saltwatermatt discovered 26 months ago- A bit long winded, and a bit ranty, but there is an important couple of stories here: Fluoride was considered a hazard to human health in the early 20th century, but later that century was being added to public water supplies as a public health measure. Perhaps it is not arthritis, but the effects of fluoride? Perhaps the gingivitis and readily fractured enamel on teeth is an overdose of fluorine. I don't know the answer, but some of the inaccurate data that used to be quoted has been corrected through the work of this author. Perhaps I shouldn't be subjecting myself to those topical applications of fluoride that my dentist recommends? A very topical issue for my home town of Geelong whose water is presently not fluorinated, but may be getting it when we connect into the Greater Melbourne water supply. The subject page I reached this article through was http://libaware.economads.com/fluoride.php

- If you're not clear on what all the hubbub is about regarding fluoride in water this is a good place to start reading about it. From the page: "Reader's Digest published HOW HONEST ARE DENTISTS?, by William Ecenbarger, winner of the George Polk Award for Investigative Journalism. The article revealed that in 28 states dentists examined the same set of x-rays and the same set of pearly whites, and then recommended widely differing treatments, with price tags to match: $500.00 to $29,850.00. They didn't seem to know what to do or how much to charge for doing it. "I got 50 opinions," Ecenbarger writes, "and I am not comforted." This article, however, barely scratches the surface with regard to dishonesty. For decades, the American Dental Association has worked hand in glove with industry to cover up the toxic properties of fluoride, causing untold pain and suffering among an unsuspecting population urged to trust their dentists, trust their government, trust their political leaders, no matter what. In the early 1930s, when American Dentistry was becoming aware of the damage fluoride can cause during the development of our children's teeth, there was a great call to remove the fluoride naturally present in water supplies. Communities in sixteen states had observed disfiguring stains and pits in their children's teeth. In 1940 the Journal of Dental Research contained a report describing a survey of the inhabitants of St. David, Arizona, where water supplies contained 1.6 to 4 parts per million of fluoride There was no apparent dental benefit from fluoride. In fact, more than half the people in all age groups over the age of twenty-three had artificial dentures. With this new awareness came fear."
