New federal data reveals more than
half of the children in the US may be suffering the ill effects of consuming
too much fluoride from water
Fluoridation
Scientific
evidence now clearly suggests that consuming too much fluoride is dangerous for
a humans health and yet does little to protect teeth from cavities.
So the question, why is it still
being supported by public health and academic institutions?
Most
children in the US have Flouride-damaged teeth.
walking
science reports: This includes the American Dental Association (ADA), the
American Academy of Pediatrics, U.S. Public Health Service and the World Health
Organization (WHO).
The U.S. Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) even went so far as to name water fluoridation as
one of the top 10 public health achievements of the 20th century.
Meanwhile, the evidence continues to stack up against this archaic practice, with federal data now showing more than half of U.S. kids may be suffering ill effects from consuming too much fluoride.

Most US Kids Have Fluoride-Damaged Teeth
According to research presented at the April 2017 National Oral Health Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico, 57 percent of youth between the ages of 6 and 19 years have dental fluorosis, a condition in which your tooth enamel becomes progressively discolored and mottled, according to data from 2011 to 2012.
According to research presented at the April 2017 National Oral Health Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico, 57 percent of youth between the ages of 6 and 19 years have dental fluorosis, a condition in which your tooth enamel becomes progressively discolored and mottled, according to data from 2011 to 2012.
The statistics represents an
increase from 37 percent reported from 1999 to 2004.
Further, the author stated, “There was a significant increase in caries experience …”
When Fluoride Action Network (FAN) researchers analyzed the
same set of data, they found “The 2011 to
2012 NHANES survey found dental fluorosis in 58.3 percent of the surveyed
adolescents, including an astonishing 21.2 percent with moderate fluorosis and
2 percent with severe.”
According to FAN, “The
data suggests that up to 24 million adolescents now have some form of dental
fluorosis, with over 8 million adolescents having moderate fluorosis, and
840,000 having severe fluorosis.”
In stark contrast, when
fluoridation was first started in the U.S. in 1945, it was promised that only
10 percent of people would suffer from mild dental fluorosis.
Public health officials often
brush off fluorosis as a purely aesthetic issue, one they believe is a good
trade-off for the supposed benefits of fluoride but, in reality, fluorosis is
an outward sign that fluoride is damaging the body.
Research has found impairment in
cognitive abilities among children with fluorosis (even mild fluorosis)
compared to children with no fluorosis.
And some studies have even found
that children with higher levels of fluorosis have increased rates of cavities.
US Lowered
Fluoride Levels in Drinking Water, but Risks Still Remain
With all the fanfare over water fluoridation, you may be surprised to learn that in 2011, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced plans to lower the recommended level of fluoride in drinking water for the first time in 50 years.
With all the fanfare over water fluoridation, you may be surprised to learn that in 2011, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced plans to lower the recommended level of fluoride in drinking water for the first time in 50 years.
This meant the level of fluoride
in drinking water was reduced to 0.7 mg/L from a previously recommended range
of between 0.7 to 1.2 mg/L.
This was a significant reduction
in fluoride exposure for some U.S. communities, but it’s important to
understand that at doses ranging from 0.7 to 2.3 mg/L of fluoride per day,
adverse effects including reduced IQ, behavioral alterations, neurochemical
changes, hypothyroidism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
have been demonstrated.
Also noteworthy, reduced IQ has
been seen in study participants with higher urinary fluoride concentrations,
even when no dental fluorosis was present, which suggests that the doses of
fluoride that impair cognitive ability are lower than those that cause severe
dental fluorosis.
FAN is among a coalition of environmental, medical and health groups urging the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ban the addition of fluoride to public drinking water supplies.

In a petition toward this end, they highlighted several other
studies that also demonstrated “fluoride’s
ability to cause neurotoxic effects at low levels,” including one that
found just 0.5 uM of fluoride (.009 mg/L) caused lipid peroxidation after 48
hours of exposure.
“Most individuals living in
fluoridated areas in the United States have fluoride levels in their blood that
exceed this level,” they wrote.
