There is Evidence Illustrating That Fluoridation Isn’t Safe for All
Opinion Advocates for ideas and draws conclusions based on the author/producer’s interpretation of facts and data.
Artificial fluoridation was birthed in 1945 based on the theory that fluoride was a tooth essential nutrient. But it’s not. So, consuming a fluoride-free diet doesn’t cause cavities.
Like all drugs, fluoride has a list of adverse side effects. Somehow fluoride drugs are promoted as mostly benign. Hundreds of animal studies back 85 human studies linking fluoride to lower IQ. Early fluoridation supporters had no clue fluoride would collect in the brain.
Fluoride’s link to kidney disease is over 100 years old.
Fluoride is a thyroid disrupter. In fact, through the 1950s, doctors prescribed fluoride to patients with overactive thyroid disease to suppress thyroid activity.
It’s undisputed that too much ingested fluoride is health harming. So, those who drink loads of water, obviously, are at risk of overexposure, including diabetics, dieters, outdoor summer workers, athletes.
Some are hypersensitive or allergic to fluoride.
You can put that all aside and just use common sense. Fluoride is ubiquitous. It’s in virtually all foods and beverages, 20 percent of medicine, absorbed from dental products, in air pollution and more. Tea, naturally high in fluoride, can contain more fluoride than allowed in drinking water. Seventy percent of U.S. children are fluoride overdosed already. Fluoridation is unnecessary.
The American Dental Association whispers “dentists must assess a child’s total fluoride exposure from all sources (beverages, food, toothpaste, supplements, topical applications and so forth…,” Journal of the American Dental Association 2014). Few dentists and fluoridation promoters comply.
