  • Duh, it's a bi-product of aluminum production.They needed to dump the waste so they made the teeth cleaning myth. And even aluminum is put in your fucking deodorants! XD

  • IT'S IN THE WATER!

  • Fluoride does NOT protect tooth enamel.

    Fluoride DOES lower IQ with 10-15 POINTS...

  • Google Sodium Fluoride MSDS

  • Here's one too knowing this that they had warning sign's on the back of the toothpaste. Saying if you swallow call the poison controll center.

  • The Fluoride used in drinking water is Sodium Fluoride in it's mineral state derived from Aluminium smeltering the fluoride created by the body is Organic fluoride which is absolutely nothing to do with the sodium fluoride. That's the big lie

  • It is interesting that it came up during the time when they were talking about propaganda which is a form of mind control

  • wheat ans star symbolism represents socialism or communism

  • hmmm just cant wait until they start adding lithium to my flouride/chorline cocktail! YUMMY huh?

    Just what Americans need is more drugs in their Kool aid for a land of the WALKING DEAD.

  • Anyone else see the subliminal messages at 1:36 and 1:40?

  • @defusious yep, i noticed that too. weird..

  • @defusious i paused it there and i saw it clear but idk wht it means

  • luckaly im alergic to fluoride and mentol so dontget that much of those stuff in

  • 2:52 loooooool

  • its part of the population reduction plan

  • so umm why arent millions of people dying of this?..

  • @thrashSJ they are gradually, fluoride could cause cancer

  • @thrashSJ Look around you, read the obits and ask why so many younger people are dying of what use to be 'elderly diseases'.

  • @thrashSJ Just because it does not kill you right away does not mean it is harmful to your health.

  • So this is why people in America are called "Sheeple"

  • you know the illuminti do you your just trying to seem smart when you dont even no anything if you cant figure this out

  • This is retarded, you are just trying to find any little thing to scare people for no reason. Look I'm about to blow this theory out of the water you ready?

    Almost every american, inlcuding (leaders, you, me, illuminati <-lol, politicians) use water and toothpaste on a day to day basis. gg

  • I got a good laugh out of this, Thanks :D

  • i never brushed my teeth, i have holes in every one of them, many of the nerves are dead,

    but i'm starting to think it was all worth it, i have always felt like every other person were stupid.

    no offence people ! ;) hahaha

  • who else wants to stop brushing there teeth now...?

  • Wow. This is a load of bullshit.

  • I friggin knew my dentist was trying to kill me!!!

  • @Omegacad I knew I never had a cavity. Seriously these people are ASSHOLES!

  • great work. narrator needs better delivery.

    

  • "Here's where it gets crazy" shit it was already crazy

  • well then, how do i remove flouride, is there a chemical, like aquarium chlorination?

  • i'm from the netherlands. and there we don't have fluoride :D

  • this could explain why americans choose same dictator over again and blame him for wars (geroge bush) And it could explain why the average american thinks that europa is a country and it could explain why the americans think they are the best people in the world and it could explain the soldiers of america thinking they defending usa against terror when they are occupating countries like naziz, it could explain that they are the super power who spreading misery over the world

  • "Topically applied Fluoride doesn't prevent tooth decay. It does render teeth detectable by spy satellite" - The Question

  • Yes sir. Just grab a glass of fluoride and corn syrup and sit your fat docile ass in front of the telly! Wait... isn't the game on now? :-o

  • and this is where SOPA and ACTA and NDAA come into play. Censoring the internet = more time for TV = more consumers = more dumb people.

  • So if it supposedly creates passivity, and Americans have been using it for a few decades, id say its not working. I work in a Water Treatment Plant and adding Fluoride to the water is voted on by the people during elections, its not a federal law. It can have adverse health effects such as staining or pitting of your teeth but that's only at high levels much higher than water systems are putting in. Although some conspiracies are probably real...in my mind this one is completely false.

  • Wait a minute, if fluoride is really that bad for our health what can we do to prevent cavities, rotten teeth and such? Just clean our mouths with plain water or mouth wash?

  • @MisschicaMochi Use fluoride-free toothpaste. It's hard to find. Try your nearest health food shop. And don't drink tap water.

