lower IQ levels (from 6-12 IQ points has been noted)

c) 40% of Irish children have fluorosis (mottling of teeth indicating enamel and related bone changes)

d) possible increased incidence of Alzheimer’s Disease (due to fluoride’s propensity to combine with other minerals, mainly lead and aluminium – higher than normal levels of aluminium are recorded in sufferer’s brains, fluoride is retained by the body, usually 50% in adults)

e) fluoride displaces iodine in the body – with evidence of associated thyroid problems

f) no increase in dental caries where fluoride ceases to be added to drinking water

I welcome any scientist who would like to comment, especially those who can refer myself and the reader to a link to actual verifiable research on fluoride-relevant matters - pro or con.
