Is Flouride a Danger to Your Health and Sanity?

by Linda Page, N.D., Ph.D.

 

Take a deep breath because what I am about to tell you is going to be a

shock. Fluoride is an unnecessary, toxic poison added to your food and

water supply. No other substance deliberately added to food or water

poses the health risks of fluoride.

 

Under the guise of health benefits, fluoride is now present in most

commercial toothpastes and is regularly added to over 60% of our public

drinking water. As a health professional and human being, I am outraged

by the practice of mandatory water fluoridation and the addition of

fluoride to toothpastes used regularly by children and adults.

 

 

A new study shows fluoride increases absorption of aluminum from

deodorants, or pots and pans by over 600%! The aluminum concentration in

the brains of Alzheimer's patients is 15 times higher than in healthy

individuals. The fluoride/aluminum combination spells disaster for your

brain's health!

 

That's not the only problem with fluoride. We've been told how good it

is for us, but I'd like to dispel some of the myths about fluoride.

 

Fiction: Fluoride is a natural substance.

 

Fact: Fluoride occurs naturally in some water supplies as natural

calcium fluoride, but the type of fluoride added to water and

toothpastes is a hazardous waste by-product (hydrofluosilicic acid)

coming from the phosphate fertilizer industries.

 

Fiction: Fluoride reduces tooth decay.

 

Fact: A recent analysis of national survey data collected by the

National Institute of Dental Research shows that children who live in

areas of the U.S. where the water supplies are fluoridated have tooth

decay rates almost identical with those who live in non-fluoridated

areas. Further, recent large-scale studies show no difference in decay

rates of permanent teeth in fluoridated and non-fluoridated areas.

 

Fiction: Mandatory water fluoridation is safe.

 

Fact: An enormous body of evidence from both animal and human

epidemiology studies is now clear. Fluoride exposure is linked to

cancer, genetic damage, nervous system dysfunction, and bone diseases.

Studies also link fluoride exposure to lowered IQ in children.

 

 

More Fluoride Facts:

 

 

Fluoride is more toxic than lead. Even in minute doses, it is damaging

to brain/mind development.

 

Studies show that fluoride is linked to Alzheimer's and Senile Dementia.

 

In areas where fluorosis (fluoride poisoning) is prevalent, a higher

concentration of fluoride is found in the developing brain tissue of

unborn children.

 

Hip fracture rates are much higher in people residing in fluoridated

communities.

 

Postmenopausal women, people 50 and over, people with nutrient

deficiencies and people with cardiovascular and kidney problems are

especially affected by fluoride exposure.

 

The U.S. National Research Council admits that dental fluorosis affects

from 8% to 51% of the children drinking fluoridated water.

 

 

Is Fluoride Toothpaste Safe?

The answer to this question is a resounding no. The poison control

center receives over 11,000 calls a year because of poisoning from

ingesting fluoride toothpaste. In 1997, the FDA even mandated a poison

warning label on fluoride toothpaste! Small children, who tend to

swallow toothpaste, are most at risk. Signs of fluoride poisoning

include vomiting and muscle cramps. Look for non-fluoridated toothpastes

like Natures Gate Spearmint or Cinnamon Toothpaste at your health food

store.

 

As we near the millennium our country is in a grave situation. The

widespread use of fluoride in our dental products, food, and beverages

is causing massive fluoride poisoning in the U.S. population. Plus, the

fluoridated water affects our food supply. Fruits and vegetables watered

with fluoridated water mean toxic fluoride is leeched into the produce

you eat. Not even organic produce is safe from fluoride in the water supply.

 

People throughout the United States need to work hard to stop mandatory

water fluoridation before its too late. If you want to help stop

mandatory water fluoridation, contact:
