Damn, I also drink alot of tea, it was my substitute for soda

Basically, if the drink has water in it, it has flouride in it. Even most bottled water has flouride in it. It's becoming very hard to avoid it. It's like trying to find a toothpaste that doesn't have it or a soft drink that doesn't contain aspartame or other equally poisonous chemicals.

If the government was really concerned about our teeth, they could provide free, bottled flouridated water, for those that want it, at less cost than putting it in tap water. Most of the flouride in tap water is not even consumed. It is used in baths/showers, washing machines, dishwashers, garden hoses etc etc. So why would the government spend so much to put flouride in our tap water, when only a small percentage of it does the job it is supposed to do? Quite simply, it's the only way to ensure that everyone gets it.

[beldazar]

yes thats right who elsie, as someone stated, it gets absorbed into our bodies through washing and into the food chain, nothing escapes it. Its no solution to just get a reverse osmosis kit, you eat it and get it into your body :mad:

Water is literally the only thing i drink.
So how can i avoid this..I have a bottle of ballygowan pure irish still water. It says it has no fluriode..so is it safe to assume no fluriode. And Id drink tap water if there is no bottled water .. so is this also a bad thing?

Not all bottled water has flouride in. You just have to read the labels carefully, sounds like your brand is ok. Lidl supermarket do a decent cheap brand, which is flouride-free (as far as I am aware). I try to avoid drinking tap water, though, cos it's just so full of crap and even tastes crap, when you're used to better quality water. The only other way is to use a distiller for tap-water. I've heard these are good for purifying the water, but are quite expensive to buy, hence why I've not yet got one. Maybe someone else here can shed more light on this.

Admitting the problem is the first step towards....?

Raising awareness is the most important thing to do atm. This kind of awareness should not be mixed with crop circles, chemtrails, 4d reptoids, etc.

There are a lot of idiots associating the fluoride problem with herbal teas or telling us that red, white, or green tea is safe. The tea plant absorbs more fluoride / fluorine from the ground than any other food plant known by ~20x. Even organic producers can use fluorine (same effects on health) and label their product as organic. Tea plants are often planted to remove excess fluoride / fluorine from the soil, so even if they aren't currently sprayed with pesticide, they're still likely high in fluoride / fluorine.

Even after I posted this information, you'll see people in this same thread arguing about one tea or another.. :rolleyes:

[eternal_spirit]

Depends where you live. Places in Lancashire ( I live here I'm lucky )and think some places in Wales, they don't add extra fluoride. Unless they'ves tarted to ( hope not ) The reason for not adding flouride, is that there's enough naturally occuring levels of fluoride in the water.

I drink straight from the tap with no filter, tastes fine, and it comes from a resovoir across the field.

There's people who cannot afford to buy bottled water, so guess they are kiling off the poor as usual.

BTW plastic bottles contain high level of estrogen that can cause hormonal imbalances ( same goes for alcohol ) the plastic bottle has been marketed to us for this purpouse. They wan't men to be more like women and vice versa, some say the physical changes are allready apparant.

BTW, try not use plastic bottles to feed the baby with.

[madthumbs]

BTW plastic bottles contain high level of estrogen.

Substance that behave like estrogens aren't estrogens. Bisphenol-A found in plastics used to make microwave plastics, linings for metal food containers, baby bottles, dental sealants, etc mimics the effects of estrogen.

Yup, i drink the water your talking about and its cheap yet MUCH better than usual tap water. I dont think the water in Peterborough has fluoride but Id rather be on the safe side.

I also read that tea has fluoride in, especially green tea. The fluoride in tea is more then the maximum contaminant level set for fluoride in drinking water. :confused: So I've heard.

[ticker]

"Fluoride is not an added ingredient in DASANI or any of our
carbonated beverage brands. However, since our brands contain water
from the local water supply where the product is produced, whether
they contain fluoride or not will depend on whether fluoride is
present in the local water supply. The Reverse Osmosis process does
remove more of the fluoride, thus DASANI will contain less fluoride
than our carbonated beverage brands."

Aquafina and Dasani is actually tap water with a fancy name

Tapwater Next time you grab a bottle of Aquafina water, created by PepsiCo, the ingredient label will read "Public Water Source" aka tap water. Dasani made by Coca-Cola which is also made from tap water will start posting online information about their quality control.

Apparently there is a wave of campaigns going on to get more people to be okay with drinking tap water because corporations are controlling and profiting too much from of our water intake. If you think about it, if Pepsi and Coca-Cola are really just putting tap water in a pretty bottle, then why are we paying them money for something you can get in your own sink. The global bottled water market is apparently $100 billion. That is a ginormous amount of money for water, but both Pepsi and Coke claim that they don't make much profit from bottled water.

Guess we can't really be sure even if our bottled water has no indication of containing fluoride.:(

The government aren't 'putting fluoride in our water'. The truth is they aren't stopping it flow into our rivers. Fluoride is an industrial waste from the production of Aluminium. This waste is pumped out to sea and into our rivers wherever there is aluminium production going on.