  • @MisschicaMochi You could try soda and an interdental brush. My dad used to have lots of cavities and plaque, but now he has no problems and always gets praised by our dentist. I've tried soda too, but I brushed too hard with a normal toothbrush and hurt my gums. (Conclusion:Never too much force!) Atm I'm experimenting and I use both toothpaste and soda. I don't know if it will work for you, but soda is very cheap, so you don't have anything to lose. Warning: It tastes salty ;D

  • @MisschicaMochi make sure you get enough calcium... why do you think dogs seem to never get cavities? the only time I've seen a dog with bad teeth, is when they drink fluoridated water which is usually browning of the teeth called fluorosis. reason being they are actually feed the minerals needed by their bodies, call up any dog food company and ask how many minerals they have fortified the food with the avg. being 46, compared to how many we get even taking a multi mineral..cont

  • @TheLegendBegins ...about 18 maximum while the human frame requires more than 60 now colloid minerals. now consider we only really put 3 nutrients for plants back into the ground striping away the the rest year by year from out farm fields while never putting any back. so we can't be getting any from our food really were just starving, it's similar to how our body will cannibalize our muscles if we don't eat enough protein to where our body will strip away calcium from..cont

  • @TheLegendBegins .....our bones not just teeth and see this is why you see the consistent rise of "chronic disease" which should really be renamed as chronic starvation (also toxicity can play a role can cause dysfunction of processes that are required of other things, like how carbon monoxide can block the oxygen receptors in haemoglobin and thus reduce or interrupt the oxygen delivery in our whole body) so really were just barely feeding ourselves and starving very slowly..

  • @TheLegendBegins which is why our life expectancies have dropped from nearly 140 years of youthful life down to half your really lucky if you make if to 70 these days, and yes people have lived that long you just have to look at communities that eat well and don't poison their children like America does. with that I'm done ive posed 4 times now including this one if you have questions about anything lmk msg me thru YT if they still have that and ill help as best as i can.

  • Im gonna be sure to spit out ALL of my toothpaste tonight!

  • What the fuck am I watching.

  • It lowers IQ? Okay, that explains why my sister with perfect teeth is a moron, and I'm so much smarter. Thank bad teeth!

  • @JayPCM rofl yes but my teeth are at middle and i dont brush it much like 1 times a week :D and i think good

  • @xseeker339 LMAO!

  • F*CK the ILLUMINATI!!!!!

  • @rudon070 rofl i saw a dickhead in cs with a name that contained (illuminati) i said same :D

  • woah man sent me trippin

  • Oh, I wish I could stick a [citation needed] on most of the claims in this video...

  • The face at 2:53 is the creepiest face ive ever seen...

  • @TheEdge363 I know right? Scared me pretty well lol

  • ill never brush again lol

  • england has fluoride in the water most of europe does'nt

  • This is BS, some of the clips you used for protests against fluoridation are the same you used for protests against UFO's -__-

  • @boondocks123o So because he reused a clip from something that probably didn't have to do with either videos other than visual stimulation makes the whole video bullshit?

  • @MKT9000 Nope, not saying that at all. It just seems like he's using footage of the actual protest. And obviously it isn't.

  • i brush with water all day! :D

  • @howstuffworks Do you have the right to use a clip from an anatomy video i saw in anatomy and physiology class?

  • 47 people have a low IQ.

  • No one will care about wars, political scandals and whats happening in the world as long as the TV works and the water keeps running.....that sentence gave me alot to think about

  • what about calcium fluoride though(fluorite)?

  • sodium fluoride is more toxic than lead!

  • Literally everything is lethal if you have too much of it haha

  • i didn't understand a shit but as i understood Water from US is full of this fluorite.

    If it can be used for nuclear weapons, and in human body there is like 90% of water which fluorite can be drawn from, then humans would be like source of it or what?

  • does a filter filter flouride?

  • @AxeloneX Filters with reverse osmosis do.

  • Spell 'Illuminati' backwards into the address bar, and put '.com' at the end. Mother of God...

  • @Poncho151500 wtf...

  • @metalweenis Freaky, right?

  • it lowers IQ? goddamn it! my toothpaste made me fail my history test

  • @TheAlexander9 dont worry oure history is mostly false annyway

    all lies to keep us dumb information we get in school is mostly all bullcrap

  • Britta and Pur filters dont filter out flouride, i dont know which do. I doubt bottled water filters out flouride also. youre screwed if you want no flouride in your system.

  • Fluoride does NOT help your teeth and bones grow, if applied topically to the teeth it'll fight decay a little bit.

    If ingested, it has a wide series of toxicological effects, it'll interfere with pineal and thyroid function, it'll increase the risk of bone defect and cancer, it'll decrease the strength of teeth and bones. The Chinese Germans released studies that showed it lowers the IQ of children

    Keep brushing your teeth and stop drinking that shit.

  • 2:52 she's got quite the smile

  • btw as u drink more n more fluoride ur body will get immune to it because ur body changes its way......like wat drawin says in order to survive one must allow changes..... something like tht

  • why is there a pentagon Symbol Being sublimanly put in this video.... ive been noticing alot of Flicking Emblems and wording. what are you up to Howstuffworks....

