Municipalities would do well to remove sodium fluoride & other industrial by-products...I mean "health additives" http://fluoridealert.org/studies/brain01/ htt

  You wouldn't believe how controversial that is in the U.S. self styled rationalists will call you a quack for even mentioning fluoride. Meanwhile, our internal organs are getting nicely calcified like a bright, shiny american dental association smile.

    Arterial calcification is largely reversible with healthy lifestyle, adequate vitamin K etc. Unless you are talking about pineal calcification, of which there doesn't seem to be much in the way of provable negative consequences within normal ranges and is indeed mostly mentioned by new age psychedelic gurus. And I'm not sure why we should assume fluoride is the main culprit for any of this. But sure, there's a dose-response curve for just about everything.

      Have you read the Jennifer Luke study? The pineal gland is the only organ in the brain that is not behind the blood brain barrier. It is responsible for regulating our circadian rhythm. Melatonin synthesis is a core aspect of our health. Jennifer Luke found that in gerbils, high fluoride hastened female sexual development and was associated with a diminished circadian rhythm. Even if fluoride levels in water are "fine" (as in "deal with it.") for most people, its mass medication and there are likely people who are adversely affected by it. It's absolutely unnecessary. http://www.slweb.org/luke-1997.html http://www.slweb.org/luke-1997.html
