Fluoride: Why You Should Not Have It In Your Water

They say it is effective in preventing dental caries. They also say it's safe.

Hold on there.

Cavities are getting more rare all over, not just where the water is fluoridated. Effective?

After all, it's good for teeth, right? (NO!)

The ADA says not to give it to infants to avoid DAMAGING THEIR TEETH

"On Nov. 9, 2006 the American Dental Association released an email alert to its members warning that, in order to prevent tooth damage, fluoridated water should not be mixed into formula or foods intended for babies aged 1 and younger.

Currently, two-thirds of the U.S. public water supply has fluoride chemicals added, a move centered on a now-disproved theory that fluoride ingestion prevents cavities. Research by the Centers for Disease Control has shown that fluoride absorbs into tooth enamel topically, but ingestion of the chemical can cause adverse reactions. Also, the CDC admitted that enamel fluoride concentration was not inversely related to cavities.

It concentrates in the pineal gland. Is early onset of puberty "safe?" How about faulty regulation of melatonin levels? Safe?

Lower IQ: effective! (well, ok, effective for the people who started our government school system)

There are a few (thousand)doctors against fluoridation.

Maybe some of them heard about the link to bone cancers in boys?

Or was that the link to diabetes?

But the studies! They did studies! Well, they went back and studied the studies and they all stink. You couldn't get a peer-reviewed journal today to publish the studies used to promote fluoridation back in the day.

If you are fortunate enough to live in a place where they don't add fluorine (and it's not naturally present in high levels) good for you. Otherwise, distillation will get rid of it for you.

Good luck.
