Countries with no fluoride Finland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, The Netherlands, Israel, 50% Africa.
In Europe, only Ireland (73%), Poland (1%), Serbia (3%), Spain (11%), and the U.K. (11%) fluoridate their water supplies
Japan uses calcium fluoride not industrial sodium fluoride like you are advocating we use like in Australia

Fluoride Officially Classified as a Neurotoxin in World’s Most Prestigious Medical Journal
By Waking Science | February 10, 2016


The movement to remove industrial sodium fluoride from the world’s water supply has been growing in recent years, with evidence coming out against the additive from several sources.

Now, a report from the world’s oldest and most prestigious medical journal, The Lancet, has officially classified fluoride as a neurotoxin — in the same category as arsenic, lead and mercury.

As noted in the summary of the report, a systematic review identified five different similar industrial chemicals as developmental neurotoxicants: lead, methylmercury, polychlorinated biphenyls, arsenic, and toluene.

The summary goes on to state that six additional developmental neurotoxicants have also now been identified: manganese, fluoride, chlorpyrifos, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, tetrachloroethylene, and the polybrominated diphenyl ethers.

You won't finding anybody disputing that. But tuna contains mercury. Do we stop eating tuna? No, because the concentrations are too low to adversely impact.

Fluoride is found in tap water at around 0.7-1.0ppm (1part per million). It's around 0.3ppm in spring water and around 1.3ppm in groundwater. Many journals state that dangerous levels of fluoride exist at around 5g per L. You work out that that is in ppm

Anything in excess is dangerous. Many things that are dangerous in excess also benefit us in small amounts.

Just for the record, can I ask whether you are pro or anti vaccinations? That will determine how much longer i bother with this conversation.

Young children from parts of northern NSW without fluoridated water are being hospitalised for mass extractions of rotten teeth at nearly twice the rate of other children.

Dentists and paediatricians in Lismore and Ballina say tooth decay among young children is at Third-World levels.

The situation has prompted the Australian Dental Association to urge the federal government to use its influence to force councils swayed by ''fringe groups who peddle fear … and conspiracy theories'' to embrace water fluoridation.

In a statement intended to make water fluoridation an election issue, the association's federal president, Karin Alexander, said the government needed to make fluoridation of drinking water a condition of funding for all states and territories, particularly NSW and Queensland, or face a rising tide of child dental emergencies.

''Political parties [need] to have the guts to get into the debate, show some leadership and back the science and the experts to improve the dental health of all Australians.''

Ballina dentist Stephen Enright said he knew of many children as young as three who had had all or half their rotten teeth removed under general anaesthetic in local hospitals.

''You don't have to go to Nepal to work in a Third-World environment; you just come to Ballina or Lismore or one of the northern rivers public dental clinics,'' Dr Enright said.

Figures provided exclusively to Fairfax Media by NSW Health on Friday confirmed the rate of hospital admissions for the removal or restoration of teeth among children aged up to four in the Northern NSW Local Health District was 563.5 per 100,000 children a year - about 93 children. In contrast, the average across NSW is 331.1 per 100,000.

This district includes some towns with fluoride but most of the population resides in towns with no fluoridated water, including Lismore, Byron Bay and Ballina. A fortnight ago, Lismore voted against adding fluoride to the water, though a motion to reverse that will be debated this month. Ballina Shire Council voted to proceed, defeating anti-fluoride activists.

Byron remains opposed to the addition of fluoride. The issue is expected to be debated at the Local Government Association annual meeting next month.

It is not just the very young children who are going to hospital at high rates for mass extraction of rotten teeth, local experts say.

A few days ago, an eight-year-old child underwent a general anaesthetic at Lismore Base Hospital to have 12 rotten teeth extracted.

Political parties [need] to ... show some leadership and back the science and the experts to improve the dental health of all Australians.

While there are risks associated with general anaesthetic and invasive surgery, there is no evidence fluoride is dangerous for a child, experts say.

Lismore paediatrician Chris Ingall said the rate of dental decay in the region was ''extremely high'', especially among children from lower socio-economic backgrounds.

''These are children who we have to refer to dental clinics to remove half their primary [baby] teeth because they are rotten,'' he said.

The public dental clinics cannot keep up. Each has a waiting list of more than 100 children.

Dr Ingall said most people did not realise this level of tooth decay caused medical problems, including stunted growth because young children could not chew nutritious foods, and premature births.

Flouride added to the water supply is a chemical, be different is if was the natural mineral source being added.

Because "Keep the fluoride out of my Dihydrogen monoxide" just doesn't sound as convincing. :(

Did you know that 100% of all living things that consume dihydrogen monoxide die? Why isn't there more of an uproar about this? I mean, it's found in every home in the country. Every man, woman & child are exposed to it and consume it on a daily basis.

From memory, ablett is antivaxx, but Bazzar was ambivalent to the subject.

Yeah , I'm not vaxxed, nor are my kids, but how is that relevant to a grain debate!
 
Watching "Quarry" (HBO) set in the 70's

A scene in in a cafe.

Quarry was with another hitman having a coffee and orders black with butter, mixes it in.

Then the very last scene Quarry's with his GF and puts a slab of butter in his coffee. She said "what are you doing" He said "just trying something different"

Went straight to credits and some cool Booker T music . Very funny.

[edit- doubled up on the scene's]

Then the very last scene, popped a huge slab of butter in his coffee, the waitress said "what are you doing" he said "just trying something"

Went straight to credits and cool music. Very funny.

This "review" of BP coffee got sent to me, the author is obviously a BP coffee skeptic but is well off the mark with a few of her comments

the stuff about nutrient displacement is absolute garbage, grass fed butter is one of the most nutrient dense foods you can eat and regardless even 40g of fats only has 360 calories how difficult is it to ensure your remaining calorific intake has your required macro and micro nutrients?

a high fat diet has been shown to improve gut health not damage it

she mentions a study linking a high fat diet to a displaced Firmicutes-to-Bacteroidetes ratio which is linked to obesity. There is a very tenuous link indeed because there is 1 study showing this and it was only in mice. There are thousands of studies linking excessive carbohydrate consumption to obesity, insulin resistance, over eating and diabetes which should be of much greater concern

the only convincing argument she makes is that people should get checked by the doctor if they regularly consume BP coffee
