bad, counter-culture cynic like me to believe
that our governments would let companies
pollute our bodies with untested chemicals
that they think will work , that make them
happier with their products that are made
smoother, because of an oil slick of
chemicals.
If you believe that fluoride is just a chemical
runoff that companies bottled and foisted on
us, with bribing of politicians under the
banner of tooth enamel protection, then
this story is for you.
Couple it with the Zerohedge story on how
the US is getting stupider:

Harvard
Research Finds Link Between Fluoridated Water, ADHD & Mental Disorders

New
research published in The Lancet by researchers from the Harvard School of
Public Health (HSPH) and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS)
found that various chemicals that many children are exposed to are having a
direct effect on the creation of disorders labelled under the name ADHD as well
as other mental disorders. One of the chemicals said to be having an effect is
fluoride, or variations of fluoride. Governments have been performing
artificial fluoridation for a number of years regardless of the lack of effectiveness it has in preventing tooth
decay.
The
research began in a study published in 2006 which initially looked at the
effects of various industrial chemicals
on neuro-development.[1] The research continued with an analysis of more
industrial chemicals including fluoride. 27 additional studies, including one
that linked fluoride to the lowering of
IQ in children, clearly illustrated the fact that fluoride is detrimental
to brain development and can lead to autism spectrum disorders and other mental
issues. The issue is being coined “a silent epidemic” and most health
authorities continue to turn a blind eye to the issue.
The two main researchers involved in the
study, Philippe Grandjean from HSPH and Philip Landrigan, both agree that the
reason for the increase in incidences of chemical-related neuro-developmental
disorders is due to the increasing number of untested chemicals that are being approved without proper testing.
The public is also not fully being told of the dangers which is causing many to perform independent research to
find out the true effects. The issue is not just in water fluoridation, but
also in the vaccination of our children.
“Since
2006, the number of chemicals known to damage the human brain more generally,
but that are not regulated to protect children’s health, had increased from 202 to 214,” writes Julia Medew
for The Sydney Morning Herald. “The pair said this could be the tip of the
iceberg because the vast majority of the more than 80,000 industrial chemicals widely used in the United States have never
been tested for their toxic effects on the developing fetus or child.”
The fact is, fluoride is a known developmental neurotoxin and practices of water
fluoridation have long been proven to be ineffective. If individuals choose to
use fluoridated tooth paste or choose fluoride treatments at their dental
office, that is acceptable but two
things should happen:
1. People should be taught about the harmful
effects of fluoride and the damage it
can cause to your teeth and your body.
2. Water fluoridation should be stopped everywhere immediately as it is
nothing more than a legal way for chemical
companies to get rid of toxic waste while profiting.
Fluoride accumulates
in the body over time, so even though the amounts being ingested might be small
each time, it builds up over years and can cause serious health issues.
Research has found that fluoride affects normal endocrine function, causes kidney disease, bone weakness, dental
fluorosis, cancer, lowering of IQ, calcification of the pineal gland,
arthritis, immune deficiencies, skeletal fluorosis and much more.

Submitted by Michael Snyder of The American Dream blog, Are people dumber than they used to be? Were previous generations mentally sharper than us? You may have suspected that people are getting stupider for quite some time, but now we actually have scientific evidence that this is the case. As you will read about below, average IQs are dropping all over the globe, SAT scores in the U.S. have been declining for decades, and scientists have even discovered that our brains have been getting smaller over time. So if it seems on some days like you woke up in the middle of the movie “Idiocracy”, you might not be too far off. Much of the stuff that they put in our junk food is not good for brain development, our education system is a total joke and most Americans are absolutely addicted to mindless entertainment. Fortunately we have a lot of technology that does much of our thinking for us these days, because if we had to depend on our own mental capabilities most of us would be in a tremendous amount of trouble. Sadly, this appears to be a phenomenon that is happening all over the planet. As a recent Daily Mail article explained, IQ scores are falling in country after country… Richard Lynn, a psychologist at the University of Ulster, calculated the decline in humans’ genetic potential. He used data on average IQs around the world in 1950 and 2000 to discover that our collective intelligence has dropped by one IQ point. Dr Lynn predicts that if this trend continues, we could lose another 1.3 IQ points by 2050. One IQ point does not sound like a lot, but when you go back even further in time the declines become a lot more dramatic. For example, a psychology professor at the University of Amsterdam named Jan te Nijenhuis has calculated that we have lost a total of 14 IQ points on average since the Victorian Era. And we don’t need a professor to tell us that this is true. Just go back and read some of the literature from that time period. Much of it is written at such a high level that I can barely even understand it. There is other evidence that people are getting stupider as well. For instance, SAT scores in the United States have fallen significantly in recent years… There appears to be a disturbing trend in American high schools. If we judge the quality of education by the scores that students get on their SATs, then it appears that things are getting worse. Since 2006, the overall average SAT score has fallen by 20 points, dropping from 1518 to 1498 in 2012. Scores are also down in each of the three categories tested, with reading dropping 9 points, mathematics dropping 4 points, and writing falling 9 points. It’s a fair bet that students aren’t becoming less intelligent, so exactly what is going on? And this decline in SAT scores is not just limited to the past few years. As the following chart from Zero Hedge demonstrates, SAT scores have been declining in America for decades…
