Fluoride in Public Water
Flouride Found in Public Water Products
Although many may claim that fluoride is, in some respects, healthy for the dental health in humans, numerous researches have proved the contrary. It has been stated that fluoride negatively affects the human nervous system and harms people’s dental well-being instead of improving it. The fluoride found in public water products is causing some serious health threats. Fluoride is a highly toxic substance. Currently, there are tens of millions of people throughout China and India who now suffer serious crippling bone diseases from drinking water with elevated levels of fluoride.
In terms of acute toxicity, fluoride is more toxic than lead, but slightly less toxic than arsenic. This is why fluoride has long been used in rodenticides and pesticides to kill pests like rats and insects. It is also why accidents involving over-ingestion of fluoridated dental products–including fluoride gels, fluoride supplements, and fluoridated water–can cause serious poisoning incidents, including death.
Current safety standards for fluoride are based on the premise that severe dental fluorosis (a condition of full teeth decay and malformation) and crippling skeletal fluorosis are the first adverse effects that fluoride can have on the body. Research already shows, in fact, that fluoride can cause arthritic symptoms and bone fracture well before the onset of crippling fluorosis, and can affect many other tissues besides bone and teeth, including the brain and thyroid gland. In some cases, cognitive issues in children and IQ retardation occur. One study carried out in China proved that children exposed to day-to-day consumption of fluoride, show lower IQ records, unlike children who have not been exposed to fluoride as much.
