How many children are injured or die from flouride poisoning each year in the USA?

Fluoride, the active ingredient in many pesticides and rodenticides, is a powerful poison - more acutely poisonous than lead. Because of this, accidental over-ingestion of fluoride can cause serious toxic symptoms.

A 3-year-old Brooklyn boy died of an overdose of fluoride after treatment at a city dental clinic. An autopsy revealed that he died from an overdose of fluoride.

Why do you abuse this Answer system with your propoganda? You didn't want an answer, you wanted to spew your pseudo-scientific garbage, and it looks like it failed.

Fluoridated water is safe and it's use is supported by REPUTABLE groups such as the ADA, AMA, WHO, CDC and hundreds of other scientifically SOUND organizations. For a list of these please go to

Most groups that are against this tend to be fringe, self-serving groups who use scare tactics, innuendo, pseudo-science and other despicable techniques. When faced with OVERWHELMING evidence from the scientific world I am sure you whip out the "conspiracy" BS too.

The vast majority of communities and people do not fall for this garbage and thus have a healthy fluoridated water system.

You should be ashamed of yourself for yourself for posted such poorly-documented pap.

I am sure you are probably against the chlorination of water too. Chlorine is poisonous too.....

None ... from fluoridated water or toothpaste.

Too much fluoride can cause dental fluorosis, which, in its mildest form, causes small, white, virtually invisible opaque areas on teeth. In severe form, fluorosis results in brownish mottling. However, dental fluorosis is not caused by artificial fluoridation, because the levels are kept low enough to avoid this effect.

How Poisonmongers Work
The antifluoridationists' ("antis") basic technique is the big lie. Made infamous by Hitler, it is simple to use, yet surprisingly effective. It consists of claiming that fluoridation causes cancer, heart and kidney disease, and other serious ailments that people fear. The fact that there is no supporting evidence for such claims does not matter. The trick is to keep repeating them -- because if something is said often enough, people tend to think there must be some truth to it.


QUACK ...QUACK...QUACK....

Dear Poison Monger - Your case is from 1974 and is found on a Poison-Monger Anti-Fluoridation website. Might was well use the National Enquirer for your "sources" The Anti-Fluoride nut cases are right in there with the Flat Earth Society. You wanted people to take your question seriously and you got FACTS thrown at you and ruined your silly charade.

More links about the HOAX you try to perpetrate can be found on QUACKWATCH.COM which fingers flakes like you...

If taken in large quantities, the following can result in death:
bleach
ammonia
pepsi
milk
water (see story link below)

Should we ban any and everything that can possibly cause damage when used improperly? Fluoride in drinking water is one of the great breakthroughs in the health industry. Don't let idiots with their twisted illogic tell you anything different.

Are there still people out there who are against using fluoride? I have a feeling this person believes in "intelligent design" too.

Oh my gosh people are so melodramatic. I am sorry to the asker for these horrible responses. I don't know why people feel the need to answer questions they have no intention of really answering except to push their own ideas and opinions. She asked a freaking question,either answer it or click off it and answer another one.
