1. why is the health ministry against health..no confidence..
r ,   Jerusalem   (07.20.12)
see documentary, Fluoride Deception. Ministry of health in Israeli is a joke. they need to get out of the dark ages.
2. fluoride
Nofia ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.20.12)
If there's still going to be fluoride added to the water then the quality has not improved. It's still garbage.
3. Toothpaste has floride
Ethan ,   Eilat   (07.20.12)
The silly geese like paying obscene prices for their bottles of water.
4. Water H2O water good luck purifying it RIGHT ???

I hope Israel gets its own standards up to par with America the world regarding water a nice five 5 letter word which is vitally important to life ADAM EVE no doubt drank water as did Moses Jesus Allah all Arab Jewish world religions regard water at times as even a SACRED THING... water... I drink beer milk tea coffee but I drink a lot of water as well at 68 I have used water 68 years hope to continue to... Syria Israel once even regarded going to war over water but then there is Salt Water the RED SEA still it is water RIGHT ??? Thank you... M.S.
5. Water
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (07.20.12)
There's only one way to drink water: after it's been heated and run over a good quality of coffee :-)
6. fluoride and chlorine are lovely
Helano   (07.21.12)
add a pinch of strychnine and cyanide and now you have four of the most poisonous substances known to man in the drinking water, bottoms up!
7. Magnesium in water
Reuven36 ,   Herzliya Israel   (07.22.12)
It seems to me it would make much more sense to hand out small-dose magnesium tablets to consumers rather than adding magnesium to the general water supply. It is surely common sense that only a tiny percentage of the water entering our homes is consumed by mouth. The huge amount of money that will be spent on adding magnesium to the general supply will be literally going down the drain. Surely at least the comparative prices should be investigated.
8. To No' 3
sammy ,   Israel   (07.22.12)
Your quite a silly goose yourself! Fluoride has plenty if innherent dangers much of which are being hidden by the governments in order to stop a mass wave of suings against them. Check it out online and you'll see whats in it. So yes we will enjoy our bottled water and fluoride less toothpaste, while you can enjoy lower bills and a shorter life!
9. FLORIDE IS DANGEROUS!
Riva Schertzman ,   Israel   (07.22.12)
THIS is not something to debate. It's easy enough to verify! It's totally irresponsible to FORCE the public to drink floride (which can also decrease the general IQ). At the very least, the public should vote on it. After all, WE are paying for the water we use!!!
10. Why you should oppose adding fluoride in your water
Leo ,   Modi'in   (07.24.12)
1. There is already fluoride in our water (provided by the industry and paid by the state -- that is by us...). Yes yes. 2. Think for a second: even if fluoride was good for your teeth (which is not true, quite the contrary), why drink it ? 3. Once fluoride is in the water, it stays in it for a long time. It's pretty complicated to get it back once it's inside the ecosystem. Long long term pollution. 4. Finally: even without 1-2-3, the decision is wrong for a simple reason: not only it is undemocratic, but also it cannot be forced unto the people.
