Adverse Effects of
Fluoride on Brain Development Scientifically Confirmed
Fluoride is added to the drinking water
in many countries in a process called fluoridation, ostensibly to protect teeth
from decay, especially the teeth of poorer individuals who have no access to
good dental treatment, especially children.
Governments have repeatedly told
everyone that this is safe and effective, but a recent study published in the
world’s most renowned medical journal, The
Lancet, has classified fluoride as a neurotoxin that has a negative impact
on brain development similar to other toxic compounds such as arsenic, lead and
mercury.
The reason that countries add fluoride
to their drinking water is based on an outdated notion that fluoride prevents
dental decay, and that when applied frequently in low concentrations, it
increases the rate of growth and size of tooth enamel, which will help to
reverse the formation of small cavities.
Modern studies however, show that
dental decay rates are so low that the effects of water fluoridation cannot
actually be measured, which effectively means that the benefits of water
fluoridation, if any, are not clinically relevant.
There are also various other ways to
provide your teeth with fluoride; toothpaste has fluoride in it and there is
also a one-time gel treatment that takes a mere 15 minutes and lasts a
lifetime.
Fluoride is an industrial-grade
chemical that is often contaminated with small indefinite quantities of toxic
heavy metals such as arsenic, lead and radium which accumulate in our bodies
over time and are associated with causing cancer.
Even Toothpaste labels contain warnings
regarding the dangers of swallowing too much toothpaste at one time due to the
fluoride content, so why do governments insist on putting it in our water?
According to the
study published in The Lancet, “A systematic review identified five
different similar industrial chemicals as developmental neurotoxicants: lead,
methylmercury … arsenic and toluene … Six additional developmental
neurotoxicants have also now been identified: manganese, fluoride …” The study
notes that neurodevelopmental disabilities, including attention-deficit
hyperactivity disorder, dyslexia and other cognitive impairments, are now
affecting millions of children worldwide – a “pandemic of developmental
neurotoxicity.”
If you are worried about the amount of
fluoride you are putting into your body, switch to fluoride-free toothpastes
and get a water cooler with a good filter that will rid your drinking water of
all toxins including fluoride.
