Japanese Review of Fluorine Toxicity

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

 

See http://tinyurl.com/clrho6 for a detailed review of Fluorine toxicity in

humans: Kenji Akiniwa. RE-EXAMINATION OF ACUTE TOXICITY OF FLUORIDE - Research

Review. Fluoride Vol. 30 No. 2 89-104 1997. Tokyo, Japan.

 

Dr Akiniwa puts circa 0.1mg F / kg bodyweight / day, or 8mg F / day for an adult

as a toxic dose (chronic toxicity). The CLD (Certainly Lethal Dose - acute

toxicity and death in 100% of cases) is circa 32-64mg F for adults. By that

reckoning, 10-20 Prozac tablets at one time could be lethal.

 

Because mean dietary Ca intakes, and bodyweight, are lower in Japan than in USA,

the Japanese population would be more at risk from 8mg F / day than heavier US

citizens who ingest the same 8mg F but a higher calcium intake.

 

Dr Akiniwa concludes: Fluoride mouth rinsing is considered a drug treatment that

should be strictly controlled. Evaluation of chronic fluoride intoxication

should be reviewed, and a new assessment of the toxic dose of fluoride based on

scientific data is urgently needed.

 

Best regards,
