Here is the group I've worked with and follow. They work around the world and have all the latest info on the "F" issue:

Fluoride Action Network | Broadening Public Awareness on ...


Who knows for sure, maybe "F" is building up around the heart.

There are three groups on this issue: Those who LOVE it and continue to push it on the population.

Those who loath it and fight it as best they can with blogs, books, lectures, etc.

Those who are unaware.

The history is DEEP.

I never thought about the heart and "F", my focus has been on arthritis, fractures, thyroid, IQ but here is info related to cardio:

Hi Kitt,

Your cheaper teas must be different to ours. In our bags the leaves are smaller = lager surface area so brew quicker and stronger.

As with you, I have not nor never will be worried by this. Frankly I gave up listening to the flip-flopping 'good for you/bad for you' dietary scares years ago. I am lucky in that I have no allergies, and am finding my new, balanced, portion control, calorie counting diet (just cutting the junk) is slaking the weight off, and is likely working wonders for my Diabetes.

Dave.

Don't know what kind of leaves are in there. Don't really care. Love milk.

Dear Dave,

Thanks. Me, too. One day X is BAD for you and then later, the same X is essential for good health. Flip-flop.

If we began a list of those flip-flops, the list would be long and sometimes comical.

Moderation is one of the guides I use.

Thinking back about my mom, and the tests were nothing like there are today...she got a postcard from a doctor when she was 86 advising her to go for a mamm, it would be her first, she has lived 86 yrs and none....so she called me and asked me if she should, and I said no way, mom, throw that card away. Some thngs are hard to forget.

I think I've read or heard from someone, they don't even advise them after a certain age.

There is a lot of info out there on these and I've done my work for many years to get to where I am today...thanks.

One of my pet peeves is fluoridation, mass medication of a toxin to the people. Mercola and all the other alternative/integrative MD's are on the side of anti F in our drinking waters and foods. I've been in the anti F battle since I first heard of it's dangers in 1991. I know 98% of Europe does not add "F" to waters but believe the UK still does. I digress but there are so many wrongs going on in the world.
NOT going to debate the issue on mammograms but I just took a friend to appts. for breast cancer treatments. She is 80.

Another friend was recently diagnosed with uterine cancer at the age of 84.

Cancer can occur at any age.

Dave and Kitt, I'm a tea lover too.

I've got enough to worry about without worrying about how much fluoride might be in my tea leaves. You can walk across the road and get hit by a car.

I'm all for balance and moderation myself. I like tea so I drink it if I want it but I drink it in moderation. I have about 10 different types of tea all for various taste and situations. Some of my tea is caffeine free. Some is even tannin free. Some is called tea but from a different type of shrub and some is just plain old regular black tea. Some will wake me up and some will help me sleep. I like my cuppa.

I can give endless statistical data, taken over centuries of time and tell you carrots are a health hazard, avoid eating them at all costs! After all 100% of the worlds population without prejudice to age, ethnicity or even exposure amounts, that have eaten carrots have died or will die! It is accurate and proven! (Of course the same is just as true and accurate for not eating carrots)
This is an excerpt from a post by Starznight from July of last year in another thread but was said so well and I thought might be appropriate for the postings in THIS thread.

From MY perspective,..... there is a study on this and that depicted almost daily, backed by "statistics", but I do NOT think jumping on the bandwagon just because there was a "study" is a good practice. At least not for me.

Often, these studies have other studies which contradict each other.

People are entitled to believe as they wish, but that does not make it the right belief for others.

Dear Kitt,

I just LOVE the icons you used in your post. So cute and gave the perfect emphasis to your post.

Thanks. Made me smile for sure.

Personally, I believe it's just wrong to force fluoridation on the population. And believe more health issues in our population are from the accumulation of "F" in our bodies. I was born and raised in "F" water and had no clue for most of my early life. I deal with bodywide OA and can't help believe "F" was a huge reason for this. Lots of sugar in my younger life also bad for joints and more....mouth full of dental work too from my early life.
