The Consequences of Fluoride

Fluoride seems to be forced on us from our municipality drinking water to our dentists’ offices offering it as a swish and rinse treatment while you’re seated in the dental chair. Of course you can also buy home treatments in addition to these nearly “forced upon” us treatments.

But is it healthy for us? Apparently, not, I’m afraid; not when you understand what it does within our bodies and what we are losing by striving for a little less risk of dental decay.

Check out THIS STUDY on fluoride ingestion levels and its relationship to thyroid hormone and TSH in school children. Fluoride not only displaces iodine but causes us to become more susceptible to conditions which are affected by low iodine levels.

Iodine is mainly stored in the breast tissue, thyroid and prostate gland. It explains alot as to why these 3 areas of the body may have had a rise in cancers! Dr. David Brownstein believes fluoride is causing thyroid damage and says what you can do about it in his book.

If you are concerned about fluoride, do not drink tap water, (unless you have a good water filter, but remember your filter is also filtering out “good stuff” it contains) do not swish your mouth with fluoride rinses, and use a good toothpaste that does not contain fluoride. You can find many non-fluoride brands of toothpaste online or at your local health food store.

HERE is a list of cities that add fluoride to their water, and some that do not.
