It’s that time again! I read through a few sources on our latest, dentist-touted friend: Fluoride!
========================================
Here is the link to the summary file I created:

========================================
This installment has a couple of new editions to the series: a “questions for the reader” page and a “PR info from the ADA/CDC page”. Don’t forget to check out the custom table of weight to fluoride levels (per the government recommendations). Guaranteed your baby/child is consuming too much Fluoride. I’m just sayin’!
Just check out all of these ‘wonderful’ things that come along with regular ingestion / use of unnatural sources of fluoride:
- ‘Too much’ fluoride can have the opposite effect of what is desired in the form of dental fluorosis (a weakening of the tooth enamel).
- In China and India millions of people are suffering from dental and skeletal fluorosis – abnormal or poisoned tooth and bone conditions induced by Fluroide (F) – mainly due to consumption of high levels of F in drinking water. Symptoms of poisoning are lameness, stiff joints, and chronic pain.
- Fluoride pollution is a major problem through-out the globe arising mostly from coal combustion, dust from fresh concrete used for construction, and runoff from application of insecticides and herbicides.
- Fluoride is a bioaccumulative toxin and the rate of decay of fluoride is unknown in humans.
- Daily intake of fluoride comes from consumed water, wine, beer, soda, tea, air, toothpaste, mouth-washes, dental treatments, infant formula, processed cereals, juice, cigarettes, fluoridated salt, seafood, bone products such as bone meal and gelatin, and bathing/swimming in water.
- Even at low levels of F intake, appreciable levels of F will, in time, accumulate in calcified tissues.
- Several groups of researchers have reported reproductive effects of F in humans.
- There have been reports of a decrease in fertility in women and decreased serum testosterone levels in men living in communities with high fluoride levels in municipal water.
- Fluoride treatment has been shown to induce embryotoxicity in pregnant rats.
- Exposure of male mice to NaF (sodium fluoride) has shown a marked decrease in fertility rate. Withdrawal of NaF treatment for 30 days produced incomplete recovery.
- A review of fluoride toxicity showed decreased fertility in most animal species studied.
- Fluoride exposure leads to cell damage, induces necrosis, and inhibits DNA repair. Eventually, F produces massive impairment in the functions of vital organs, particularly when given orally.
- Studies have shown that it is known that fluoride inhibits actions involving calcium (such as those involved in the learning processes).
- Fluoride negatively affects Vitamin C levels in the body, but supplemental vitamin C greatly lowered F deposition in the bone.
