| Fluoride???
Greetings,
The subjuect of fluoride in the water supply was brought up by my grandfather who had read an article sent to him by an associate. He comented on its use by the nazis to keep POWs docile and how it is used to make prozac, yada yada yada. I knew staight away there was something wrong with what he was saying so I set out to disprove it by searching for info on the web. A quick web search threw up hundreds of results most of which were along the same spurious and uscientific lines. Talk of it being used in nerve adgents, rat poison, prozac, and - the most sinister part - being pumped into our water supply (I assume to keep the minions in there places). But all of this appeared to be based on flawed science and an over zealous pursuit of a conspiricy theory. I knew straight away that the author of the first article I read knew nothing of even the most fundimental chemistry when he asserted that there was no such thing as fluoride (fluorine plus one electron) and claimed that fluorine was an 'ingredient' used to make prozac (fluoxetine). These pieces of erroneous information, along with others, were used to formulate the conclusion that flouride in our water is damaging our brain little by little, making us docile and inhibited, and is being used to control the masses.
Now, the only tangible piece of info i could find is to the effect of - flouride inhibits thyroid function. I'm pretty sure that the rest of it is bullsh*t but can anyone who really knows what they're talking about give me the low down. |
