I've read a ton of stuff on the internet telling me that Fluoride is toxic to the brain.

Anyone ever heard about this?

Wackos on both the left and right going back to the John Birch Society have been calling flouridation of water a Commie/Capitalist plot against America since the fifties. Its the source of General Jack D. Ripper's line: "I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids," in Dr. Strangelove...

Don't say that you're more sorry than I am, because I'm capable of being just as sorry as you are... So we're both sorry, all right,

The research claims that the flouride goes straight to the pineal.

Are you saying that this is BS?

How do I know for sure...?

Sometimes it's tough to know what to believe and what's crap. Just keep reading about it to see if others are finding the same things.

Orbs, if you haven't already seen this amazing film by Kubrick, you simply must. Buffy's comments above will become much less obscure to you.

ok...

so why are there so many websites claiming scientific research regarding flouride being neurotoxic?

Havn't gotten a straight answer yet.

I dunno, why are there so many websites claiming that Intelligent Design and Creationism have merit, or that the holocaust never happened?

Honestly mate, considering the lifestyle you've so frequently discussed, it makes me laugh that you'd be concerned about something like flouride.

Peace back atcha.