  • Ireland has fluoride in its water I'm glad now I use fluoride free toothpaste and bottled water

  • I thought my brown teeth were from excessive coffee intake.

  • I have been using non-fluoridated toothpaste for about 10 years now and haven't had a single cavity.

  • I'm terrible allergic to fluoridated water and if I have even one glass of tap water, I get stomach pains so bad I have to go to the hospital if I don't have my epinephrine on me. I can't even have ice in a drink made out of tap water.

  • @ManyARamblings Does it affect you topically as well? I'm wondering about when you shower or wash your hands. How long have you suspected fluoride to be the culprit of your adverse reaction?

  • @AbominableHuman Topically, the reaction isn't as bad. It does cause redness of the skin and I have to take allergy medication every day to reduce that. I have to use non-fluoridated toothpaste as well. And I figured it was fluoride because after some investigation and seeing what else might of caused it, this was the only clear explanation.

  • Fluoride didn't help my teeth it promoted tooth decay now my four front teeth are rotting thanks to there supposed fluoride hype

  • @giant648 I have white dots on my teeth, when we where on the lower school than we needed to flush our mouths with fluoride

  • fluoride does not help your teeth and bones grow. That is a lie

  • @1131331 Indeed, sir. I'm glad to see you pointed this out, and that people gave you a thumbs up for it. One thing I must add though is that fluoride has overwhelmingly been found to be in fact detrimentally harmful for teeth, bones, and most of all to the brain.

  • @1131331 It actually can and is often prescribed to help infants' teeth grow in but after that its only useful purpose is for cleaning teeth.

  • @dudepal187 No fluoride does not help teeth grow regardless if your a infant or a adult. Fluoride does not help clean teeth of infants or adults. Fluoride is a corrosive compound that damages bones and teeth. Fluoride is a poison. They should add to the poison warning on fluoridated toothpaste tubes to keep out of the mouth and use at your own risk.

  • @1131331 Uhm, no... Proper amounts of fluoride to infants can help strengthen tooth enamel. You think brushing your teeth every day is harmful? Do you think every dentist in the world is an idiot? Seems kind of arrogant and cynical to assume that. Fluoride is only harmful if used excessively or consumed. Even the back of a toothpaste tube will warn you against ingesting it. Seriously, check your facts. I hope you're not spreading this bullshit to people.

  • @dudepal187 you fail at life

  • @dudepal187 Actually its been proven to hurt children younger than 1 year old. By that I mean the amount thats already in the water. Health organizations have tried to present this scientific data only to be ignored. Look it up. Its not beneficial and never has been.

  • @Corehaven22 Children under 1 year old don't even drink water... Breast milk and formula don't contain harmful amounts of fluoride. Exactly what tests did they perform to determine this, anyway? Where was the paper published?

    6 decades of research have gone into water fluoridation to make it a safe and effective health preventative measure. There have never been any evidence or cases of harmful side-effects either. Look at "A Systematic Review of Water Fluoridation" published by the NHS.

  • @dudepal187 nah, dude pal.. you should really just do some research yourself. Instead of arguing here.

  • @LittleMikeStarCraft Done the research already, like I said earlier. What sources would you have me look at that support this silly theory then?

  • @dudepal187 Children under 1 year old dont even drink water. OKAY THEN! You've apparently never raised a child. I have two. And yes you can give them water you idiot. You SHOULD give them some water. Man alive. You're literally telling me they dont drink water!? Hahahaha. As far as formula goes you mix water in with it numb nuts. It comes in powdered form and if thats the case yes, thats exactly what you do. You mix in water. You're an idiot.

  • @Corehaven22 Read my comment again before you look like an ass. You normally don't give a child under 1 straight up water, only breast milk or formula. Then I said those two don't have very high concentrations of fluoride. Mixing water with anything changes the concentration. You're not supposed to feed children water unless recommended by a doctor. Please don't tell me you're going to teach your kids about this fluoride BS.

  • @dudepal187 I've conducted test on my own self to see the truth for myself and I've noted how brushing my teeth after 3 days of just using dental floss leaves my teeth much white that if I do it everyday. I assume is because Colgate and every other toothpaste by that matter damages the teeth.

  • @SWOgottaGO One test on one subject does not reveal a truth in this case. Dentists recommend brushing twice a day for a reason, and that is because the evidence supports it as the healthiest thing to do in order prevent gum disease and cavities.

  • @dudepal187 What's funny about that is that when you have cavities and they put you mercury into it then suddently the teeth above/below gets damage too and they will tell you to put some more mercury into the new ones damaged. Funny how that works, right?

