Fluorosis

Skeletal fluorosis is a bone disease caused by excessive consumption of fluoride.

Is is a debilitating disease with similar symptoms of arthritis.

Skeletal fluorosis has a number of stages.

In the first two stages (preclinical), the patient feels no symptoms but changes have already taken place in the body.

In the first stage, biochemical abnormalities occur in the blood and in bone composition. Symptoms include pain in the bones and joints, sensations of burning, prickling, tingling, muscle weakness, and chronic fatigue.

In the second stage, the pain in the bones become constant and some ligaments begin to calcify.

According to the National Research Council, "Crippling skeletal fluorosis might occur in people who have ingested 10-20 mg of fluoride per day in 10-20 years."

Common cases of fluoride exposure come from daily contact with and occasional ingestion of fluoridated toothpaste, mouthwash or tap water.

Fluoride in our Tap Water

The purpose of adding fluoride to tap water is to reduce tooth decay; however it makes more sense to just use fluoridated toothpaste and mouthwash for that purpose.

Fluoride’s benefits are far outweighed by the health problems it can cause to the brain, thyroid gland, bones, and kidneys when swallowed.

Thus, drinking fluoridated tap water has little benefits, but many risks.

How to Avoid Skeletal Fluorosis

One way to avoid fluoride is to purchase a water filter. Some water filters do not effectively remove fluoride so it is important to purchase the right kind of filter.

Thus, if you are looking for a water filter to remove fluoride or any other heavy metals make sure it uses "reverse osmosis" technology.

A reverse osmosis filter installed in the home will remove more than 97% of the fluoride as well as many other contaminants in your drinking water.
