Why are "Americans" stupid? Fluoride.

I drink rainwater and live in NZ.

Good for you, Stormy. :-)

It takes more than fluoride to make person stupid-haha. Intelligence is largely inherited.

I got regular fluoride treatments at the dentist. I drink fluoride free-water. I have an above average IQ. Your fear tactics aren't scaring me. Stop with the exaggerations please. Actual fluoride poisoning only occurs at high levels. In small amounts it is relatively harmless- too much of anything is a bad idea.

Although Ido not see the necessity of having fluoride in water, to claim that it's a form of brainwashing or a poison is a STRETCH.

I drink filtered water at home, but if you ever drink water outside of the home you might *gasp* consume fluoride.

Let's see; denigrating tone, alleged "high intelligence", assumed moral superiority. Throw in some "objective" sources and case closed, eh?

Ignoring history will soon prove problematic, to say the least.

grew up with well water-
yum...

so this would explain...
why everyone seems so dumb to me-

i was born brilliant...
then they all got dumber-
haaa...

Am not feeling so superior these days, myself.

sorry to hear that-

bootstraps dude...
hoist the bootstraps-

a little prayer for you-

Yup, I agree.
That's why I use ......

Wow. Looks expensive.

Relatively cheap considering. It cost me about $247 with replacement filters.

Yep - ya want to stay away from that stuff.

Doing what we can, Beachbum.

I've been concerned about fluoride in our drinking water for a long time. I fought it being added to the water in county I live in, but it happened anyway; it is the waste by-product of a phosphate plant in the area. I am more concerned about the effects of fluoride on small creatures, and health effects on all of us, than about it making people "stupid".
Still, it is an interesting video; thanks.

Children are considered by many to be "small", and far too many of them act like "creatures", these days.

True, but I was referring to health effects on creatures much smaller than children. For instance, fluoride causes brittle beaks in birds, I have very loved animal companions who weigh less than ten pounds. The fluoride in tap water is everywhere, even if you personally make attempts to avoid it. Maybe it does explain, why so many don't seem to give a sh*t about anything that doesn't directly effect them at the time. I've been noticing that for a long quite awhile now.

Yep!! Proven in Russia several decades ago.

Incredible how so many avoid that fact. It's like the Soviets never existed or something.

I've known it for a few years. Nations like that us much more 'strong-arm' tactics in controlling the populous.

I've used filters on my tap water for many years -- and I'm so tired of hearing that tap water is fine and good for you -- when you're accustomed to filtered water, one taste of our tap water and you know better...
Thanks for sharing...well done video.

Glad you liked it, Shirley.

Damn. I knew that most countries considered it a waste product, but not that it was a neurotoxin.

'Fraid so, Love. The more we learn about all this, the more my mind just trips.

I stopped drinking city water a long time ago, but I just looked on the lables of the bottled watter I drink, and it has fluoride. So does my toothpaste and mouthwash. .-. The only water I have that's fluoride free is flavored, and I DO have some little kids toothpaste lying around that's fluoride and bleech free. It'll do for now.

I'm off the city tap, and have gone to using baking soda for dental hygiene. Oddly, my breath has never been better.

Baking soda; now there's an idea. So, do you mix it with water and brush with it, or what? .-.

Yeah, basically. Lightly rinse your toothbrush and dip the bristles in the baking soda and brush away.

Tom's of Maine also make a non fluoridated toothpaste.

Great; how about Burts Bees?

Never used it, but I'll look for it online. :-)

Knew most of this about fluoride, just one of the reasons I replaced my well rather than hooking up to city water. I had never seen anyone light tap water on fire though!

Lol! Happening in a lot of locals there, Bozette.

I'm trying to think of who I know who'll let me loose with a lighter in their house to try that one. Not many options, most think I'm a pyro.

HA! They know you too well, eh? lol

My reputation precedes me... :)

Suffice it to say, all combustible materials will be kept outta you way. ;-)

Can't be done... :)

Zing! You got it, Little Angel. :-)

Think of it: It explains all those drooping pants we see on the streets, these days.

You got it, lol!
