Fluoride: The Government Approved Toxin

Remember why you hated going to the dentist as a child? How the dental technician made you rinse your mouth with fluoride or sunk your teeth in fluoride foam? It tasted terrible, made your mouth tingly and maybe gave you a headache. The dentist said it would whiten your teeth and protect them against cavities and gum disease, so you obliged. What if it was a lie?

Fluoride is actually a poison! The American Dental Association has been through tons of lawsuits and has now admitted that fluoride not only rots teeth from the inside but that it also causes gum disease as well. Fluoride has major negative effects on humans such as increase risk for bone cancer (especially in boys), puts holes in brain tissue, damages liver and kidneys, calcifies arteries and increases risk for hypothyroid conditions.

Fluoride’s main natural element is fluorine, which is a toxic gas that is the most chemically active non-metallic element. When fluorine is combined with hydrogen it makes hydrofluoric acid, a chemical used to dissolve glass. The Nazis diluted fluoride compounds three parts per million in drinking water to calm prisoners. Fluoride is also used to kill rats. Knowing this, why would anyone want to have these poisonous compounds anywhere near their mouths let alone their children’s?

New York, Colorado, Texas and Florida have been implementing mandatory one minute 0.2% fluoride rinses for school children. These programs are geared toward children who do not live in fluoridated water communities. That’s right, many communities fluoridate water in attempt to help its citizens to “fight” cavities. School and water fluoridation programs are waving over the nation and must be stopped.

Many brands of toothpaste contain 2% fluoride and recommend pea-sized amounts for usage. However, even this amount is toxic and if consumed, users are to call the poison control center. Generally people don’t eat toothpaste, but small children do not know this. Fluoride is highly absorbent especially when added to a liquid. Therefore it does not matter if you eat toothpaste or not, because your body will absorb it anyway.

If you live in fluoridated water communities, I suggest buying water and shower filters for protection. Check with your school district to see if your child is receiving fluoride rinses. After rinsing for one minute, there is no doubt that the entire quantity of fluoride will be absorbed and will affect the future health of your children.

Professionals Urge End to Water Fluoridation

Over 1600 professionals signed a statement urging Congress to stop water fluoridation until Congressional hearings are conducted. They cite new scientific evidence that fluoridation, long promoted to fight tooth decay, is ineffective and has serious health risks. (http://www.fluorideaction.org/statement.august.2007.html)

Signers include a Nobel Prize winner, three members of the prestigious 2006 National Research Council (NRC) panel that reported on fluoride’s toxicology, two officers in the Union representing professionals at EPA headquarters, the President of the International Society of Doctors for the Environment, and hundreds of medical, dental, academic, scientific and environmental professionals, worldwide.

Signer Dr. Arvid Carlsson, winner of the 2000 Nobel Prize for Medicine, says, “Fluoridation is against all principles of modern pharmacology. It's really obsolete.”

An Online Action Petition to Congress in support of the Professionals' Statement is available on FAN's web site, http://congress.fluorideaction.net and over 11,000 individuals have signed so far.

“The NRC report dramatically changed scientific understanding of fluoride's health risks," says Paul Connett, PhD, Executive Director, Fluoride Action Network. "Government officials who continue to promote fluoridation must testify under oath as to why they are ignoring the powerful evidence of harm in the NRC report,” he added.

The Professionals’ Statement also references:

-- The new American Dental Association policy recommending infant formula NOT be prepared with fluoridated water.
-- The CDC’s concession that the predominant benefit of fluoride is topical not systemic.
-- CDC data showing that dental fluorosis, caused by fluoride over-exposure, now impacts one third of American children.
-- Major research indicating little difference in decay rates between fluoridated and non-fluoridated communities.
-- A Harvard study indicating a possible link between fluoridation and bone cancer.
-- The silicofluoride chemicals used for fluoridation are contaminated industrial waste and have never been FDA- approved for human ingestion.

The Environmental Working Group (EWG), a DC watchdog, revealed that a Harvard professor concealed the fluoridation/bone cancer connection for three years. EWG President Ken Cook states, “It is time for the US to recognize that fluoridation has serious risks that far outweigh any minor benefits, and unlike many other environmental issues, it's as easy to end as turning off a valve at the water plant.”

Further, researchers reporting in the Oct 6 2007 British Medical Journal indicate that fluoridation, touted as a safe cavity preventive, never was proven safe or effective and may be unethical. (1)


Many communities rejected or stopped fluoridation over the years. See: http://www.fluoridealert.org/communities.htm
