There are two types of floride - calcium and sodium floride to which they add the sodium into the water NOT the calcium, they add this to our drinking water but it's the ONLY ingredient in rat poison, what do you people think?

Ah now I have you, now I can eat. Now I can enjoy you, or store you as meat.

What do we think about what?

I've drank tap water for 32 years, I am in great shape.

Ergo, its not an issue. Its probably good for you in tiny doses (good for your teeth) and kills you in large, hence the poison thing.

Same with a great many things. One glass of wine is good for you, 5 bottles and 3 triple vodkas almost kills you.

We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels.

Applications

Sodium fluoride is sold in tablets for cavity prevention.

Fluoride salts are used to enhance the strength of teeth by the formation of fluorapatite, a naturally occurring component of tooth enamel.[8][9] Although sodium fluoride is also used to fluoridate water and, indeed, is the standard by which other water-fluoridation compounds are gauged, hexafluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6) and its salt sodium hexafluorosilicate (Na2SiF6) are more commonly used additives in the U.S.[10] Toothpaste often contains sodium fluoride to prevent cavities.[11] Alternatively, sodium fluoride is used as a cleaning agent, e.g. as a "laundry sour".[7] A variety of specialty chemical applications exist in synthesis and extractive metallurgy. It reacts with electrophilic chlorides including acyl chlorides, sulfur chlorides, and phosphorus chloride.[12] Like other fluorides, sodium fluoride finds use in desilylation in organic synthesis. The fluoride is the reagent for the synthesis of fluorocarbons.

In medical imaging, fluorine-18-labelled sodium fluoride is used in positron emission tomography (PET). Relative to conventional bone scintigraphy carried out with gamma cameras or SPECT systems, PET offers more sensitivity and spatial resolution. A disadvantage of PET is that fluorine-18 labelled sodium fluoride is less widely available than conventional technetium-99m-labelled radiopharmaceuticals.

Safety

The lethal dose for a 70 kg (154 lb) human is estimated at 5–10 g.[7] Sodium fluoride is classed as toxic by both inhalation (of dusts or aerosols) and ingestion.[13] In high enough doses, it has been shown to affect the heart and circulatory system.

In the higher doses used to treat osteoporosis, plain sodium fluoride can cause pain in the legs and incomplete stress fractures when the doses are too high; it also irritates the stomach, sometimes so severely as to cause ulcers. Slow-release and enteric-coated versions of sodium fluoride do not have gastric side effects in any significant way, and have milder and less frequent complications in the bones.[14] In the lower doses used for water fluoridation, the only clear adverse effect is dental fluorosis, which can alter the appearance of children's teeth during tooth development; this is mostly mild and is unlikely to represent any real effect on aesthetic appearance or on public health.[15]

Have an exalt for that

I'm with Matty, tap water isn't going to kill you. Whatever they put in it that may be poisonous is so watered down that it just won't do anything...

Sweet baby Jesus on a Pogo stick, where the feth did you go to school for Chemistry? That teacher failed you. That school should have it's funding revoked. Your parents should get their tax money back. I'm not going to part-by-part your post because I don't have a fething hour to deal with this.

They do not put pure sodium in water. Sodium + water = huge fething explosion. Watch these dumb teenagers: youtube linkage

Depending on where you live, there are three compounds that they use in your drinking water. I've added the % use in the US for each:
Sodium fluoride (NaF) 9%
Fluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6) 63%
Sodium fluorosilicate (Na2SiF6) 28%

Hydrogen Fluoride is the source of most of the worlds fluoride. It's a mainly inert mineral which is used to produce the above compounds. It is not added to your drinking water.

10 minutes of google time would have calmed your fears.

I subscribe to this particular conspiracy theory. In the 30's Nazi Scientists proposed to the Genereal Staff (GODWIN!):
"Repeated doses of infinitesimal amounts of fluoride will in time reduce an individual`s power to resist domination, by slowly poisoning and narcotizing a certain area of the brain, thus making him submissive to the will of those who wish to govern him.

Then they invented SS Wulfen and Nazi Tsombies.

Rat Poison is good old fashioned anti-coagulant.

Thin blood helps blood flow to the brain.

Might be worth a try.

That's what Warfarin (Coumadin) is...

So, yeah... if you have blood problems... you might be prescribed Rat Poison! Or, Vampire Bat Saliva!

Kronk - not pure sodium but sodium florid (chemical byproduct)

AustonT - I agree the nazi and soviots were the first to test it in the camps and on political prisioners, on a side note do you know where the zi comes from in nazi? consider this - they were the national socialist party so where is no z or i in translation.
