Because he’s a politician and that’s what they do

@Dermot

True, it was probably a stupid question to ask as we all know politicians with the exception of a very very small minority have no conviction whatsoever except the conviction to make tons of cash and retire to mansions. I just thought I’d ask it anyway :-)

Ha! You quoted natural news as a reliable source – oh Christ, that’s adorable.

Why don’t you download Declan Waugh’s report on Fluoride and start opening your eyes. The terms, conspiracy theorist, nut job, etc, are always the first clubs that are used against those who speak out against what is going on. Our nation has been robbed by the IMF and yet there are still fools who convince themselves that this is not happening.

No David,I grabbed the first source I could find this morning.I could well post several more sources now but what would be the point? you would never read them,because you have already made your mind up and anybody that doesn’t think that way is a “conspiracy theorist” and “nutjobs” etc. This is a means to dismiss people and stifle debate.

Yeah, see, I like my sources from actual peer reviewed studies and articles. Not pulled out of someone’s paranoid delusion. Cheers all the same.

Wait till they put lithium in our tap water they are trying hard to add lithium salts because we are all sad and killing or self

Proper insanity if I ever heard it. Self medicating yourself stupid due to thirst. If we all drank our recommended 9 glasses a day maybe they only need to get us to vote once in future!
The damage fluoride does to the pituitary gland is irreversible, so every year of consuming tap water and produced items from soft drinks to tinned soup we are getting more than the “safe dose” and making us more docile and subservient, losing the will or motivation to question or fight authority.
The Russians and Germans used it and had plans to use it through out Europe to keep the masses docile, The Aussie army and many others still heavily fluoridate water supplies.

Natural calcium fluoride is insoluble and the body is able to filter it where as sodium fluoride its totally soluble and builds up in our bones and brains. There is no better rat poison than sodium fluoride and fluoride is a main component in Sarin and other neuro toxins, I G Farben who made Zyclon B for the Nazi’s made it as its a by toxic by-product from aluminium manufacturing. They pumped it in to the concecntration camps and army barracks to dumb down and make the occupants docile and easy to manage. Today they do the same thing with a lower dosage and still try sell the crap its good for children’s teeth, not adults.
Christ even baby formula recommends not to use their products with fluoridated tap water. Many state it on their tins. Your poisoning your baby with the stuff, and to be continually endorsed by out Government is nothing short of criminal. To which each TD and “adviser” should be held legally liable for their continued use of it on an entire population against their wishes.
Sick really thinking about it.

The conspiracy nutjobbers really love the fluoride in the water stuff. It’d be great if some reputable scientists from UCD, TCD etc could put it to rest. They surely aren’t working for the CIA, FBi & co.

It’s crazy… My other half in the USA had hippy parents and now needs several thousand euro of dental work.

Conspiacy nutjobs eh… Tell you what,a team of water filtration engineers and a marine engineer along with teams of scientists that would differ but hey ho you know all about it.
You want to slowly poison yourself and your children then work away,personally I am putting a triple pass filtration/purification system on the domestic line and “yes” I will pay water charges.

I would think a pharmacologist, neurologist or biochemist would be the ones qualified to answer such a question rather than a ‘water filtration engineer’ or any kind of engineer come to think of it… Out of interests though did he sell you the extended life warrantee and service cover for your diamond level complete water integration system while he was at it?

Scientific evidence??? It was an Irish bishop (McQuaid) that forced fluoride on the Irish population.

@TFM

Yo Regionald’s Tower, should you not be on some web page spewing israeli propaganda clap trap? Let me guess you’re now an expert on water fluoridation aswell as middle east politics?

Actually Andrew now that you ask…..No,they didn’t and the system is designed by a marine engineer …myself.
The water engineers hold PHD’s in bio chemestry and selling €200 systems is not quite their line.

You might like to look at some medical and scientific data showing the dangers that fluoride poses to our health.

The no floride.com site has links to research from a Swedish Medical Nobel Prize winner, Harvard University, Mount Sinai Medical Hospital, The American Dental Association, The American Medical Association, and UNICEF to mention just some of the “Hippies” who are concerned about this toxic substance. Ireland is now one of the only remaining countries to fluoridate its water supply.

Yeah them conspiracy nuts at Harvard wanna stop drinking the Kool- aid.

Andrew / Thomas

Either you guys are not parents or are parents whose infant children are or were raised on breast milk. Otherwise you would know that water containing added fluoride should not be used, on health grounds, when making infant bottles using formulae. In other words the public water supplied in Ireland is medically dangerous to Irish infants.

If you don’t believe me simply go to your nearest supermarket, pick up a box of baby formulae & read the instructions.

Only one reason exists for companies that produce baby formulae tod place this product warning on their boxes. To protect them from legal action should parents use fluoridated water when making babies bottles!

However as long as it is cheaper to add fluoride to public water supplies in Ireland, than actually doing things safely then the Irish authorities will continue using it.

However you are free to continue believing what the authorities tell you and therefore continue to poison your children. My wife & I took the decision to believe the baby formulae companies, and stop poisoning our children.

I feel I should point out that there is an equally powerful lobby that would call your wife a bad mother from not breastfeeding her kids…

Dangers cited by chemistry professors, biochemists, MDs, Ph.Ds, and other scientific and medical professionals from a site that is for scientists and professionals opposed to fluoridation.

Heres an article from the irish medical times that describes how fluoridation of our water increases your chances of getting cancer by.around 20% and how the government is covering it up. http://www.imt.ie/opinion/2012/11/lets-not-dilute-the-issue-of-our-water-fluoridation.html

Toothbrush.

Flouride in drinking water and toothpaste is an essential part of an effective dental hygiene routine. Poor dental hygiene increases your chance of heart disease by 70%(Scientific Ameriaca) … heart disease is the leading cause of death killing 30% of people vs. 12%. (World Health Organisation)

Even if I believe those questionable stats you’resuggesting trading a 20% increase in contracting one disease for a 70% chance in contracting another that kills 250% as many people.

What a childish comment Andrew, grow up

There’s a saying… People grow out of being childish, but stupidity is forever

Gum disease not tooth decay is strongly correlated with heart disease, fluoride only helps with cosmetic issues; tooth decay.

There’s already enough of it in toothpaste, Ireland is one only of a few countries that fluoridates drinking water. It’s pointless adding it to drinking water.

As for the negative Heath effects, Im sick of all the ludicrous claims made by the fringe anti-fluoride camp, now a ridiculous claim of a 20% increase in cancer?! Such claims only undermine wider support for the removal of fluoride from drinking water, reasonable people will stop listening at this point.

Basically, there are minimum cosmetic or no benefits at all to fluoridating water, so why not remove it.

Just quoting an example…. I don’t really expect it to prevent heart disease, it’s more the fact that you can loosly tie statistics to make whatever claim you like.

If you visit an inner city area complience with toothbrushing and other preventitive dental care required to prevent gum disease is limited. Kids with terrible diets full of sugar and lacking calcium…. It’s exactly 50 times cheaper to throw harmless floride into the water to make their teeth a bit stronger than for the taxpayer to pay for the cavities and pulling of teeth. Without it we wouldn’t be able to fund public dental care for children period.

Andrew

Are you childish, stupid or are you just plain ignorant?

There are a number of reasons women do not breastfeed.

In my wife’s case, it was a pre-existing medical condition.
