Toxicology: Fluoride / Fluorine [F]

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.
Exciting news, huh!  Share the information and don’t ever make an uninformed decision again!  Smile!
