FLOURIDE/FLOURINE IN WATER, TEETH AND BRAINS!!!
Heavy minerals first of all cause death of any organisms, they do not care if it is your body or a invading bacteria. Simply said Flouride is a poison, in small doses it is still a poison just in small doses. I'd like to ask you to ask yourself how you might haave learned or been told that flouride helps teeth, kills bacteria, builds strong enamel? This is alike the distilled water information you will find. Some studies or reports funded by the wrong people with intentions to impress certain sponsors funding the studies geared towards a opinion before anything is even proposed or tried.
What makes up the enamel and teeth in your mouth? Calcium which is made within your body from properly absorbed silica that the body converts into calcium. I must also bring up that we as humans are mostly bacteria and if you are taking something that kills bacteria how will this flouride not kill other bacteria that you consist of?
"Most of the cells in your body are not your own, nor are they even human. They are bacterial. From the invisible strands of fungi waiting to sprout between our toes, to the kilogram of bacterial matter in our guts, we are best viewed as walking "superorganisms," highly complex conglomerations of human cells, bacteria, fungi and viruses."

"Still others argue that tooth enamel is, "calcium phosphate" (I agree) while other experts say enamel is, "composed of approximately 28% organic matter and 72% inorganic (calcium)", which is a vague but some-what true response although I have to plead ignorance on the actual percentages of calcium phosphate in the enamel"

"The findings of neurological effects in fluoride-exposed humans is consistent with, and strengthened by, recent findings from over 40 animal studies published since 1992. As with the studies on humans, the studies on animals have reported an impairment in learning and memory prorcesses among the fluoride-treated groups. "
