See book keywords and concepts |  Some studies have shown a reduced incidence of dental decay in populations drinking fluoridated water. There does not appear to be any advantage to fluoride supplements, topical fluoride, or fluoridated water in people over the age of 16, as the teeth have hardened by this age. In children and younger teens, topical fluoride treatments seem to reduce tooth decay.
INTAKE OF FLUORIDE
The major source of fluoride in the United States is fluoridated water. About two-thirds of the population of the United States drinks fluoridated water. The fluoride content of food is extremely low. |

With all this knowledge and current research demonstrating the harmful effects of fluoride, can you believe a company (DS Waters of America Inc.) would actually market bottled water for children containing this toxin? Nursery*, for infants, actually advertises on the label that it has "added fluoride"! |

See book keywords and concepts |  This is demonstrated by an increase in the number of hip fractures in communities where fluoridated water is consumed.25 While good evidence does show that drinking fluoridated water can reduce the incidence of cavities, an argument can be made that the risks of ingesting fluoride outweigh its benefits. Probably the most effective way to prevent cavities is to eliminate refined sugar from the diet.
Aluminum is another toxic metal that is commonly added to municipal water supplies in order to remove particulate matter. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Fluoride has topical action as well as whole-body effects,14 suggesting that those who do not have access to fluoridated water can achieve some benefit with fluoride-containing toothpastes and mouthwashes. In areas without fluoridated water, a number of controlled trials have found oral use of chewable fluoride tablets (1 to 2 mg per day of fluoride)15,16 or fluoride mouth-rinses (0.05% to 0.2% fluoride content)17,18 also reduce caries risk in children. Fluoride tablets19 and mouthwash20 have been found to be effective for caries prevention in young adults and the elderly. |

Summary for Fluoride
Main functions: strengthens tooth enamel. Adequate Intakes: adult men, 3.8 mg; adult women, 3.1 mg. Toxicity: very toxic.
Tolerable upper intake level is 10 mg for adults. Deficiency may increase risk of dental decay. Sources: fluoridated drinking water.
Forms in the body: fluoroapatite in bones and teeth. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The number of deaths in fluoridated water areas, according to the CDC (Center for Disease Control), is 5 percent higher than in non-fluoridated areas. It is so deadly that in 1979 a dentist was sued for the death of a three-year-old child who swallowed a fluoride rinse. Sodium fluoride is not only in water, but in Diet Coke at 2.96 ppm and in 42 percent of ready-to-drink fruit juices.9 This is probably because they are using fluoridated water where their factories are located. | | According to Charles Perkins, a research chemist who spent twenty years researching fluorine: "Any person who drinks artificially fluoridated water for a period of more than one year or more, will never again be the same person mentally or physically."8 According to Dr. Tru Ott, sodium fluoride inhibits more than 100 important enzyme functions in the body and is associated with approximately 50,000 cancer deaths per year. The number of deaths in fluoridated water areas, according to the CDC (Center for Disease Control), is 5 percent higher than in non-fluoridated areas. |

In contrast, many teas provide 1.32 to 4.18 parts per million of fluoride. Research into the dental benefits of green tea confirms that green tea does, in fact, reduce the incidence of dental cavities, although researchers believe that the catechins are primarily responsible for the anticaries effect. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Due to our modern diets, processed foods, chlorinated and fluoridated water, pharmaceutical antibiotics, and intestinal toxemia, friendly bacteria populations are greatly reduced in the human intestinal tract. Because of this, they should be reintroduced on a regular basis by supplementing the diet with a probiotic product that is a synergistic formulation of natural and requisite live bacteria. There are many strains of probiotics. Acidophilus and bifidus are the more commonly recognized strains available in healthfood stores. Others, such as L. Salivarius and L. Plantarum are more powerful. |

Particularly disturbing is the information that the thesis adviser, Porfessor Cheser Douglass, who is also a consultant to Colgate, has covered up these results in talks to the public and in a report to his funding agency.

See book keywords and concepts |  Opponents to fluoridation contend that when fluoridated water is consumed regularly, toxic levels of fluorine, the poisonous substance from which fluoride is derived, build up in the body, causing irreparable harm to the immune system. The Delaney Congressional Investigation Committee, the government body charged with monitoring additives and other substances in the food supply, has stated "fluoridation is mass medication without parallel in the history of medicine." Meanwhile, no convincing scientific proof has ever been generated that fluoridated water makes for stronger bones and teeth. |

See book keywords and concepts | | About two-thirds of the population of the United States drinks fluoridated water. The fluoride content of food is extremely low. Only tea and sardines have been found to contain even small amounts of fluoride. The swallowing of fluoride-containing toothpaste is a major source of fluoride intake, especially in children.
TOXICITY OF FLUORIDE
There is some controversy about the toxicity of fluoride. It is well established that excess fluoride can cause dental fluorosis. Mild dental fluorosis can result in mottled teeth. With higher levels of fluoride, pitting of the tooth enamel can occur. |

See book keywords and concepts | | The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends supplementing children in areas without fluoridated water with liquid fluoride drops,23 but this should be done with the guidance of a dentist.
Lifestyle changes that may be helpful
The ADA recommends regular tooth brushing—daily brushing, ideally after each meal.24 Although thorough brushing varies from person to person, five to ten strokes in each area should be adequate.25 Toothpastes containing 1,000 to 2,500 ppm (1 to 2.5 mg per gram) of fluoride have been shown to reduce caries risk. |
Phyllis A. Balch, CNC
See book keywords and concepts | | Although many ailments and disorders—including Down syndrome, mottled teeth, and cancer—have been linked to fluoridated water, fluoridation has become the standard rather than the exception.
Individuals have different levels of tolerance for toxins such as fluoride. In addition, many water sources have levels of fluoride higher than one part per million, the level generally recognized as safe and originally set as the acceptable limit by the EPA. | | Meanwhile, no convincing scientific proof has ever been generated that fluoridated water makes for stronger bones and teeth. It is known, however, that chronic fluoride use can result in health problems, including osteoporosis and osteomalacia, and also damages teeth and leaves them mottled. Fluorine is never found in elemental form in nature because it is so reactive. Numerous compounds of fluorine can, however, exist. These are notoriously toxic compounds, so much so that they are used in rat poison and insecticides. |

See book keywords and concepts |  These beverages may have been made with fluoridated water. Keeping in mind that chromosome damage to cells can occur at fluoride amounts as low as one part per million, or 1.0 ppm, here are a few examples of the levels of fluoride in some common food and beverage products3:
And of course, there are the common dental toothpastes people are using from which they may be absorbing deadly sodium fluoride on a daily basis.
The public health danger of fluoridated water is astronomical, and it will only get worse as it builds up in our environment. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Drinking fluoridated water (1 mg fluoride [page 519] per liter) has led to an estimated 40% to 60% reduction in dental caries in many cities in the United States and worldwide.10,11 While most experts believe water fluoridation to be associated with minimal risk,12 others disagree. A minority of scientists believes fluoridation to be associated with an unacceptable risk of skeletal damage, including osteoporotic fractures and bone tumors, in exchange for a modest dental benefit. |

See book keywords and concepts | | The validity of the studies that found increased risk of fracture in communities with fluoridated water has been questioned by some scientists.11 A pooled analysis of 29 studies on this issue concluded that there did not appear to be an increased risk of fracture in areas of water fluoridation.12 Dental fluorosis, a brown staining of teeth due to fluoride exposure during childhood, is the best-documented adverse effect of fluoride. At a water fluoride level of 1 part per million (or 1 mg per liter), roughly 13% will have fluorosis to an aesthetically concerning degree. |