  • @SWOgottaGO Or bad brushing habits could lead to more cavities in places that cavities are most likely to form. That could be a thing too. You totally got off topic btw. Oh and fillings are alloys, not straight mercury.

    You really think you know better than dentists and modern medicine?

  • @dudepal187 People using fluoride to clean teeth is the single most stupid thing I have ever heard of during my lifetime. I don't expect anything will ever top it. It is just asinine.

  • thanks for not being a pussy!

  • funny... the almost free toothpaste they have in state prisons in pennsylvania had a lot more flouride ion that name brand toothpaste you could also buy, shit was called FreshMint but they also put salt peter in our food to kill our libidos, A: u can taste the shit its not normal salt B: u couldn't bust a nut for almost 2 days after getting a decent dose

  • 1:39!!

  • my water taste funny

  • @2:58 Why can't we talk about it in public? give me a fucking break, you are and you can, stop trying to make it sound all scary and shit

  • i dont brush my teeth and i drink water from the pond ,, i am safe

  • at 4:17 is that Hans Blix? Am I correct to assume that there is some connection with him, and the video's description of the same material used for Fluoridation being used for the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Is this video accusing him of sitting on his hands when he could have been doing something about this?

  • part of the population reduction plan

  • 0:50 CALCIUM Fluoride occurs naturally. SODIUM Fluoride is a poison that is put in our water and toothpaste and food.

  • can boiling water take out the fluoride?

  • @thesheadr Boiling Water will concentrate the fluoride rather than reduce it. Google how to remove flouride from water.

  • @thesheadr i dont think so. It takes a certain filter.

  • any sources or references to back up that flouride used in water is actually waste? or is this just bullshit too?

  • @jake1497 @jake1497 Hey, hope this helps. I am not 100% sure either, but I am researching and trying to figure out. :) It'll be good to know the truth so we can inform the people we all care about. I can't post the link, but if you google "where does fluoride in our water come from?" the first link that shows up is a good place to start I think.

  • am I the only one who thinks his voice sounds like Ryan Gosling ??????

  • WTF? This pisses me off. 

  • Dental fluorosis and brown staining he was showing are 2 different things. People, do some research, stop being monkeys of the system. Hey listen if i pop a bottle of tylenol i'll kill myself, if i drink too much alcohol i'll kill myself, hell you can even drink too much water and die from it. He has no merit, i'm from NYC and live here for 25 years now and we've had fluoride in the water since 1964 and i brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, my teeth are white, no decay, and no problems.

  • @DimaSFX You are asleep, the fluoride has already been effective on you. It's probably too late for you now.

  • @DimaSFX You sound like one of them.

  • I've been taking flouride twice a day for 10 years

  • I rarely brush my teeth , aint sure if it's cos i'm english , or against flouride :) .

    It's cos of flouride.

  • Take the commercial off this clip you sell out!

  • So I have brown teeth because of flouride! Not because my Mom told me to brush..

  • I knew about the fluoride in the water by the song end of days by Vinnie paz

  • What the hell is with the star? at 1:37

  • every time we brush are teeth, we are getting 1% stuipider! STOP FLORIDE PRODUCTION! we could have 999 I.Q! No wonder why asians are smarter than us americans! I think the CFR, illuminati, and x aliens are going to put fluoride in every thing. The world is gonna be dumb while some living things are gonna the smartest things in the stuipid universe. they are gonna be called CFRIX or "cifrix". Come with me and test coke, shampoo, and water. I am warning you fluoride nazis we got guns and fist!

  • New studies have shown that flouride can actually cause bone cancer...not exactly the 'it help's bone growth' shit that government officials put out.

  • @iRob420 And the whole idea that the 'New world order' is non existant is ridiculous, so many politicians use the phrase all the time...but what exactly do we know of their plans for a new world order...jack shit. They lie all the time anyway, and advocate killing each other; so I have a good reason to be skeptic on the benefits for the people.

  • @iRob420

    Exactly! Especially when everything is revolved around profits. Our (non-organic) food is filled with pesticides, artificial fertilizers, artificial hormones, and other harmful chemicals. The promoted way of dealing with illnesses is through drugs. Why? Because it makes the most money! Why is cannabis illegal? Because pharmaceutical companies would lose practically 50% of their business. Natural means of healing are cheap and solve the problem. "Big Bro" don't like that.

  • just like salt uses poisonous chlorine

  • WTF WHY THERE IS A STAR IN PENTAGON AT 1:36?

  • i must be the smartest man on earth, i rarely brush teeth.

    for removing my bad breath i light a smoke.