National Cancer Institute Researcher Warned Against Fluoride
in the 1960’s
Chemist
Dean Burk, Ph.D., co-founded the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI) in 1937
and headed its cytochemistry department for over 30 years.
In the taped interview, he equates water fluoridation to “public murder,” referring to a study
that had been done on the 10 largest U.S. cities with fluoridation
compared to the 10 largest without it.
The study clearly demonstrated
that deaths from cancer abruptly rose in as little as a year or two after
fluoridation began. This and other studies linking fluoride to cancer were
government-ordered but were quickly buried once fluoride was found to be linked
to dramatic increases in cancer.
Since then, a 2012 study found a
link between fluoride exposure and osteosarcoma, a rare type of bone cancer.
A 2006 study also found a link
between fluoride exposure in drinking water during childhood and the incidence
of osteosarcoma among men.
Such a link is biologically
plausible, according to FAN, because of the following:“
THE PLAUSIBILITY OF A
FLUORIDE/OSTEOSARCOMA CONNECTION IS GROUNDED IN THE THREE CONSIDERATIONS:
1. BONE IS THE PRINCIPAL SITE OF FLUORIDE ACCUMULATION,
PARTICULARLY DURING THE GROWTH SPURTS OF CHILDHOOD;
2. FLUORIDE IS A MUTAGEN WHEN PRESENT AT SUFFICIENT
CONCENTRATIONS; AND
3. FLUORIDE STIMULATES THE PROLIFERATION OF BONE-FORMING
CELLS (OSTEOBLASTS), WHICH MAY INCREASE THE RISK FOR SOME OF THE DIVIDING CELLS
TO BECOME MALIGNANT.”
In
addition, the inhalation of airborne fluoride has been found to be a potential
cause of bladder cancer and lung cancer among fluoride-exposed workers.‘
If It’s Not Effective, Why
Do It?’
Retired journalist Jack Crowther of Rutland, Vermont, wrote
an opinion piece for news outlet VT Digger that brings up a very important
point: “Regardless of the other
objections to fluoridation, if it’s not effective, why do it?”
He presents graphs of data prepared
by FAN showing that tooth decay in countries that fluoridate most or some of
their water (or salt) has been on the decline from 1970 to 2010.
Likewise, another graph shows that
tooth decay has also been on decline in countries with no water (or
salt) fluoridation during the same period, including Italy, Sweden, Finland,
Japan, Norway and Belgium.
If you’re surprised that so many
countries do not fluoridate their water, you should know that the U.S. is in
the minority when it comes to water fluoridation.
In fact, the vast majority (97
percent) of Western Europe has rejected water fluoridation, whereas in the U.S.
200 million Americans live in areas where water is fluoridated.
Tooth decay in 12-year-olds is
coming down as fast, if not faster, in non-fluoridated countries as
it is in fluoridated countries.
In one Lithuanian study, for
instance, it was shown that dental caries did not vary according to the level
of fluoride in the water.
“Regardless of the
concentration of fluoride in the drinking water, the prevalence of past and
present caries was high,” the researchers noted, showing
once again that subjecting entire populations to a form of mass medication
without informed consent is highly questionable and dangerous, especially
considering its unnecessary and ineffective.
Leading
Fluoride Supporter Changed His Position When Confronted With the Evidence
Crowther also features data from the late New Zealand dentist John Colquhoun, who was a leading fluoridation supporter until he delved into the research in 1980.
Crowther also features data from the late New Zealand dentist John Colquhoun, who was a leading fluoridation supporter until he delved into the research in 1980.
His international tour showed no difference between rates of
tooth decay in the nonfluoridated versus fluoridated areas he
visited, causing him to change his position and become a fluoridation opponent.
“For the remainder of his life, Colquhoun
sought to end fluoridation, a program he had helped create,” Crowther said.