We'll get nowhere accusing the government of a conspiracy to mass medicate the population. My logic tells me to identify the physical source of the problem so that maybe enough information can be gathered for someone to lobby their local councils to do something about the waste that gets pumped into the rivers by irresponsible companies. This will involve someone having to get the water tested for fluoride concentration around places that make aluminium.

They take fluoride / fluorine out of the environment and put it back in. Not everything that's natural is safe. If people want to live without aluminum, then kiss your computer good bye and go live off the land. Since less than .000001% are going to do that, what other way could the fluoride disposal be handled?

[frank1974]

'They' is a big word, who are they? Where is the physical evidence of taking fluoride / fluorine out of the environment? Where is the evidence of 'they' putting it back in, what are they putting it back into.

What has aluminium got to do with computers?
Electronic components prefer conductors like copper, silver, gold, platinum. Aluminium is ok for cases/shielding. Anyway, why should people have to live without aluminium because of fluoride polution? The answer is to put pressure on these companies to stop pollution. Simple as. The truth is there, it just needs someone to put it together and present it.

I'm seeing more and more on these forums, whinging, crying and moaning. But no positive consciousness of a possible action or solution.

You speak the Truth.

Many people on this forum like to think there is some society out there to rape them all. 'they' would fuck with our health and spiritual well being.

Funny to see many people are actually healthier then 100 years ago. Funny to see people are more interested in spiritual things then 100 years ago. Where is this secret society that's supposed to stop us?

Health organisations do care about us. It's a persons own choice wheter he wants to live healthy or unhealthy. Evidence has already shown that meat gives a higher chance to get cancer. Alcohol, tobacco all are unhealthy.

People think health organisations and doctors know everything by know. Let me tell you they don't. When they make mistakes people love to think of conspiracy's.

Be happy getting to the age of 80 and being healthy isn't rare anymore.

[frank1974]

Its a pity more people don't realise how much power the ordinary person has. We are all capable of great things. The paranoia has to stop, and the common man/woman should start to acknowledge how much they can contribute to society. But one thing has to be at the center of consciousness, 'THE TRUTH'.

We received a letter from Lidl this morn. 28th April 08.
reply states,"We thank you for your recent enquiry regarding bottles free fluoride water.

We would confirm that the above product contains a fluoride level of less than 0.5mg/l . This is extremely low and there is no requirement to declare it on the label.

Hi

I drink some green tea, but try different herbal teas, so found this both interesting and alarming (also to see high levels of Aluminium, obviously fluorine is associated with this as a by product) and looking around found some further information which you may or may not have seen and might be of interest....

Quote From: http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/infocenter/phytochemicals/tea/
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Tea plants accumulate fluoride in their leaves. In general, the oldest tea leaves contain the most fluoride (9). Most high quality teas are made from the bud or the first two to four leaves—the youngest leaves on the plant. Brick tea, a lower quality tea, is made from the oldest tea leaves and is often very high in fluoride. Symptoms of fluoride excess (i.e., dental and skeletal fluorosis) have been observed in Tibetan children and adults who consume large amounts of brick tea (10, 11). Unlike brick tea, fluoride levels in green, oolong, and black teas are generally comparable to those recommended for the prevention of dental caries (cavities). Thus, daily consumption of up to one liter of green, oolong, or black tea would be unlikely to result in fluoride intakes higher than those recommended for dental health (12, 13). The fluoride content of white tea is likely to be less than other teas, since white teas are made from the buds and youngest leaves of the tea plant. The fluoride contents of 17 brands of green, oolong, and black teas is presented in the table below (12). These values do not include the fluoride content of the water used to make the tea. For more information, see the separate article on Fluoride.

Fluoride Content of Teas (12)
Type of Tea
Fluoride (mg/liter)* Fluoride (mg/8 ounces)
Green 1.2-1.7 0.3-0.4
Oolong 0.6-1.0 0.1-0.2
Black 1.0-1.9 0.2-0.5
Brick tea 2.2-7.3 0.5-1.7

*Fluoride in 1% weight/volume tea prepared by continuous infusion from 5 to 360 minutes

I think whatever you do there's no escaping it, I've got fluoride filters on my drinking water, but will still have levels in the water we wash with. With regards to bottled water (and I try and go for glass bottled water whenever I can, plastic bottled water has always had a funny twang, almost a staleness for me), check the labels (as a previous poster mentioned), all you can do is be aware...

[xpleet]

There's nothing we can do to stop the food poisoning other than avoiding:

sodas,
prepared food (fast food),
other appealing drinks,
table water with fluoride,
IMPORTANT: cosmetics, TOOTHPASTE that is with fluoride


If your teeth have a whitish layer that indicates that you are consuming high amounts of fluoride and you should change that.

Thanks for the info. So even when it's not mentioned on the label it's still in the water! Unbelievable. They say there's no need to declare it, but then why not, if it's supposed to be good for us? Maybe the Germans are a little more tuned in to the flouride deception than us Brits. :confused:
