The results are in: fluoridated water doesn't cause cancer

Australia’s leading health and medical research agency the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) recently completed 60 years' worth of research and found that fluoride in drinking water does not lower a person’s IQ, cause cancer or cause any other negative health effects.

The research, backed by 3000 studies, also found that fluoridation reduces tooth decay by 26% to 44% in children, teenagers and adults.

However, the study did include notes about there being insufficient evidence about any association with: chronic kidney disease; heart disease and high blood pressure; kidney stones; low birth weight; osteoporosis and musculoskeletal pain; thyroid function; gastric discomfort, headache, insomnia.

Sometimes these posts become very childish and I can not be bothered anynore

this website gives a list of the countries which have banned and/or stopped adding fluoride to water supplies.  it says,

Despite dental pressure, 99% of western continental Europe has rejected, banned, or stopped fluoridation due to environmental, health, legal, or ethical concerns

Only about 5% of the world population is fluoridated and more than 50% of these people live in North America.

highly toxic fluoride metal is a waste produce from aluminium refineries who are making a profit selling the stuff to the dental industry. who in turn, make a profit flogging it to gullible governments and people.

That dishonestly named website is clearly nothing but an outlet for the rantings of anti-fluoridationists. No scientific credibility at all.