An interview with Colquhoun is
above and well worth watching. FAN added:
“THE MOST OBVIOUS REASON TO
END FLUORIDATION IS THAT IT IS NOW KNOWN THAT FLUORIDE’S MAIN BENEFIT COMES
FROM TOPICAL CONTACT WITH THE TEETH, NOT FROM INGESTION. EVEN THE CDC’S ORAL
HEALTH DIVISION NOW ACKNOWLEDGES THIS.
THERE IS SIMPLY NO NEED,
THEREFORE, TO SWALLOW FLUORIDE, WHETHER IN THE WATER, TOOTHPASTE OR ANY OTHER
FORM. FURTHER, DESPITE EARLY CLAIMS THAT FLUORIDATED WATER WOULD REDUCE
CAVITIES BY 65 PERCENT, MODERN LARGE-SCALE STUDIES SHOW NO CONSISTENT OR
MEANINGFUL DIFFERENCE IN THE CAVITY RATES OF FLUORIDATED AND NONFLUORIDATED
AREAS.”
Fortunately, the word that
fluoridation is not a suitable means for keeping teeth healthy is spreading,
including in Meadville, Pennsylvania. The city was considering adding fluoride
to their water, necessitating a fluoride forum held May 4, 2017.
Fourteen speakers spoke in
opposition of fluoridation while 11 spoke in favor of it, trying to
sway the Meadville Area Water Authority board’s decision.
Board member Hal Tubbs, who voted
against fluoridation, pointed out that most of those in favor were affiliated
with the pro-fluoridation Meadville Smiles group, leaving only perhaps one
independent voice.
“This tells me that actual
customers are against fluoridated water by a count of 14 to one,” Tubbs wrote in an email to The Meadville Tribune.
“What I took away from the
presentation is that our customers want to decide and control what they put
into their bodies … They don’t want a fluoride additive forced on them.”
Protecting
Your Oral Health Has Nothing to Do With Fluoride
When it comes to good oral hygiene and preventing cavities, please remember,
drinking fluoridated water and brushing your teeth with fluoridated toothpaste
is not the answer.
Rather, it’s about your diet and
proper dental care: brushing and flossing. By avoiding sugars and processed
foods, you prevent the proliferation of the bacteria that cause decay in the
first place.
Following up with proper brushing
and flossing and getting regular cleanings with a mercury-free biological
dentist will ensure that your teeth and gums stay healthy naturally.
Your toothbrush and natural
fluoride-free toothpaste are important, but don’t be misled by
thinking they’re the only options for sound dental health. Many natural
substances, like the foods you eat, also have the power to drastically improve
the health of your teeth and gums, and thereby the health of the rest of your
body, too.
Recommendations released by The
University of Calgary School of Public Policy championed the use of prevention
and education to prevent early childhood cavities, noting water fluoridation
wouldn’t be needed if such measures were effectively practiced.
The paper’s authors even pointed
out that water fluoridation is not preventing tooth decay, as areas with water
fluoridation still have a high rate of early childhood cavities.
The recommendations call for
increased education for parents on the importance of proper feeding and dental
hygiene for infants, as well as for health care professionals to discuss these
issues with patients.
Help End the Practice of Fluoridation
There’s no doubt about it: Fluoride should not be ingested.
There’s no doubt about it: Fluoride should not be ingested.
Even scientists from the EPA’s National Health and
Environmental Effects Research Laboratory have classified fluoride as a “chemical having substantial evidence of
developmental neurotoxicity.”
Furthermore, according to the CDC,
41 percent of American adolescents now have dental fluorosis — unattractive
discoloration and mottling of the teeth that indicate overexposure to fluoride.
Clearly, children are being
overexposed, and their health and development put in jeopardy. Why? The only
real solution is to stop the archaic practice of water fluoridation in the
first place.
Fortunately, the Fluoride Action
Network has a game plan to END water fluoridation worldwide.
Clean pure water is a prerequisite
to optimal health. Industrial chemicals, drugs, and other toxic additives
really have no place in our water supplies.
So please,
protect your drinking water and support the fluoride-free movement by making
a tax deductible donation to the Fluoride Action Network today.