  • Its our own fault if we just live for the tv being on and the water flowing !,most are happy to watch the shite on tv. Personally I got bored with it ages ago,but im screwed in my country having to pay for a 'licence' just to own one !

    There arent enough pages to write of all the negative aspect of the arseholes that lead and control our world,just sitting and waiting for armageddon to wipe them clean off the face of the planet(they cant hide either !!!)

  • Well i drink from a water hole, not from company gouvernment provided water, so im smart enough to say:

    "here´s where it gets crazy"

  • i remember when i was in grade four in 1985 the school was bringing around cups of flouride twice a week to our classrooms and getting us to drink it when i refused one day i was taken to the principals office and given the strap and told not to ever refuse it again or tell other students not to drink it

  • Plus, the fluoride rinse they used at the dentist. 2 children died of poisoning from swallowing the fluoride.

  • Use non chemical soap to brush your teeth.

  • yes this 100% fact

  • Meeh........

  • i'm never brushing my teeth again..

  • @VmkCheetohs just get un fluoridated toothpaste. Or use Dr. Bronners Soap

  • So swallowing a chemical waste product that various industries provide too much of is bad for our health, no rly?

  • sodium fluoride which is used in toothpaste is just a salt. it is so un-reactive it is not going to react to release any fluorine into you...

  • @fergfergferg123 dude you retarded "cocaine hyrdochloride" the chemical name for cocaine: it's a salt and im pretty dam sure that has an effect, stfu with your misinformation

  • @mikeymike441 yes but sodium fluoride is extremely reactive.... 

  • @fergfergferg123 so if it's extremely reactive, then there would be some effects right? I'm confused now bc first you say it's so un-reactive, then you say it'e extremely reactive... imo the stuff in toothpaste is fine bc only a small amount of the sodium floride may actually get into your system. On the other hand putting it in the water is essentially medicating a whole population without their consent, and w/o most peoples knowlage

  • @mikeymike441 i meant unreactive lol sorry. fluoride is very reactive but an ion with sodium really cannot be that dangerous.....

  • @fergfergferg123 fasho sorry to say stfu earlier lol, to be honest i havn't read much into the chemistry of it all, but i've read a lot of paper published by dentists stating the ludacrisy of it being in the tap water. the stuff in the water is actually bi-products of some industrial procedure, and despite all the petitions there have been to stop this practice, it's all dismissed by people in charge. There is actually a gum disease or something of the matter that is a direct resut of over exp-

  • @fergfergferg123 osure

  • The flouride one is frightenning only because in the 80's, a friend of mine had documents from a Naval experiment on the effects of flouride on sailors they tested it on. The documents stated that high levels of flouride causeded a slow down in reaction time and mental sluggishness was notable... I wish I still had thos documents so that I could get them verified. Oh well thought I'd share this with everyone... hope it helps.

  • at 1:39 (pause) what is that symbol mean?

  • 1:51 the deathly hallows

  • They're not so smart, Asherd10. :).....Not their.

  • lol , does anyone see a star , ? like 1:38 or 1:37 ??

  • @thekillerscape yea sir...I saw it.

  • @thekillerscape yes there is a star with a pentagon in it. WTF ?

  • @thekillerscape Yea, I saw them too.

  • @thekillerscape press at 1:39

  • @thekillerscape yeaaa PROPOGANDA: |

  • @thekillerscape If you saw it, it was intentional. The editor/author is making a point. I saw it too, but you should be aware that it is possible to insert flash images between frames so that you don't actively acknowledge it, but your subconscious does perceive it. That's how you know it was intentional/harmless.

  • @AbominableHuman The human eye sees two frames at a time of video, if you insert an image in between frames your subconscious will see it, and you will never know. They used to do this in the movies all the tiem, they would put "popcorn" every 10 minutes youd never know but you damn well knew you wanted popcorn. They have since banned this practice, however, every 20 minutes if you look in the top right of ANY film in a theatre, there will be two blinks to tell when to swap reels.

  • Pause at 2:52

  • "I don't know anything about Chemistry, Biology, Biochemistry or Neuroscience but i can still make youtube videos so my opinion is the truth and you should all believe me!"

    This video is a joke, and the point you said New World Order I couldn't stop laughing.

    If this isn't a joke you need help.

  • @Nickelskov you need help you brainwashed sheep person...

  • @jmganjaman I'm obviously a sheep because I took time to research this matter and learn the science behind it, you on the other hand obviously just watched this video and thought, well that must be true, its on youtube!

    you need help you brainwashed sheep person...

  • george w doesnt even SELL his KNOWLEDGE for a profit
