3. So how many calories are there in fluoridated water?
There was someone in Health not long ago, who quoted the Journal of the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons (i.e. far RW loony doctors fighting all public health care for over 60 years) to prove that Sodium Fluoride is Toxic!

4. If fluoride is so safe.
why are there warnings on toothpaste? Fluoride used to be used for Thyroid medicines for overactive thyroids. Fluoride is a poison. Google info about fluoride.

5. I, uh, first became aware of it during the physical act of love
A profound sense of fatigue...


Fortunately, I was able to interpret these feelings correctly.

6. Eating the contents of tubes of toothpaste is not recommended

8. Uh oh, looks like one got loose from the Mother Ship:




Info for the tragically ignorant, from http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Risk/fluoridated-water">The National Cancer Institute:
What is fluoride?

Fluoride is the name given to a group of compounds that are composed of the naturally occurring element fluorine and one or more other elements.
Fluorides are present naturally in water and soil.


You only need fear it in this group when a skeptic finally snaps and you see this coming at your head:



Run along home, now, lil' ducky, we're not buying what Big Quack's selling.

9. Have you figured out that yeast doesn't cause cancer yet?
If you don't know basic biology and you've demonstrated that over and over, how in the world can you even think about knowing chemistry.
Oh btw you should NEVER EVER EAT NACL--ITS GOT CHLORINE IN IT. THATS A DEADLY POISON!!! Table salt is an attempt by big pharma to kill you...:rofl:
