I found out that Halifax puts flouride in its water supply. There’s a site that lists all municipalities for flouride and Hfx was a yes. Pockwock was listed. All of HRM in fact. Sodium flouride has been used as rat poison. It has no benefit to humans unless you live in some 3rd world country where ppl don’t have tooth paste. It builds up in your body and does lots of bad things. I want flouride out of HRM water supply and so should you. And no, Brita filters won’t remove it. You would need special expensive hard to get filters. Just don’t put it in to start with, HRM. Why is that Savage guy letting us be poisoned? — Biff

Lemme stop you right there.
It’s spelled “fluoride.”
Don’t forget chemtrails, drone strikes on people who left Scientology and those “wildfires” out in Yosemite which are actually cover for a military operation to wipe out the 200 foot tall sentient cornstalks that escaped from the Monsanto labs.
The truth is out there Agent Mulder
By the way, 45% of the “likes” you get on FB are from NSA operatives who appreciate your taste in porn.
Are you the lawn care/fabric softener jitbag? Fuck off, already.
oh I don’t know, maybe some maniacal baker is putting flour in the water supply to gum up the works. doh! (or should that be DOUGH!)
I completely agree with you. as someone who has watched multiple documentaries (with a critical eye) regarding fluoride and the lack of benefits (at the level it is in our water) and potential negatives that come with consuming it, I would love if halifax were to review their fluoride policy. we’re too educated about the subject to continue drinking it and slowly poisoning our bodies. ok, maybe that’s a bit dramatic, but any bit helps!
Ah yes, the Conspiracy Theorists who think the government and corporations are out to kill you. There must of been a sale of tinfoil hats lately.
Fluoride is about .5 to .8 ppm in most public drinking water. That’s parts per MILLION, in other words trace amounts but enough to assist in the prevention of tooth decay. You get far more fluoride in toothpaste but I believe still in safe levels.
The interesting thing is that over the last twenty years or so there’s been an increase in tooth decay among children 18 and younger. The likely culprit is the switch from tap water to bottled water by a lot of parents. Add to that the link between bad teeth and heart disease and you have to wonder if switching away from fluoridated water isn’t, in fact, more dangerous than avoiding it.
Beside most people get more exposure to harmful chemicals taking a dip in their local swimming pool than a lifetime of drinking tap water.
May I also add that fluoride occurs naturally in water tables. It wasn’t until the 1800s that any correlation was made between the fact that some communities which had a higher incidence of people with healthier teeth also had a water supply slightly higher in fluoride. That’s when communities started adding fluoride to their water.
Must be silly season.
Life expectancy in the developed world continues to increase….must be all the ‘chemicals’ we ingest
Addressing the bottled water comment – fluoride is in every bottled beverage you can buy. Where do you think the companies get their water? The same place as your tap. Secondly, fluoride DOES NOT work by ingesting it. The idea that it even works topically in toothpaste or dental treatments hasn’t even been proven either. So what do you think the cumulative effects of ingesting it in all the things you eat and drink, through showers, brushing your teeth, plus treatments at the dentist might be? Sodium fluoride is a waste product of industry and is toxic. If they wanted to dispose of it, it would actually COST the companies money. Instead they found a way to make money off of it by selling it to our Governments .
enough of this….autism also is not caused by innoculations, and holding your farts in will NOT cause spontaneous combustion. LISTEN up..the levels of flouride in water is NOT conducive to a poisoning threat. even at high levels of consumption. the liver and kidneys are able to process the excess(when your body stores excess chemicals it cant process THEN it turns to poisons that harm you) sodium flouride which then is urinated or excreted in your normal daily routines. WHEN YOU EAT A COUPLE TUBES OF TOOTHPASTE…the concentration of this item (which on the package says DO NOT INGEST) can present some issues medically…but enough watching CSI and thinking that you know enough to start being an online chemistry general….oh and FUCK OFF.
everyone who has ever lit their farts please hold up your (singed I betcha) right hand
I’m sure you thought this would be some great revelation you brought to the masses, but we already knew.
I drink sparkly Pellegrino water.
But I’m broke.

LMAO… Fluoride is the least of your worries there little bitcher. Basically, (and read the link below to see for yourself) the shit they put in the water here attaches to the atom (which changes it from water to some kind of other… what I’ve coined as ‘Bio-Hydrant’). With having the same boiling point you never see the residue.
Fact! 1 out of 30,000,000 people will die as a result of drinking tap water every day. That’s one Canadian every year succumbing to the poison of what they call ‘safe drinking water’
I guess on the big scheme of things, them ain’t bad odds.

Look under “Substance Identity” this is what water is made of.

Halifax water also has mild levels of radioactivity….js
And it can sometimes have a high amount of alcohol in it.
“Fact! 1 out of 30,000,000 people will die as a result of drinking tap water every day. That’s one Canadian every year succumbing to the poison of what they call ‘safe drinking water”
“Today 2.5 billion people, including almost one billion children, live without even basic sanitation. Every 20 seconds, a child dies as a result of poor sanitation. That’s 1.5 million preventable deaths each year.”(Source: WWDR, 2012 )
Perspectiiiive.
Its funny how people even when faced with blinding factual evidence to refute their silly, and misinformed claims(ie OB) all based on watching documentaries.
In the 80’s they went all crazy about cholesterol in eggs and said how bad eggs were, and the entire US and Canada went apeshit over how bad eggs were. next year, they said oops, eggs are actually good for you, but they effectively ruined a years worth of egg production through scare mongering. OB this is what you are being guilty of now.
Despite the over 100 years of proven results from MINOR addition of Sodium Flouride into our drinking water supplies…and despite the documented proof of the perfectly safe levels in toothpaste(1350 ppm in North america, 1500 ppm in Europe and abroad) there are still yahoos like yourself that spew this BULLSHIT(props pen and teller).
If you arent a well vetted doctor, scientist, etc THEN SHUT THE FUCK UP. Instead of dredging up this proven bullshit…do something productive, like learn how to spread REAL bullshit in a more effective manner to bring world hunger to an end or something.
I remember as a wee lad that there was an article about how a small bag of potato chips was better for you nutritionally than an apple…. it was all people talked about for a week.
(which is why I somewhat vaguely remember it)
I’ve been a true skeptic ever since.
My dental hygienist has described to me what she’s witnessed in the mouths of people on well water (of which I am one) in places where fluoride isn’t naturally present (that’s naturally present, Biff) in the water – and it ain’t pretty.
http://bit.ly/gZbFF9
And that’s why “they” started adding it to municipal water systems in the first place – because in places where it isn’t naturally present, (that’s naturally present, Biff) tooth decay was rampant.
I’ll take healthy teeth over the latest alarm drama any day.
Just wondering if anyone ELSE read the article i found recently debunking the “fluoride is poison” assertion, claiming it was started by a housewife in the 90s and has had absolutely no foundation whatsoever.
I’m not making any kind of conclusion because i’m not a scientist. I’m just saying… it seems like the whole “fluoride is poison” panic was little more than fear mongering and attention whoring.
You should learn to read more op. Start with the correct spelling of fluoride.
This must have been written by my meat-head twin brother Biff-cuit.
Biff,Biff,Biff. Don’t let yourself be so easily brainwashed.
And now for all the fear mongering, conspiracy theorist, anti-science, poisonmongers who see life threats around every corner, Quackwatch has a good response to your antifluoridationist sentiments:

…and, oh yeah…I never stopped eating eggs and butter ….and eating quinoa everyday isn’t going to save the world.
Hey Biff, have you met meany people from parts of North America without fluoridated water?
There’s are reason some areas are notorious for “hillbilly teeth.”
What are you, some kind of raving anti-dentite?
I am completely against it.. Fluoride in water simply for anticavities.. why the fuck is toothpaste sold then or mouthwash? Dentists would be making less money aswell.. Speaking of dentist they tell you dont swallow when they clean you with their fluoride shit.. Anyway..5% of our water actually go towards our teeth rest we bathe in, cook with, do laundry etc. In order to get any sort of anti cavity protection from our poisioned water is to swish it around our mouth for like 10 minutes. I see it as forced medication if all they say its for is cavities. There are people out there who are hyper sensitive to it but are forced to it without a presciption. Sure it dont seem like alot is added but its enough to take harmful effects in the long run. We’re forced to the exposure from birth. Anyone else seeing teens slower in the brain these days? Government if anything dont necessarily want to kill us off but more so control us more. Just because something is a conspiracy doesn’t always it a theory. Anyway its adding it to our water when its harmful effects blow away its one “positive” cavity fighting good. It needs to stopped. Oh another fact the nazis put fluoride in the water they fed their prisoners to control them. End this rant with that.
