This conspiracy theory tag on this issue is annoying to say the least. It seems anytime something goes against the initial mainstream thought on any particular topic it somehow becomes a conspiracy. If you research the issue you'll find very credible people supporting both sides (Drs on both sides). As time goes on, I've noticed more and more of the conventional medicine Drs (who believed everything they were taught in medical school) draw the conclusion that it has negative health effects. For me this is huge, these are generally the people who are master regurgitators, with little exercise in the area of critical thought. Just use common sense and draw your conclusion. You don't have to take it to the extreme as to whether or not it's for mind control or something, but just start with... whether or not it has negative health effects. I think most reasonable people will draw the conclusion that it does. I haven't researched the issue lately. At the time I did, I found that it was beneficial for cavity prevention, but the negative side effects outweigh this benefit astronomically. This current paradigm where people believe you have to instantly fall on the floor convulsing for something to be bad for you... followed by the notion that "we're all going to die someday." Yes we are and I don't mind that fact, but while I'm kickin it, I want to have the highest quality of life I can within reason. Not to the point where the measures taken to avoid the behavior, chemical etc. inconvenience me more than the negative health effect would. But I don't want to live my life, fatigued, tired, brain fogged, depressed etc. In many ways this can be much worse than death. Just a note, the Dr. who I go to (who is very credible, president of various Dr organizations along with dozens of extra credentials, which to me means jack, but to others it weighs more significantly) makes a strong point to avoid fluoride at all costs, in toothpaste etc.

To me the flouride thing is a conspiracy theory. I grew up in a place where the water has a very high level of flouride naturally, so much so that it stains kids' teeth dark brown if they drink well water. At those levels, people should be dropping like flies if the stuff is really that bad for you, but they're not. OTOH, my husband is from a country that doesn't put flouride in the water, and most everyone's teeth are rotten - maybe that's a coincidence or maybe not.
